Setting Up the Thin Client

37

Use the following guidelines:

•Select Port - Select the port you want from the list.

•Printer Name - This is a required entry. 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.

•Printer Identification - Enter the type or model of the printer. This name should 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 or serial-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 system profile (wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame servers through the MetaFrame printer configuration file (\winnt\system32\wtsprnt.inf).

Note

Most USB direct-connected printers or parallel printers connected through USB-to-parallel cable converters do report their printer identifications. Port LPT1 or LPT2 selects the connection to a USB printer or parallel printer through a USB-to-Parallel cable. Port COM1 or COM2 selects the connection to a serial device through a USB-to-Serial cable.

In an ICA environment, it is recommended that administrators use the wtsprnt.inf file to define printer driver mapping to maintain the consistency of usage from various ICA client devices. In an RDP environment, administrators should use the wnos.ini file to define printer driver mapping. If there is no mapping file, or if the mapping entry for the printer is not found, the identification must be a supported driver name on the connected hosts for the printer to be automatically created on the hosts.

•Printer Class - Select the printer class from the list.

•Enable the printer device - This must be selected to enable the directly-connected printer.

•Enable LPD service for the printer - Select this to make the thin client an LPD (Line Printer Daemon) server for LPD printing requests from the network (see “Configuring LPD Services” ).

Note

If the thin client is to be used as an LPD printer server, DHCP must not be used and a static IP address must be assigned to the thin client (see “Configuring Network Settings” for more details).
