Conguring the LPDs Settings
To congure the LPDs Settings:
1 From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
2 Click the LPDs tab, and use the following guidelines when printing to a non-Windows network printer:
NOTE: Be sure to check with your vendor that the printer can accept Line Printer Request print requests.
a Select LPD —Select the port you want from the list.
b Printer Name —(Required) Enter name you want displayed in your list of printers.
c Printer Identication—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 specied, the name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identication 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 le read by the system as part of the global prole (wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame servers
through the MetaFrame printer conguration le (\winnt\system32\wtsprnt.inf).
d LPD Hosts—The DNS or WINS name of the server for the network printer. An IP address of the printer on the network can also
be entered.
If the printer is attached to another thin client on your network, the entry in the LPD Hosts box is the name or address of that
thin client.
e LPD Queue Name — An LPD host maintains a named queue for each supported printer. Enter the name of the queue
associated with the printer to be used.
