Printing From Non-DICE Clients

Project ID: 
41
Current stage: 
Manager: 
What: 

Description: This project would reconsider how we manage printing from non-DICE clients such as Windows PCs and Macs.Currently this is done via Samba but this is not an ideal solution since

1. The user needs to authenticate to samba (and therefore be set up as a Samba user) before they can print.
2. The hope is that one of the benefits obtained from the move to an AFS based file system will be the phasing out of support for Samba

This project would investigate alternative solutions for providing printing services to non-DICE clients and implement any solution arrived at.

Status: This project will obviously be affected by any changes to the printing setup made as a result of the move to FC5. Killed off as this project has been superceeded by the CUPS project.
