22PyKotIcon is a cross-platform client-side helper for PyKota.
23
24It is meant to be launched whenever the user logs in, and stay in
25the taskbar (depending on the client operating system) until the
26user closes his session.
27 
28Installation :
29
30  * GNU/Linux and similar :
31 
32    $ cd pykoticon
33    $ python setup.py install
34   
35    Then modify your .xsession file, or the appropriate file depending
36    on your desktop environment, to ensure that the pykoticon command
37    is launched in the background each time your X Window session
38    starts.
39   
40    NB : `pykoticon --help` will give you hints about the expected
41    command line parameters.
42   
43  * MS Windows : 
44 
45    Download pykoticon-x.yy.zip from
46   
47        http://www.pykota.com/software/pykoticon/download/tarballs/
48       
49    Unzip it into a directory of its own. I usually unzip it into   
50    /var/lib/samba/netlogon/pykoticon/
51   
52    Modify the PYKOTICON.VBS file to include the list of authorized
53    print servers and change other parameters as needed.
54   
55    Ensure that PYKOTICON.VBS is executed each time an user logs
56    in. The easiest way to do this is in STARTUP.CMD :
57   
58      --- CUT ---
59      SET PATH=%PATH%;\\MYSERVER\NETLOGON\PYKOTICON\
60      \\MYSERVER\NETLOGON\PYKOTICON\PYKOTICON.VBS
61      --- CUT ---
62     
63    NB : if you launch PYKOTICON.EXE directly instead of from
64    PYKOTICON.VBS, a small but disturbing window may appear on
65    the screen.
