[K12OSN] adding printer problem

[William Fragakis]

A note to others. This works fine in LTSP 4.2. When migrating
installations to LTSP 5, I found that I needed to use

    PRINTER_0_TYPE          = U
    PRINTER_0_DEVICE        = /dev/usblp0

(no slash between usb and lp0)

Hope that helps prevent some unwanted agony.

Regards,
William
