I have the master and agent running TL-v4.5 now (the beta version); a Windows-client is version 4.4<br><br>
1) I can print normally from this Windows PC to my local printer, any type of file<br>
2) I have the Windows printer-queue open, to see what the printer is doing (if anything)<br>
3) I launch the TL-client, make sure that the local printer is exported to TL, then open a new session on the agent<br>
4) I see that the 'thinlocal' print queue is enabled:<br>
$ lpstat -t<br>
scheduler is running<br>
no system default destination<br>
device for thinlocal: thinlocal:/<br>
thinlocal accepting requests since vr 30 okt 2015 14:36:35 CET<br>
printer thinlocal is idle. enabled since vr 30 okt 2015 14:36:35 CET<br>
Sending job to queue thinlocal@127.0.0.1:4913<br><br>
5) I open some web-page, print it to a local PDF file; so far so good (the file exists, and is about 43KB size)<br><br>
6) when I transfer the file manually from the TL-directory to my Windows-PC, open the PDF file with Acrobat Reader, then I can print it normally to my local printer; so far so good<br>
7) however, when I print from within the TL-session to the 'thinlocal' printer, and keep an eye at the same time on the Windows-screen which shows the print-queue, I see a very short print-job appearing on the Windows-print-queue, then disappears again. And nothing gets sent to my printer.<br><br>
-> how to diagnose what gets sent to my Windows-TL-client ? Possible some empty job ?<br><br>
The log on the Windows-PC, "%TEMP%\tlclient.log" contains these lines with the confirmation that the job sending happens well :<br>
2015-10-30T14:48:00: New thinlocal printer job, receiving to: C:\Users\rob\AppData\Local\Temp\lpd18<br>
2015-10-30T14:48:00: Finished receiving printer job<br>
2015-10-30T14:48:00: Printing job with title "[Thinlinc-technical] Thinlinc printing issue workaround" and type "application/octet-stream" (1 copies) on queue "thinlocal".<br>
2015-10-30T14:48:00: Job printed successfully<br><br>
8) when I change my Windows default printer to a PDF-file printer, an retry again printing from the TL-session, then I can save the generated PDF file on the Windows-PC, and see correctly the web-page that I was trying to see on paper...<br><br>
-> I am lost, where to start diagnosing ?<br><br>
thanks in advance for any hints !<br>
