- Frequently asked questions
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/fill 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 Identification — 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/fill in their printer identifications
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 specified, the name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identification 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 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).
NOTE:
The maximum characters allowed in the Printer Identification field is 31. If your printer driver string is more
than 31 characters (including space), you can create a txt file (printer.txt) and upload to your file server. Edit the
txt file 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 file. Now, you can type “HP
Color” in the Printer Identification field 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 Configuring the Network Settings.
