Configuring the LPDs settings
To configure the LPDs settings:
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the LPDs tab, and use the following guidelines when printing to a non-Windows network printer:
NOTE: Be sure to check with your vendor that the printer can accept Line Printer Request print requests.
a. Select LPD —Select the port you want from the list.
b. Printer Name —(Required) Enter name you want displayed in your list of printers.
c. Printer Identification—Enter the type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name—
including capitalizations and spaces.
This name must be either the device driver name for the printer under the Microsoft Windows system, or a key to map
to the device driver. If not specified, the name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identification for standard direct-
connected USB printers or Generic / Text for non-USB connected printers upon connection to Windows hosts. The
driver name mapping takes place either through a printer-mapping file read by the system as part of the global profile
(wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame servers through the MetaFrame printer configuration file (\winnt\system32\wtsprnt.inf).
d. LPD Hosts—The DNS or WINS name of the server for the network printer. An IP address of the printer on the network
can also be entered.
If the printer is attached to another thin client on your network, the entry in the LPD Hosts box is the name or address of
that thin client.
e. LPD Queue Name—An LPD host maintains a named queue for each supported printer. Enter the name of the queue
associated with the printer to be used.
This name can be different for each vendor. This field is required and must be correct so that the network printer
accepts incoming print jobs properly. For example, auto can be used for HP LaserJet 4200n PCL6 as per documentation
found on the HP Web site.
