Comment:
printers attached to LTSP servers are definitly working

  
  '''LTSP server'''<<BR>>
  An LTSP server is a powerful machine that does most of the work by running all the processes and serving the result to the thin clients that are connected to it through a switch. It also provides the file system for diskless workstations.<<BR>>
- It provides file central storage, central user authentication and generally they do not offer any services to the rest of the network. There can be multiple LTSP servers in the network and they possibly may be used to share printers.

  '''Thin client'''<<BR>>
  A thin client is a computer terminal with a monitor, mouse and keyboard that can be an old, weak machine (A 133Mhz Pentium I is enough), without even a hard disk. Ideally the network card should be bootable (by PXE or Etherboot) but, if not, older cards can be obtained for just a few Euro. Alternatively, you can boot them using a Bootdisk. Its function is to draw the result of the thin-client server computation and to provide mouse and keyboard input.
