Printing To Network-Attached Printers - HP 2533t - Compaq Mobile Thin Client Printing Manual

2. If the printer is not supported locally-attached, it won't be installed automatically and the
"New Hardware Found" wizard will pop-up. The user may still go through and manually
assign the driver named "HP Universal Printing for Thin Clients" to this printer, however
printers that are not supported locally-attached have not been tested and asserted to work
under these circumstances and may work incorrectly or not at all. For the detailed procedure
to use the wizard to install this printer refer to appendix B of this document.
Enhanced Write Filter: if the EWF is active, all changes made to the system that are not committed
are lost in the next reboot of the machine. Because of this, if the thin client is restarted, the same
hardware detection and configuration steps will take place again, provided the printer is left
connected and powered-up. In the first scenario above this will cause only a minor inconvenience to
the user, in which the printer will always take a little while to be ready for printing after a reboot.
However, in the second scenario, if an unsupported printer has been tested and is indeed working
fine locally-attached, not committing the EWF means having to go through the "Found New
Hardware" wizard steps after each reboot. In both cases the recommended action would be to
commit the changes to the configuration after it was ensured that everything is working as expected.
This can be done by an administrator or help desk personnel using a management suite, or by the
end-users themselves. The appendix C of this document discusses a couple of options for allowing
end-users to commit changes to the EWF.

Printing to network-attached printers

Printing to network-attached printers can be accomplished by using the dynamic print queue (the HP
Universal Print Driver for Thin Client queue). It is just a matter of finding the printer either by selecting
"Enter a Printer Address", "Search for Network Printers" or "Search for Printer Shares" on the UI, as
depicted below:
UPD Search for Network Printers interface
Once a printer is found and selected, the user can mark the checkbox titled "Add this printer to my
Printers and Faxes folder" on the dynamic UI in order to have a permanent instance of that printer
added to that folder, making it easier to select the same printer again in a future time.
