Chapter 5. Printer Features
5.2.3. CUPS configuration on the Machine running VSM Agent
The machines in the cluster that run VSM Agent, i.e., the machines that host user sessions, needs a
running CUPS daemon (cupsd), but this cupsd only needs one printer defined - the thinlocal queue. The
reason for this is that the local printer backend needs to run on the same machine as the session of the
user printing to local printer to be able to access the endpoint of the SSH tunnel used to transport the
printer job to the client.
The thinlocal queue is added by tl-setup when installing the agent.
Note: The CUPS daemon on each agent must listen to requests on the network interface, and allow
printer jobs from the machine running VSM Server to be submitted to the thinlocal queue.
When a user submits a job to the local printer, i.e. to the thinlocal queue, the printer job will be submitted
to the CUPS daemon running on the VSM Server host. It will then be respooled to the cupsd on the agent
server hosting the session. This is to make central configuration of all other printers possible.
5.3. Local printer support
5.3.1. Theory of operation
With ThinLinc, it is possible to print to a printer attached to the client computer. Two primary modes of
operation available: device independent and device dependent. Both modes can be used at the same time.
See below for details about the two modes.
The thinlocal printer is cluster-aware. If a user submits a print job on a node in a ThinLinc cluster which
does not host the users session, the print job will automatically be respooled to the correct node. This is
used in the recommended setup (see Section 5.2.
If a user has more than one session, print jobs submitted to the local printer will be redirected to the
client that made the last connection.
The local printer features is implemented as a backend to CUPS (Common Unix Printing System).
Note: When using local printers, we recommend that you activate the parameter
/vsmserver/unbind_ports_at_login.
5.3.2. Device independent mode
The device independent mode is designed to provide universal access to any local printer without having
to install drivers on the ThinLinc server. This is achieved by converting the print job to the Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF) on the terminal server, and then sending it through an encrypted tunnel
to the client. The client subsequently prints the job on the local printer using a built-in PDF renderer.
