- Frequently asked questions
a. Select SMB—Select the SMB you want from the list.
b. Printer Name—(Required) Enter the name to be 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. \\Host\Printer—Enter the Host\Printer or use the browse folder icon next to the box to browse your Microsoft
Networks and make the printer selection you want from the network printers available (the DNS name or IP address of
the Windows print server on the network).
e. Printer Class —(Optional) Select the printer class from the list.
f. Enable the printer device—Must be selected to enable the printer. It enables the device so it displays on the remote
host.
g. 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, see Using Your Thin Client as a Print Server (LPD).
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 thin client as described in Configuring the Network Settings.
