Using INI parameters for Windows network printers
Configuring SMB printing using ThinOS INI parameters is simple and an easy way to configure printers shared by a Windows
server for all clients in your environment. The primary advantage of configuring SMB printing using ThinOS INI parameters
is that you can pre-define the domain account to use to authenticate the printer. The following examples discuss how the
credentials can be supplied.
1. Defining an SMB printer with generic user credentials in plain text
Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username=Username1 \
Password=Password \
Domain=contoso
2. Defining an SMB printer with generic user credentials that are encrypted
Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username-enc=PACGOGDBPKDOPGDGKC \
Password-enc=PFDBOHDBODCJPODP \
Domain=contoso
NOTE:
You can use the Configuration Generator (ConfGen) tool to create INI parameters for ThinOS. ConfGen can be
downloaded from technicalhelp.de.. This is a non-supported tool that is linked solely for the purpose of this example.
3. Defining an SMB printer to use user credentials cached by ThinOS (advanced)
NOTE:
This method requires that the user log in to ThinOS so that the credentials can be cached for later use. The example
INI section provided below provides the minimum requirements you need.
Signon=NTLM
Connect=RDP \
Host=1.2.3.4 \
Username=$UN \
Password=$PW \
Domain=$DN \
AutoConnect=1
Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username=$UN \
Password=$PW \
Domain=$DN
Using your thin client as a print server
ThinOS thin client can be configured as a basic network print server, to share local printers with other thin clients.
