[K12OSN]Centos+USB+local printer... and sharing it

Fri Jun 13 11:35:10 UTC 2008

Is ws099 in your /etc/hosts file or in dns?

In my dhcpd.conf file, I believe I needed to add the line:

use-host-decl-names on;

in the section where I handed out the static IP address of the thin 
client that has the printer attached.  This "overrides" the statement:

get-lease-hostnames	true;

Which is the default, I think.

If somebody could confirm this, that would be great.  I set mine up over 
a year ago, so I may be remembering it incorrectly.
