10.2.4 Citrix Client Printer auto creation Advantages: • • Included in Citrix MetaFrame Printer mapping available with dynamic IP-addresses available Disadvantages: • A printer cannot be used by more than one user • Citrix Metaframe XP FR1 required To take advantage of Citrix Client Printer Creation you need to select the desired printer in the control-centre of THINTUNE (Connections -> ICA Client -> General Settings Printer). 10.2.
Connect to your Terminal server an enter a new network-printer. As a port you select the THIN Print Port entry. Enter a printer-name. This name initially needs to include the IP-address of your THINTUNE client. This is followed by the number of the desired printer-port (for parallel-port 1). This is followed by a “#” and the name of the printer. An example for a completed entry would be: 192.168.1.172:1#HP-LaseJet-6.
Close the wizzard and print a test page ) Information ThinPrint is a commercial product which is to optimize print-jobs in SBC environments. 10.2.6 Printer Classes and Auto Connect with Thin Print Thin Print operated with THINTUNE alternatively offers you to dynamically create printers once a users loggs in. To do so you initially need to create printer classes where a class is a subset of printers which are controlled by the same printer driver (e.g. HP LaserJet).
Following the procedure above you now should have created two printer objects. With this example you created the class HPLaser and the printer 6L. Next step is to accordingly configure the built-in ThinPrint Client of your THINTUNE Thin Client: After you issued the TPAutoConnect.
10.3 Ports and Firewalls To ensure THINTUNE communications to the firmware server and/or the management server beyond any routers of firewalls you might need to have access to some special TCP/IP ports. This is a list of ports which might be needed.
Please make sure that „enable comX portmapping“ is checked. Now either configure the terminal emulation or the Telnet Client. To be independent from the IP-address of the terminal set the THINTUNE-IP to its loopback address which is 127.0.0.1. As the port address either choose 9101 or that port number which is configured in the portmapper. 10.
Please install the TFTP-server, create a top-level directory which shall be configured in the TFTP-server. In this directory create a subdirectory and name it tftpboot. Copy both rescue files to the tftpboot directory. Next step is to accordingly configure your DHCP-server. It is important to configure the IP-address of the TFTPserver (DHCP option 66 Boot Server Host name and DHCP option 67 Boot File Name). Do not enter any name; it is enough to provide the according text-field.
DHCP server. Thus you are enabled to load a rescue system from the TFTP server. This lets you update your firmware.
