[FreeNX-kNX] Printing and Cups client

[Marcel kraan]

Thank you very much for the config...

Iam working for 3 weks on the printer and still nothing..

CLIENT: (192.168.0.2 where the real printer is)
- I have configured the printer local with cups 1.1.20 and it's working (LOCAL)

root at term1 ~]# cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
<DefaultPrinter hp940c>
DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0
Location
Info
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

- i have installed the default foonmatic-hpijs driver for the printer. (but in printers.conf it's RAW) (?)
- i have selected the printer in the nxclient at services.
Enable cups printing  port 631  (yes)
Selected the printer 'hp940c'

SERVER:
I have downgraded cups had an error on the new DBUS so i upgrade DBUS.
After a vew softlinks, cups 1.1.20 was working

I have installed also nxclient from nomachine

i have changed in /etc/nxserver/node.conf
ENABLE_KDE_CUPS="1"
KDE_PRINTRC="$HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeprintrc"
CUPS_ETC="/etc/cups"



and also in /usr/bin/nxloadconfig
ENABLE_KDE_CUPS="1"
KDE_PRINTRC="" # Calculated
#KDE_PRINTRC="$KDEHOME/.kde/share/config/kdeprintrc";
CUPS_ETC="/etc/cups/"


/usr/bin/nxnode
DEVICE_URI="ipp://www.serverhostname.nl:$port/printers/$printer"


I never had any popup for a printer selection.
The printer is also not in the printers.conf on the server.
Also i have no environment with KDE_HOME and KDE_PRINTRC after loggin in to the server,

If someone wants to have access to the server this is no problem for me.

Please help :-)
