Thanks for your help! Did not work out though. On the running thin
client there is a file called /etc/cups/client.conf which has the
'ServerName' pointing to the LTSP server, not the CUPS server (these are
not the same box). However the file is not in the chroot tree, so my
guess is it is generated at boot time? How can I change it to point to
the Cups server instead?

Our print server is a CentOS 5 box, btw, while the LTSP server runs
Ubuntu 9.04.

Thanks,
Anton
