Illus. 15 Connection Service: created printers on the central print server

Application server/host system

The application servers send their print jobs to the printers installed on a central print

server. To print to these shares in a pure Windows environment, the terminal servers

(or desktops) only need to establish a connection to these shares. In contrast, for all

constellations in which non-windows servers are in use, you use the LPR/LPD print

protocol.

Example

AutoConnect can automate the creation of printers when opening a session with a

Windows machine. AutoConnect automatically creates printer connections (Illus. 17)

to the printers on the central print server (Illus. 15) for the duration of the session.

To do so, AutoConnect must be installed on each participating machine, as for

example on terminal servers. Use ThinPrint Terminal Server Extension for the instal-

lation of AutoConnect on Remote Desktop Session Hosts. This Extension is an option

in the Engine installation wizard. For desktops, use Desktop Extension.

Then enter the share from the central print server (here: HP Color LaserJet 3600

and Lexmark T644) into the AutoConnect configuration on the terminal server under

AP ADDITIONAL PRINTERS (Illus. 16).
