Hi, To fill you in I am from Skegness Grammar School an 800+ pupil school in Lincolnshire. We run Ubuntu Dapper as a thin client environment right throughout the school and use it to teach ALL curriculum lessons.
Just recently we have had a few problems printing from the four LTSP servers we have. (we don't use edubuntu due to Local Disk Access, although in a few months we will be trying edgy on a test server. Anyway I digress). I think the reason is that we have the four app servers accessing the jetdirect enables printers directly insteed of on server managing all. We also would like to allow access to sertain printers from all machines but only from staff accounts, thus: My idea was to install a Dapper server and on it cupsys et al. Then administer via web (from a set number of machines, e.i. My office, staff room, anywhere the kids don't have access). Problem is that the web interface is disabled by default.. not a problem I hear you cry. Wrong! after enabling the / and /admin sections via the cupsd.conf Allow directive the web site does indeed become accessible, problem is that when trying to add a printer the web interface is asking for an upgrade because I am not accessing it from https://. I know this is some kind of licence issue using ssl, but I don't want to use https. and even when I install openssl the thing still doesn't work. I have googled and there has been a few posts relating to my problem here but none that actually fix the problem, after trying the suggestions the trail just goes cold. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Kind regards Alistair Crust Systems Administrator Skegness Grammar School Vernon Road Skegness PE25 2QS TEL: 01754 610000 (ext'852) FAX: 01754 896875 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
