There should be something going on fridge soon. I had a guy from canonical email me to take our case study I just need to get his some pictures of our labs, and happy smiley people using it productively. All the kids are happy with it, esp' at lunch when they swamp the labs to play flash games online! > from what I understand here, you want to use cups for some printers. > your setup is very well done (thin clients, great stuff). however, I did > find one limitation on ubuntu ... using cups. I'm finding that out too.. If ubuntu wants to get into the enterprise more, this will have to be addressed at some stage. Do I hear someone say "Put an option on the server install cd to install a pre-configured cups server.. email server, headless ltsp server etal" I would be more than willing to test stuff out in this respect. > Ubuntu expects you to use their panel interface for cups, not > http://localhost:661/.

I am in-fact using the dapper server, then installing cupsys cupsys-bsd fommatic-filters-ppds.... etc etc Adding Allow my.net.work.ip to / and /admin in cupsd.conf has enabled the web interface. Up to this point is fantastic. Adding the printer is where I have problems. As soon as I finish the setup and click add printer the page asks me to upgrade or access the /admin via https. If this https has been complied out by the package maintainers upstream then why is it still asking me for https when adding a printer? It just doesn't make sense to me. -- 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/
