About the Add-on
Known Issues and Workarounds:
• ThinPrint does not work after setting up a printer using a thin client without a built-in
LPT port. As a workaround, reboot the thin client to enable ThinPrint again.
• Some edit controls in the ThinPrint set-up dialog do not have assigned hotkeys and tab
commands.
• An invalid value for Device Write Timeout field is saved.

Notable Features
Wyse ThinPrint TCP/IP 5.5 includes the following notable features:
• Driver support to enable ThinPrint printing.
• User interface to enable or disable the ThinPrint driver.
• Easy to use interfaces - User interfaces provide everything necessary for configuring
printers and ports.
• Improved performance - The ThinPrint client receives print data from the server,
decompresses it, and sends it to the print device.
• ThinPrint AutoConnect - Automatically creates client printer objects on the Terminal
Server when the session is opened.
• Efficiency within firewalls - Provides more efficiency for devices within firewalls.
Requirements and Recommendations
Wyse ThinPrint TCP/IP 5.5 requirements and recommendations include the following:
• When printing through a USB port, the Wyse JETCET Add-on (version 3.01) build 18
or later must be installed.
• ThinPrint .print Server Engine software (build 5.5 or later) must be installed on the
server.
Important Feature Information
This section provides important information on the following features:
• Printing over TCP/IP - Session users communicate with the Terminal Server over the
Citrix protocol ICA or the Microsoft protocol RDP. With ThinPrint .print they are able to
print over TCP/IP in every case. The print jobs are sent outside the thin client session
directly to the client or network printer (separation of the data stream). This improves
print performance since available bandwidth can be better used. Moreover, each user
can use all the printers in the network which are reachable over TCP/IP - regardless of
the type of client that is used (printing over TCP/IP to clients in masked networks,
however, is not supported).
• ThinPrint AutoConnect - ThinPrint AutoConnect is the .print tool for
automatically-created printers. The tool automatically creates client printer objects on
the Terminal Server when the session is opened.
