Hardware support architecture for remote Clients

Hi!
Sorry for probably dumb/beginner question. I read manual, but partly by language problems and lack of experience it was not clear to me about the hardware support for remote clients. Let's say we have central server where the LedgerSMB resides and have remote clients: How the printer jobs is sent to printer (if it is not HTML print)? How the card / bar code readers send their requests/posts to the server? Are there some software with them? etc.? brgds & Thanks in advance, Janeks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

All,
I'll throw my 2 cents in after the confusion I went through with printing. Hope this advice is not outdated. (We use RH EL) Are you using IP printing (Locally or to your remote sites/locations)? First try and set/add the printer to the server within a GUI (Not sure what server software your using) This will allow you to select software drivers for the printer and determine if a 'Driver Bundle' is needed for your particular printer. Next, If your able to successfully install the printer(IP based or otherwise) and print a test page, Look at the new information created in your 'printcap' file (Usually /etc/printcap). This is the information you need to place in legersmb.conf -----Original Message----- From: Bob Miller [mailto:bob@...] Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 11:12 AM To: ledger-smb-users@...

I also use a CUPS-based solution - my LedgerSMB install is actually an OpenVZ container on a different server. I have set up a Hamachi network (yes, I know. I am looking for something similar and GPL) between my servers and clients to allow printing between locations. The print server is Linux but using Samba so that my Windows clients can also use them directly.
Sorry, the only experience I have with bar code readers is in public libraries with a proprietary solution. Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: sags@... To: ledger-smb-users@...

I am not too familiar with Hamachi, but is there some reason why OpenVPN
can not serve in this case? Luke On Sat, 7 Nov 2009, Paul Wrightson wrote: > I also use a CUPS-based solution - my LedgerSMB install is actually an OpenVZ container on a different server.

Many barcode scanners can function as a keyboard wedge. They just send

I use it from my laptop all of the time, to automatically establish a VPN to my datacenter, and never have to change anything when I alter IPs via DHCP, or just plug into some foreign network. In fact, I don't think I've touched the OpenVPN configuration on that laptop in years. I'm using tun devices, with shared secret keys; but the other methods should work as well. > and the second is so that I can > move my OpenVZ containers without messing around with the rest of my > network (the Hamachi config moves with the container). I'm less sure about this one, but by the same logic as the above, I am not seeing why OpenVPN should have a problem with this. True, there will be a delay while a new route is configured, but by careful adjustment to ping reset delays, you could get that down to a reasonable twenty seconds or so maximum, I should think. and that's only if you can't have what ever command transfers the container run a shell script which sends the proper signal to OpenVPN to cause it to exit and reconstitute the route immediately.
