Windows Network Printers for Printing—SMB
ThinOS Lite can print to printers that are shared by Microsoft print servers. There are some conguration requirements that need to be
considered while conguring SMB printing from ThinOS Lite which may require changes to your zero client setup.
Since connecting to a Microsoft Windows Print Server requires domain credentials, you must provide the credentials to ThinOS Lite either
on demand as the printer is used or by administrator setup providing credentials cached from the Dell Wyse login screen ,see "Example 3:
Dening an SMB Printer to Use User Credentials Cached by ThinOS Lite (Advanced)". This section will discuss both methods.
