Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ltsp-client
Runing ltsp on edgy:
When declaring more than one printer for a client, only the first
(PRINTER_0_DEVICE) is finally configured in the client machine, no
lp_server is started for PRINTER_[1-9]_DEVICE
Since we use an old pc as print server, with two printers attached, this
is a problem.
In the file /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/ltsp_client_setup the function
configure_printer is defined as:
configure_printer() {
if [ -n "$PRINTER_0_DEVICE" ]; then
/usr/lib/ltsp/start_printer 0 &
fi
}
As you can see, it only sets the first printer.
I don't know if this is the right place to post a patch, but I've
changed the function to make it cycle all printers defined in the range
PRINTER_[0-9]_DEVICE and start a lp_server for each one:
configure_printer() {
for prn_dev in $(env | awk -F= '$1 ~ /^PRINTER_[0-9]_DEVICE/ { print $1
}'); do
prn_no=`echo $prn_dev | cut -f2 -d'_'`
/usr/lib/ltsp/start_printer $prn_no &
done
}
Since I'm no awk wizard, I didn't know how to 'cut' the number from the
variable name in on line, but it works ok.
Now our print server has the two printers running.
Hope this could help someone. If this is not the place to submit a
patch, I apologise.
Greetings,
Gabriel
