Freenx - Client side Windows printing

[Edgar Sampson-2]

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

Hi,

 

I’m using freenx-0.7.3-1.el4.centos on Centos 4.7 and Nomachine client 3.3.0-6 for Windows running cups-1.2.12. So far my sessions are working as expected. I am able to mount the users local filesystem using CIFS. However I seem to struggle to get the client side printing up and running.

 

I have shared the local printer. When logging into a KDE session I can see the share being mounted, the NX printer configuration screen with my shared local printer displaying. I have installed a local printer driver however I cannot see the printer in my KDE session when doing a lpstat.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Regards,
Edgar

Check if the KDE session is using the USR's cups daemon instead of the system one.

Thanks for the reponse,

 

I checked the running cups servers under my KDE session which is pointing to:

homedir/.nx/session/cups/cupsd.conf

 

printers.conf under the above directory also lists my printer but none of the Linux  printing utilities do. Instead it lists the printers which I created under cups on the server.

 

Regards,

Edgar

If you launch kcontrol and look in <Peripherals> <Printers>, it will tell you at the bottom on the page under <Print system currently used> which print system you are using and which server is the current one.

If it is set to the system one then you will only see printers connected to that instance.

Mine is set to  ~/.nx/C-session-details/cups/cups.sock   which means lpstsat etc use that instance.

If you run kcontrol as root, then under the <Print Manager> drop down you can select <Configure Manager> and, under <Cups Server> add the FULL PATH to your nx cups.sock to Host: under server dialogue.

Try this and see if you can see and print to the Workstation Printers.
