On the server side:
If the web server has been set up for Guacamole, In the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, add the lines between the gray bars
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName examplehost.crecom.com.au
Alias /printers /var/www/html/printers
<Directory /var/www/html/printers>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride Options
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ProxyPassMatch ^/printers !
Proxypass / http://localhost:8080/guacamole/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/guacamole/
ErrorLog logs/guacamole.log
CustomLog logs/guacamole-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>Uncomment the following line:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Add the following line just after "DocumentRoot"
SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH lib:/usr/lib:/u/ccr.15/lib
Add apache to the "control" group (in /etc/group)
control:3232:apache
Create the following directoriy /var/www/html/printers/
And copy 2 files from sam
/u/ccdev/std/internet/cgi/deviceservice.cgi /u/ccdev/std/binl/printer
Important: make sure you set the above 2 files to be executable and never use binx11 printer executable
Add a new file .htaccess containing the following:
Options -Indexes
run prnaad and for the "System printer name" you have to specify a directory (start and end with slash). To make things less messy, put them in a subdirectory containing all the printers:
/printers/docket/ /printers/laser/ /printers/label/
Make sure /u/cc is a symbolic link to /cc
ln -s /u/cc /cc
Restart apache:
service httpd restart
Program should automatically create them (below your $CCDIR). If it does not, then you may have to do it yourself.
If this is for a company with many locations, or a server with multiple companies, it might be a good idea to place these under the company directory (and maybe with individual directories for locations).
Once the above is all set, proceed to setting up the client.
On the client side for MAC:
Download 2 files:
http://customers.crecom.com.au/winprint/jre-10.0.2_osx-x64_bin.dmg <-for mac
http://customers.crecom.com.au/winprint/crecomps.zip
Run the jre-installer, follow all the defaults.
Unzip the crecomps.zip into /Library/crecomps/ <-for mac
Run the install.sh file. <-for mac
Check the logs under c:\crecomps\logs . You should not see any obvious errors.
sudo vi /Library/crecomps/start.sh. Leave everything as is but modify the arguments as follows: (this is last step) <-for mac
start&URL=<URL>&SECS=<INTERVAL>&CENV=<CCDIR>&CP_<CREPRINTERx>=<WINPRINTERNAME>&CP_<CREPRINTERx>=nexa
Where:
<URL> is in the format http://drboom.crecom.com.au/printers/deviceservice.cgi
<INTERVAL>is number of seconds between checking for new jobs. 5 seconds seem ok, If server and client can take it, you can go as low as 1 second
<CCDIR> is their CCDIR like /u/cc/
<CREPRINTERx> is the Control short printer name (the ones you set up in prnaad on the server). x is 1 to 3
<WINPRINTERNAME> is the corresponding windows printer name
Restart the computer and check if the service auto started
Important note for Linux or Mac:
make sure the printer is "shared to network" or java may not see the printer.
