Printer problems

[Todd Hackett]

Hi All

Almost everything us up and operational - pretty kwel!

Can't seem to get a printer working though. Have the PRINTER_0_???
things in lts.conf and I updated the image. Looking at DMESG on the
client shows printer stuff, but I can't print.

When the client boots, the printer resets and home's about 3/4 of the
way through the boot so I know it is connected and listening.

I must be missing something ... ideas?

Thanks!

Todd,

Do you have the following line(s) for this client in your lts.conf ?
(you showed only the one line lts.conf config in your post)

1)

[MA:CD:DR:ES:SS:SS(myclient)]
PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/usb/lp0 (or /dev/usblp0)
PRINTER_0_TYPE=U

On the TC drop to a shell and do
ls -la /dev/usb/

You should see /lp#

2) Asking the obvious . You did add the driver for this printer to the
server? Did this printer work alright connected to the server itself?

3) What brand of printer is it.
Some Lexmark printers are very difficult to get working on ltsp,or any
Linux distro for that matter.

Take Care,
Barry

I seem to have better luck with 
PRINTER_0_TYPE = S
when the printer is USB
