I have used the information that I have received to try and make this
happen and it isn't working. That leads me to believe that there is
something else I need to do so her is what I have done and what I'm
using. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Operating system: FC4.4 k12ltsp
Thin client is an old computer set up for etherboot.
The printer is an HP Laserjet 4 Plus parallel port device.
Below are the changes placed in the files I was informed I needed to change
lts.conf file modification
[00:40:33:e2:e7:63]
PRINTER_0_DEVIE = /dev/lp0
PRINTER_0_TYPE = P
dhcpd.conf file modification
host ws001 {
hardware ethernet 00:40:33:e2:e7:63
fixed address 192.186.0.1
}
I went to the dhcpd.leases file and removed the leases for this MAC
address of this thin client.
I ran updatedb before trying to set up the printer
In printer setup I tried the IP address I had set and I also tried the
MAC address nothing works.
I tried this also using the MAC address in place of ws001 in the
dhcpd.conf file.
1. What else do I need to do?
2. How do I do what ever it is I need to do?
Thanks in advance
Pat
