[K12OSN] lp_server not running

[Jim McQuillan]

John,

I'm assuming that the terminal you are setting up is the one with the
MAC address of  '00:48:54:67:3a:64'

Did you know that you have 2 sections for that terminal in the lts.conf
file?

I think that is supposed to work, but i've never tried it.  I suppose
that could cause a problem.

Also, what version of LTSP/K12ltsp are you using?

There was a bug in the printer stuff that was fixed in LTSP-4.1.

The problem was it was looking for 'PRINTER_1_TYPE' instead of
'PRINTER_0_TYPE' for the first printer.  The PRINTER_0_DEVICE was still
ok, it was only the TYPE that was looking for '1'.  So, in that case,
the quick answer was to set the following:

     PRINTER_1_TYPE   = P
     PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/lp0


Since either 4.1 or 4.1.1, this is no longer a problem.

Take a look at /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.sysinit.  Search for
'PRINTER_1_TYPE', and see if it is looking for 1, 2, 3, or 0, 1, 2
for the printer types.  The correct script is looking for 0, 1, 2.
