Isn't the LTSP about running apps from the "Server". Doesn't a client
(in this configuration) boot _from_ the server and thereby _not_ even
require/have a harddrive? That being the case there would not be
anywhere to install the printer on the "client". As I recall the OP even
stated that the printer was on port 9100 which would imply that the
printer was on a JetDirect device and make it a network printer in which
case the printer can be located anywhere, even next to the client
machine.
