Hallo Alexander, How about assigning a default printer in dependence of the workstation? No access rights, but most of the users don't think about on which printer to print, they just hit the print-button. Frank

But the reason for contacting this list is a big challenge with ltsp. I'm a student on a school in Germany and I manage the computers with some others... This summer we decided to bring PC's in each classroom. The perfect solution for it: ltsp. Because we bought new PCs for one computer room, we could use the 7 years old ones as terminal clients. We only needed to buy a new big Server. Now our problem. The system works very fine, and everything is allright. But it would be nice, if we also could print at the terminals. Normally, that's no problem. But we want to restrict the access to the printers based on the geographical location of the terminal and the printer. So it would be ideally, if we have a list with the IPs of the terminals and then the printers by each IP where you are allowed to print at. I heard about the possibility to change a cups binary on the server which filters the IP of the terminal where the current user works out of the DISPLAY variable. With this you could look in the list if it is allowed to print on this printer. But I'm not so familiar with CUPS that I know where to begin. Someone on the LinuxWorldExpo in Cologne this week recommended me this list, because he knew that here are people, who manage even much bigger terminal networks. So I would be grateful if someone can help me with this problem. Have a nice weekend Alexander Hungenberg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
