I use SuSE 8.0 on the server and got the hint to setup the printer on
the Thin Client via Yast:
>Ronald,
>on 8.0 and before select "Prefilter queue" in Yast2. Queue name is lp.
>Select you model, and that's it.
>have fun
>

I did it and after telling the name of the thin client (ron-TC) I put in
the name of the remote printer queue, which I believe is lp0.
The next step is to make a test to reach the printer, but the test shows:
There was a problem.
You specified a wrong queue name on the printer server, or the printer
server does not accept print jobs or the queue on the print server does
not accept print jobs.
Return from remote lpd:

Choose printer Canon BJC-1000 / color 360 dpi
Graphical test print:
[Window pops up]:
The test page was sent to the printer using the command 'lpr -Plp
/tmp/Tast2-16682/testpg.ps'.
Printing should start in a few seconds.
No printing !!!!
What do I miss ?
