2. Click the Ports tab, and use the following guidelines:
a. Select Port— Select the required port from the list. LPT1 or LPT2 are directly connected to the 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 that are using LPR to print to this printer.
c. Printer Identification — Enter the printer name and model in the Windows printer driver name—including
capitalization 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. The printer name is used to identify standard direct-connected USB printers or Generic /
Text Only for non-USB connected printers on 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
txt file and type the content, such as "HP Color" = "HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP PCL6 Class
Driver". Add the command line printermap=printer.txt to your wnos.ini file. Now, you can type “HP
Color” in the Printer Identification field instead of the full driver string.
d. Printer Class— This is optional. Select the printer class from the list.
e. Enable the printer device — Select this option to enable the directly-connected printer. It enables remote host to
display the device.
f. Enable LPD service for the printer — Select this to make the thin client. Write the spelled out for first, with
abbreviation in parentheses.
NOTE:
If the thin client is to be used as an LPD printer server, DHCP must not be used and a static IP address must be
assigned to the client.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
Configuring the LPD 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 from Line Printer Request.
a. Select LPD —Select the required port from the list.
b. Printer Name —(Required) Enter the name of the printer that is displayed on the Windows printer driver.
c. Printer Identification—Enter the name of the printer exactly as it appears on the Windows printer driver.
In an MS Windows system, this name is either the device driver name of the printer or a key to map the printer to
the device driver. The name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identification for standard direct-connected USB
printers or Generic / Text for non-USB connected printers on 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).
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.
