13 Examples of common printing configurations This appendix provides examples on using the Printer Setup dialog box and ThinOS INI parameters for common printing situations. Use these general guidelines in addition to the information provided in the Configuring the Printer Setup section. NOTE: Host-based printers are not supported. Topics: • Printing to local USB or parallel printers • Printing to non-Windows network printers • Printing to Windows network printers • Using your thin client as a print server • Configuring ThinPrint Printing to local USB or parallel printers You can print to locally attached printers through USB or parallel ports. NOTE: Microsoft Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH), Microsoft Terminal Services, and Citrix XenApp each have their own printing policies that must be configured properly to allow client side printing. For details on configuring printing in these environments, see your vendor instructions. Using the Printer Setup dialog box for local USB or parallel printers In this example you have an HP LaserJet 4000 attached to a thin client USB port. When connecting USB printers, some printers fill out the Printer Name and Printer Identification fields for you. To Configure the Printer to print locally attached printers through USB or Parallel ports. 1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Printer. The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed. 2. Click Printer Setup, and use the following guidelines for the Ports tab when printing to a local USB printer: a) Select Port - Select LPT1 or LPT2 port. b) Printer Name - Enter name you want displayed in your list of printers, most USB direct-connected printers report/fill in their printer name automatically. c) Printer Identification - Enter the type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name - including capitalizations and spaces most USB direct-connected printers report/fill in their printer identifications automatically. In our example case, enter HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL. d) Printer Class - You can leave this as default. e) Enable the printer device - Must be selected to enable the directly connected printer enables the device so it displays on the remote host. 3. Click OK to save the settings. Using INI parameters for local USB or parallel printers Configuring local printing using ThinOS INI parameters is simple and an easy way to configure a printer for all clients in your environment assuming every printer is the same. Your INI parameters will look something like the following: Printer=LPT1 \ Name="HP LaserJet 4000" \ Examples of common printing configurations 141
