a) Select Port—Select the port you want from the list. LPT1 or LPT2 selects the connection to a direct-connected 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 using LPR to print to this printer.
c) Printer Identification—Enter the type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name—including
capitalizations 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. If not specified, the name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identification for standard direct-connected USB
printers or Generic / Text Only for non-USB connected printers upon 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).
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.
