Administrator Guide

a Select Port— Select the port you want from the list. LPT1 or LPT2 selects the connection to a direct-connected USB printer.
b Printer Name — (Required) Enter name you want displayed in your list of printers.
most USB direct-connected printers report/ll in their printer name automatically.
NOTE: If Enable LPD service for the printer is selected, the printer name becomes the queue name for other
clients using LPR to print to this printer.
c Printer Identication — Enter the type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name—including
capitalizations and spaces, most USB direct-connected printers report/ll in their printer identications automatically.
This entry 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 specied, the name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identication for standard direct-connected USB
printers or Generic / Text Only for non-USB connected printers upon connection to Windows hosts. The driver name mapping
takes place either through a printer-mapping le read by the system as part of the global prole (wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame
servers through the MetaFrame printer conguration le (\winnt\system32\wtsprnt.inf).
NOTE: The maximum characters allowed in the Printer Identication eld is 31. If your printer driver string is
more than 31 characters (including space), you can create a txt le (printer.txt) and upload to your le
server. Edit the txt le and type the content, such as "HP Color" = "HP Color LaserJet CM1312
MFP PCL6 Class Driver". Add the command line printermap=printer.txt to your wnos.ini le.
Now, you can type
“HP Color” in the Printer Identication eld instead of the full driver string.
d Printer Class— This is optional. Select the printer class from the list PCL5, PS, or TXT or PCL4.
e Enable the printer device — Select this option to enable the directly-connected printer. It enables the device to display on the
remote host.
f Enable LPD service for the printer — Select this to make the thin client an LPD (Line Printer Daemon) network print server for
LPR printing requests from the network.
NOTE
:
If the thin client is to be used as an LPD printer server, DHCP must not be used and a static IP address must be
assigned to the client, see Conguring the Network Settings.
