Use the following guidelines:

Select LPD - Select the port you want from the list.

LPD Hosts - The DNS or WINS name of the server for the network printer. An IP address 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.

Note

The LPD Queue Name must match the content of the Printer Name box on the thin client with the printer attached.

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 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
