Administrator Guide

NOTE: When the LPD printer is mapped to one session and you cannot access the LPD service host, then the TCP
connection tries to connect to the LPD service host. The timeout period is 60 seconds. During this timeout period, if
you try to close the session, the session waits until the LPD printer connection is established. The initialization failure
logs are displayed.
Conguring the SMBs settings
To congure the SMBs settings:
1 From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
2 Click SMBs tab, and use the following guidelines when printing to a Windows network printer.
a Select SMB—Select the SMB you want from the list.
b Printer Name—(Required) Enter the name to be displayed in your list of printers.
c Printer Identication—Enter the type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name—including
capitalizations and spaces.
This name must 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 specied, the name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identication for standard direct-connected USB
printers or Generic / Text for non-USB connected printers upon connection to Windows hosts. The driver name mapping takes
place either through a printer-mapping le read by the system as part of the global prole (wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame servers
through the MetaFrame printer conguration le (\winnt\system32\wtsprnt.inf).
d \\Host\Printer—Enter the Host\Printer or use the browse folder icon next to the box to browse your Microsoft Networks and
make the printer selection you want from the network printers available (the DNS name or IP address of the Windows print
server on the network).
e Printer Class —(Optional) Select the printer class from the list.
f Enable the printer device—Must be selected to enable the printer. It enables the device so it displays on the remote host.
g Enable LPD service for the printer—Select this to make the thin client an LPD (Line Printer Daemon) network print server for
LPR printing requests from the network, see Using Your Thin Client as a Print Server (LPD).
