| 22 | PyKotIcon is a cross-platform client-side helper for PyKota. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | It is meant to be launched whenever the user logs in, and stay in |
|---|
| 25 | the taskbar (depending on the client operating system) until the |
|---|
| 26 | user closes his session. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | Installation : |
|---|
| 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 | You MUST pass the list of hostnames or IP addresses from which |
|---|
| 41 | PyKotIcon should accept incoming connexions on pykoticon's |
|---|
| 42 | command line. Connexions from localhost are always accepted. |
|---|
| 43 | If you use PyKotIcon with PyKota, you'll want to pass the |
|---|
| 44 | hostnames or IP addresses of ALL print servers on pykoticon's |
|---|
| 45 | command line. |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | NB : `pykoticon --help` will give you hints about the expected |
|---|
| 48 | command line parameters. |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | * MS Windows : |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | Download pykoticon-x.yy.zip from |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | http://www.pykota.com/software/pykoticon/download/tarballs/ |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | Unzip it into a directory of its own. I usually unzip it into |
|---|
| 57 | /var/lib/samba/netlogon/pykoticon/ |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | Modify the PYKOTICON.VBS file to include the list of authorized |
|---|
| 60 | print servers and change other parameters as needed, as explained |
|---|
| 61 | in the GNU/Linux section above. |
|---|
| 62 | |
|---|
| 63 | Ensure that PYKOTICON.VBS is executed each time an user logs |
|---|
| 64 | in. The easiest way to do this is in STARTUP.CMD : |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | --- CUT --- |
|---|
| 67 | SET PATH=%PATH%;\\MYSERVER\NETLOGON\PYKOTICON\ |
|---|
| 68 | \\MYSERVER\NETLOGON\PYKOTICON\PYKOTICON.VBS |
|---|
| 69 | --- CUT --- |
|---|
| 70 | |
|---|
| 71 | NB : if you launch PYKOTICON.EXE directly instead of from |
|---|
| 72 | PYKOTICON.VBS, a small but disturbing window may appear on |
|---|
| 73 | the screen. |
|---|
| 74 | |
