To configure the ThinPrint, use the following guidelines:
● Use the Printer Identification field to enter a printer class (you can change the printer name as needed).
● Printer IDs are assigned (depending on the physical port) as follows:
○ COM1 = 1
○ COM2 = 2
○ LPT1 = 3 — USB printers are detected automatically on LPT1
○ LPT2 = 4
○ LPD0 = 5– The LPD Queue name is transmitted as the printer name; the Printer Identification as class
○ LPD1 = 6 — The LPD Queue name is transmitted as the printer name; the Printer Identification as class
○ LPD2 = 7 — The LPD Queue name is transmitted as the printer name; the Printer Identification as class
○ LPD3 = 8 — The LPD Queue name is transmitted as the printer name; the Printer Identification as class
○ SMB1 = 9 — In the form \\host\printershare
○ SMB2 = 10
○ SMB3 = 11
○ SMB4 = 12
To install the relevant ThinPrint product on the server use the following guidelines:
● Printer Objects Created Manually by the Administrator — After you install.print Engine, create a printer object on the
server to use the native driver and ThinPort as a printer port. You can use any protocol (TCP, RDP or ICA) because ThinOS
has.print clients for all of the protocols. The printer object needs to observe ThinPrint naming conventions, for example,
HPLJ5#_:2, in which case print jobs are sent to the local printer that has ID number .2 by referring to.print client port ID. If
no ID number is present, the.print client sends the print job to the printer set as current.
● Printer Objects Created Automatically by ThinPrint AutoConnect — When using ThinPrint AutoConnect, the thin
client identifies with the thin client ID number 84 and thus is recognized as a thin client without a local spooler. You can also
set up a template on the server that uses a native driver example, HPLJ5) and ThinPort, and then name this template as you
want in the form _#AnyName.
You can then make sure that the rules on ThinPrint Autoconnect [1] have been set to assign the desired local printers to
use this server template. The assigned printer will then be shown in the user session using the HPLJ5 driver and ThinPort;
it is named automatically according to ThinPrint naming convention with the printer name from the client side included.
Alternatively, you can also define a template name according to the client printer name (replace.AnyName. with printer name
4. and 5. above for example, _#HP Laserjet 5 so that the local printer object.HP Laserjet 5. is mapped to this template
without any rules defined on the ThinPrint Autoconnect.
