Configuring Thin Client Settings Locally
Use the following guidelines for the LPDs tab when printing to a non-Windows network
printer (be sure to check with your vendor that the printer can accept Line Printer
Request print requests):
Select LPD - Select the port you want from the list.
•
Printer Name - (Required) Enter name you want displayed in your list of printers.
•
Printer Identification - 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 specified, the name will be
defaulted to the printer-supplied identification 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 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).
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.
NOTE: 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.
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 different for each vendor. This is field 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.
Printer Class - (Optional) Select the printer class from the list.
•
Enable the printer device - Must be selected to enable the printer (enables the
•
device so it displays on the remote host).
