[Ltsp-discuss] No Printers available in LibreOffice

[Michael Peters]

I am ready to deploy LTSP with Lubuntu 14.04. The home directories, DHCP, CUPS, LDAP for authentication, are all on external servers. All works well except printing in LibreOffice on the fat client. I am having the same issue with LTSP-PNP as well.
The printers show in the printer dialog boxes for all programs on the thin clients (including LibreOffice), and all other programs on the fat clients and in LTSP-PNP, but not in LibreOffice on the fat clients nor on ltsp-pnp. Any ideas how to solve as the LibreOffice application Suite is the main program used at my school.

Thanks

Michael

You might want to try with LDM_PRINTER_LIST and LDM_PRINTER_DEFAULT in
lts.conf. They are briefly documented in the lts.conf manpage in the
ltsp-docs package.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have LDM_PRINTER_LIST and LDM_PRINTER_DEFAULT set in lts.conf. I also had to create ~/.cups/client.conf with the line ServerName= 192.168.10.4:631/version=1.1 (192.168.10.4 is the print server address)
