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.
NOTE: 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.
Using the Printer Setup dialog box for configuring LPD
services
From the Classic desktop mode only, a thin client can be configured to provide LPD (Line Printer Daemon) services making the thin client
a printer server on the network. Set up the thin client that is to provide LPD print services as follows:
To configure LPD services using the Printer Setup dialog box.
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Network Setup to open the Network Setup dialog box.
2. Enter a static IP address for the thin client.
3. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Printer to open the Printer Setup dialog box and select any of the listed ports.
4. Select a LPT.
5. Name the printer in the Printer Name box.
6. Enter the Printer Identification type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name — including
capitalizations and spaces. In our example case, enter HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL.
7. You can leave Printer Class as default.
8. Select Enable the Printer Device.
