Configuring the printer settings
Use the Printer Setup dialog box to configure network printers and local printers that are connected to the thin client. Through
its USB ports, a thin client can support multiple printers. If more than one printer is to be used and another port is not available
on your thin client and the port that is to be used must be shared with a USB modem converter, connect a USB hub to the port.
Configuring the ports settings
To configure the ports settings:
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Ports tab, and use the following guidelines:
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
