Hello!
We installed Porteus on two kiosks and the employees replaced the printer with a different model. Is it possible to edit the printer configuration via SSH in a live setting? If so, where can I find the configuration file? Is there a way to test print remotely?

Change config file on live machines via SSH
If you have SSH access and enough memory on the kiosk systems, you can
- use the wizard to build a new (properly configured) Porteus Kiosk ISO (works also in a VM),
- copy the new ISO image via scp onto the target, and then
- use 'dd' to manually replace the existing installation on the target HDD/SDD.
- Reboot might require a power-cycle on some platforms.
