Possible to rename 'kiosk printer'?
Posted: 20 May 2017, 01:16
I have added a network printer to our config file [in fact I have added 2 network printers but we'll come to that later] but it shows as 'kiosk printer'
...
printer_connection=lpd://iprange/Library-Copier
printer_connection=lpd://iprange/Food
printer_model=Generic PCL 5e Printer
...
the 1st listed printer works as expected. However, it would be good if I could name it something other than 'kiosk printer'.
To give the printer a 'real' name, do I have to setup individual ppd files and their relevant config entries?
The 2nd listed printer does not appear; users can only print to the 1st listed printer; the 'kiosk printer'.
I am reading FAQs and through the forum threads to discover my ineptitude...
I am obviously doing something wrong. As soon as I find out I will report my findings. In the meantime I would appreciate your feedback.
