Citirx Printing problems

Dear list :

We are trying to re-use Pentium III computers that are being retired as
Thin Clients using pxes.  We are using version .7 of PXES to boot
from a TFTP server that hosts the image file.  Here is the boot sequence for
the Test computer using this method:

1. Power on
2. Query DHCP
3. Receive IP, Subnet, DNS, TFTP server IP from DHCP server (Windows
2000)
4. BOOT network using PXE
5. Contact TFTP server specified by DHCP
6. Download linux image and bootloader
7. de-compress linux image and run bootloader
8. bootloader loads linux image
9. Citrix ICA for Linux is executed and connects to Citrix Server
(Windows
2000)
10. User authenticates to Terminal Services
11. User logs into Citrix Server

Once logged in to the citrix session, everything works as expected from the
user
perspective EXCEPT printing.  Each workstation has an HP deskjet printer
attached
directly to its lpt port.  We can print raw data directly to the lpt port
(/dev/printers/0)
so we know the physical connection is working.  Unfortunately, we can not
get any
other printing working.  We have tried piping print jobs directly to lpr
and while the jobs do show up in the spool, they fail to ever print.  We
have searched
the FAQ's and the Forum to no avail.  Our next thought is to perhaps install
samba
and try printing that way.  We are hoping you guys can provide us with some
pointers.  We are planning on rolling
this out to about 300 desktops however, local printing is a MUST.

I have double checked to make sure the local printing option is selected
during the image creation
process.  We are open to any and all suggestions and are looking forward to
your responses.  Please
feel free to reply off list if you feel it is more appropriate.

Thanks in advance,

Micah

on a side note:  During our image creation, we chose the "use samba" option.
When the image booted however,
there was no samba process (smbd or nmbd) running and I could not find any
local smb.conf.  What are we missing?
