Using Your Thin Client as a Print Server (LPD)
A ThinOS thin client can be congured as a basic network print server, to share local printers with other thin clients.
Using the Printer Setup Dialog Box for Conguring LPD
Services
From the Classic Desktop mode only, a thin client can be congured to provide LPD (Line Printer Daemon) services making the thin client a
printer server on the network. Set up the thin client that is to provide LPD print services as follows:
To congure LPD Services using the Printer Setup Dialog Box.
1 From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Network Setup to open the Network Setup dialog box.
2 Enter a static IP address for the thin client.
3 From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Printer to open the Printer Setup dialog box and select any of the listed ports.
4 Select a LPT.
5 Name the printer in the Printer Name box.
6 Enter the Printer Identication type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name — including
capitalizations and spaces. In our example case, enter HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL.
7 You can leave Printer Class as default.
8 Select Enable the Printer Device.
9 Select Enable LPD service for the printer.
