I never tried that, but I think the RCFILE_01 since when printing the
user is already on the
server and using it's environment. What you shoul modify is the
Xsession script that launches
the IceWM session and write a $HOME/.lpoptions file when the user is
logged in based on
his/her $DISPLAY variable (which containts the name of the client
machine), or use the XDM to run an additional script - for instance
GDM has support for PreSession/PostSession
scripts (just make a script and put it in the /etc/gdm/PostSession/
directory and it will be
executed after the user logs in).
the script could be something like:
[ - /etc/gdm/PreSession/cups - ]
#!/bin/bash
client_ip=`echo $DISPLAY | cut -d: -f 1`
if [ "x$ip" == "x" ] ; then
# this is a local client
exit
fi
case "$client_ip" in
'client11' | 'client12' | 'client1x' )
echo "Default printer1" > $HOME/.lpoptions
;;
'client21' | 'client22' | 'client2x' )
echo "Default printer2 > $HOME/.lpoptions
;;
*) # default printer for everyone else ? set it up if desired
;;
esac
[ - end script ]
