> PXES Universal Linux Thin Client Project: Wishlist

ICA / Citrix environments often use Thinprint (www.thinprint.com) for
printing. The server is payware but the client can be downloaded freely
from their web site (just like ICA). The Thinprint client replaces lpd
or lp-server, basically. What needs to be done is start the client
(/usr/bin/thnuclnt) in /etc/rc.d/rcS instead of lpd. Works just
fine. There are just two things to be done:

- add /usr/bin/thnuclnt and its config file /etc/thinprintrc to the stock
  or extra dir tree (simple, just copy them over, like with the ICA client
  itself)
- add some logic on pxesconfig to a) enable thinprint and b) to configure
  thinprintrc.

Did that mod for a customer, and he's perfectly happy with his 560+
clients. He's just stuck with the current version because the next PXES
upgrade will require another mod...
