Hello Jim,

I found here at:
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Printers

In the first section,

"Note that, until further notice, a bug exists under LTSP 4.2, that interferes 
with the parallel interface. Under 4.2, the parallel interface will not work. 
Fortuitously, many current day printers also support the USB interface. 
Serial and USB interfaces are unaffected by this bug.

-- For a lot of people the simple act of add "PRINTER_0_WRITE_ONLY = Y" in 
lts.conf solved the problem "

Hmm, I just now noticed the title of the page " Printers attached to LTSP 
workstations".  Does that apply to any PC used as a client or just the thin 
clients from Disklessworkstation.com?
