Eckhard,
Ok, i've found the problem. It's a bug in the rc.sysinit script of
LTSP-4.1.
If you edit the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.sysinit script, look around
line 167.
You should see lines like this:
TYPE_0=${PRINTER_1_TYPE}
TYPE_1=${PRINTER_2_TYPE}
TYPE_2=${PRINTER_3_TYPE}
The printer numbers are off by 1.
They should look like this:
TYPE_0=${PRINTER_0_TYPE}
TYPE_1=${PRINTER_1_TYPE}
TYPE_2=${PRINTER_2_TYPE}
If you make that change, the script will know that your PRINTER_0 is
parallel, and it should then automatically load the "lp" module, if it's
not already loaded.
Give that a try, and let me know how it works. If it fixes the problem,
i'll apply a patch to the next update of rc.sysinit.
Thanks,
Jim McQuillan
