The NeoLinux Print Manager utility allows the administrator to define printers in the local thin client device. Once defined, local printers can be used by software running in the thin client (such as TeemTalk and Netscape Navigator), can be used by network resources (servers or other devices printing using lpd for remote printing), and can be used by Windows servers through ICA and RDP connections. Since the Print Manager utility saves the configuration settings in the NeoLinux registry, printers can be defined on one thin client and those settings can be copied and cloned to other thin clients running NeoLinux (Rel. 3.0 or later). Using ezRemote Manager or ezUpdate, configurations are easily duplicated from one device to hundreds or thousands of others.

CHAPTER 13
Using the NeoLinux Print
Manager utility
This chapter explains how to use the NeoLinux Print Manager util-
ity to create printers and manage local print jobs.
Getting Started
Overview
The NeoLinux Print Manager utility allows the administrator to
define printers in the local thin client device. Once defined, local
printers can be used by software running in the thin client (such as
TeemTalk and Netscape Navigator), can be used by network
resources (servers or other devices printing using
lpd
for remote
printing), and can be used by Windows servers through ICA and
RDP connections.
Since the Print Manager utility saves the configuration settings in
the NeoLinux registry, printers can be defined on one thin client
and those settings can be copied and cloned to other thin clients
running NeoLinux (Rel. 3.0 or later). Using ezRemote Manager or
ezUpdate, configurations are easily duplicated from one device to
hundreds or thousands of others.
When used in a secured, production environment, unauthorized end
users cannot change printer configurations, but can access the Print
Queue Manager in order to trouble-shoot any printing problems.
