Figure 25 Printer Setup - LPDs tab
Use the following guidelines:
• Select LPD - Select th
e port you want from the list.
• Printer Name -
Enter the printer name.
• Printer Identification -
Enter the type or model of the printer. This name should 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 specified, the name will be defaulted to the
printer-supplied identification for standard direct-connected USB printers or Generic /
Text for non-USB or serial-connected printers upon connection to Windows hosts. The
driver name mapping takes place either through a printer-mapping file read by the
system as part of the Global system profile (wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame servers through
the MetaFrame printer configuration file (\winnt\system32\wtsprnt.inf).
In an ICA environment, it is recommended that a
dministrators use the wtsprnt.inf file to
define printer driver mapping to maintain the consistency of usage from various ICA
client devices. In an RDP environment, administrators should use the wnos.ini file to
define printer driver mapping. If there is no mapping file, or if the mapping entry for the
printer is not found, the identification must be a supported driver name on the
connected hosts for the printer to be automatically created on the hosts.
• LPD Ho
sts - The DNS or WINS name of the server for the network printer. An IP
address can also be entered.
Note
If the printer is attached to another thin client on your network, the entry in
the LPD Hosts box is the name or address of that thin client.
• LPD Queue Name - An LPD host maintains a named queue for each supported
printer. Enter the name of the queue associated with the printer to be used.
Note
The LPD Queue Name must match the content of the Printer Name box on
the thin client with the printer attached.
• Printer Class - Select the printer class from the list.
• En
able the printer device - Must be selected to enable the directly-connected printer.
