Re: Hardware support architecture for remote Clients

["James Stevens" <..hidden..>]

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 Hope this advice is not outdated.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

In one case, I have installed cups on the server, and there is an lpr
command in my ledgersmb.conf:

printer    = lpr -PHPLJet

I believe you need to have at least one printer called 'printer' in the
ledgersmb.conf

In another case, the invoice is emailed as a pdf, and the ones that need
to be printed are printed from the email client on whichever local
machine.

I don't have barcode readers, so I can't answer this.
