Hi,
=20
I know that if I configure the lp_server package in the build.conf, the
local printers are shared on port 9100. I setup the printer connected to
tsHP by a windows xp by following the FAQ and it works fine.
=20
But I am trying to setup the shared printer automatically for all
thinstations in the enviroment and I want use PRINTER_3 for this. Then I
will use them in the rdesktop printer redirection. From your mail I
understand that I cannot acccess a remote printer from a thinstation. Is
this correct?
=20
If it is correct I have to share the printer on port 9100, then I have to
add this printer for each of the users, and I have to use roaming profile
because I will use several TS in a load-balanced enviroment. Now I do not
use roaming profile. If I cannot solve it on the thinstation side, I have=
 to
enable roaming profile support which I do not want to do :-(
=20
Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Hi,
=20
Followed you up until you got to the printer_3?  Why do you need to do=
 this?
=20
Btw, just spotted a typo in the .conf example file,
=20
PRINTER_0_TYPE     N for network,
=20
you can't use N for network as its unsupported.  LPRng supports this, but
its a lot bigger so I haven't included it.  The N for network option is
actually to connect to another machine with a printer.  What your asking is
to share a locally attached printer, so the PRINTER_0 config should be
correct.
=20
If that doesn't work, then try a=20
=20
nmap tsHP
=20
is there a port 9100 enabled.  If so, you can actually telnet to this port,
ie
=20
telnet tsHP 9100
=20
then if you type things they should actually come out on the printer.
=20
let me know how you get on.
=20
Cheers

Hello everybody,
=20
I am trying to settle the printer configs for my infrastructure. I have a=
 HQ
Office and remote offices over the WAN. I have one DHCP&TFTP server per a
branch. I boot my thinstations over these servers. And My Terminal Servers
are located in HQ Office.
=20
=20
In every remote branch I have the same printer infrastructer. In every
office I have a LaserJet connected to a thinstation.=20
=20
I give the name tsHP to the thinstation which has HP LaserJet.
=20
I have to use HP LaserJet from Terminal Servers with printer redirection=
 for
every thinstations. ( I have the rdesktop package compiled by Richard
dolinsky) In order to have this functionality I think I have to configure
this HP LaserJet via on the tsHP and share it with lp_server package, and
then I have to configure this printer as a network printer in the
thinstation.conf.network file in order to access this printer from every
thinstation.
=20
everything seems ok. but I cannot write the correct configure parameters. I
have tried the following for the thinstation.conf-tsHP
=20
PRINTER_0_NAME=3DHP

PRINTER_0_DEVICE=3D/dev/printers/0

PRINTER_0_TYPE=3DP

=20

I think I have to write following lines to my thinstation.conf.network file
but I don't know what to write for PRINTER_3_DEVICE

PRTINTER_3_NAME=3DHPLaserJet

PRINTER_3_DEVICE=3D??????

PRINTER_3_TYPE=3DN
