Hi All,
Hi Andre,
I have a ltsp server and a thin client that works. Now I need to connect a USB printer to the client and make that work. I have googled and followed the documentation, and different variations of it, but I cannot get it to work.

Could printer/device usage possibly be permission based, as so much else is on Linux?
I don't have the solution but hope this helps.
I would think that if you installed the printer as a local printer on the client and then made sure its print queue has 777 permissions.
Then install a network printer on the LTSP box and point it to the printer on the client.
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.
