Setting Up Windows 2003/2008 Servers
To Congure Setting the Windows 2003/2008 Servers
1 Navigate to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services and ensure the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing service is installed. If it is not,
install it using the Microsoft installation instructions.
2 Add the thin client as the LPD printer by completing the following:
a Navigate to Control Panel > Printers > Add Printers > Local Printer > Create a new port and select LPR PORT.
NOTE: If you do not see LPR Port, ensure that the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing service is installed correctly.
b Type the thin client IP address or DNS name in the Name or address of host providing LPD box.
c Type the printer name assigned in Using the Printer Setup Dialog Box for Conguring LPD Services in the Name of printer on
that machine box.
d Click OK, and then click NEXT.
3 After you have selected the printer, you can perform your normal printer setup for the application server. For example, select the
manufacturer printer type and printer name.
Using INI Parameters for Conguring LPD Services
Conguring LPD printing using ThinOS INI parameters is simple and an easy way to congure a ThinOS thin client to be a basic network
print server, to share local printers with other thin clients.
Your INI parameters will look something like the following:
Printer=LPT1 \
Name="HP LaserJet 4000" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
EnableLPD=yes
NOTE
: The PrinterID is the exact text of the Windows printer driver name, so if a printer driver is named HP LaserJet 4000
Series PCL in Windows, then it must be exactly the same in the PrinterID eld in the INI parameters including capitalizations and
spaces.
Conguring ThinPrint
No ThinPrint specic conguration is available on the thin clients. Thus to be able to use ThinPrint, users must rst set up their printers
according to the user documentation, and then congure ThinPrint on the thin client using the Printer Setup dialog box.
To congure the ThinPrint, use the following guidelines:
• Use the Printer Identication eld 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 Identication as class
• LPD1 = 6 — The LPD Queue name is transmitted as the printer name; the Printer Identication as class
• LPD2 = 7 — The LPD Queue name is transmitted as the printer name; the Printer Identication as class
