I had another hack, where I installed cups server in the LTSP chroot and
configured it to listen only on the thin client that has the matching
configured IP address. I had to add some directories to the rw_dirs in
ltsp-client-settings in /etc/default. It worked quite well, I'll have to
do something similar again soon. We can compare notes and give it to
ogra/uncle jim/scotty to figure out a way to get it into LTSP :)
