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 Identication—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 specied, the name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identication 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 prole (wnos.ini) or
by MetaFrame servers through the MetaFrame printer conguration 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.
This name can be dierent for each vendor. This eld is required and must be correct so that the network printer accepts
incoming print jobs properly. For example, auto can be used for HP LaserJet 4200n PCL6 as per documentation found on
the HP Web site.
NOTE: If the printer is attached to another thin client on your network, the LPD Queue Name must match the
content of the Printer Name box on the thin client with the printer attached.
f. Printer Class — (Optional) Select the printer class from the list.
