The printer port and second COM port on Maxspeed MaxStations are system- wide devices. All users logged on to that MetaFrame server can print to printers connected to these ports. These printers can also be shared across a network. Just like printer ports physically connected to a Windows NT server, only administrators can add printers connected to Maxspeed MaxStation printer ports.

Serial and printer port support is manufacturer-dependent and not a function of the DirectICA software. At present, only Maxspeed MaxStations support using these ports with DirectICA for MetaFrame.

1RWH Printer port operation does not depend on the status of the DirectICA station. The printer port is available even if the DirectICA station is disabled.
