Continuing for the moment to work just on the printing question, the "Printing service not available" message went away after I ran (on the server) system-config-printer and under Server: Settings checked "Publish shared printers connected to this system" and then updated the image. But there are still no printers showing up on the fat client when I run system-config-printer there, and I see that in the image printers.conf has no content except 3 lines of comments. The content is apparently stripped during an image update. So even if I were to set up a network printer on the server (for the printer connected to the server), that configuration would be stripped during an image update and so not propagated to the fat client. @ Johan: If the above is true, how do you then add your own printers.conf? Neither the server nor the image has an existing cups-browsed.conf, though from the manpage it seems that it may not be necessary. If I understand it correctly, there are defaults for the values that probably allow things to just work in many/most circumstances. Is there a how-to for setting up server-connected printers for fat clients, or can someone explain how? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
