Dell Wyse 5070 Thin Client User Guide

Configuring the LPD settings

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
   The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the LPDs tab, and use the following guidelines when printing to a non-Windows network printer:
   NOTE Be sure to check with your vendor that the printer can accept from Line Printer Request.
   1. Select LPD —Select the required port from the list.
   2. Printer Name —(Required) Enter the name of the printer that is displayed on the Windows printer driver.
   3. Printer Identification—Enter the name of the printer exactly as it appears on the Windows printer driver.

      In an MS Windows system, this name is either the device driver name of the printer or a key to map the printer to the device driver. The name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identification for standard direct-connected USB printers or Generic / Text for non-USB connected printers on 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 profile (wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame servers through the MetaFrame printer configuration file (\winnt\system32\wtsprnt.inf).

   4. LPD Hosts—The DNS or WINS name of the server for the network printer. An IP address of the printer on the network can also be entered.

      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.

   5. 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.

      This name can be different for each vendor. This is a required field, and you must ensure to add the correct queue name, as the network printer uses this name for mapping the incoming print jobs. For example, auto can be used for HP LaserJet 4200n PCL6 as per documentation found on the HP Web site.

      NOTE If the printer is attached to another thin client on your network, the LPD Queue Name must match the content of the Printer Name box displayed on the thin client.
   6. Printer Class — (Optional) Select the printer class from the list.
   7. Enable the printer device — Select this option to enable the printer on a remote device.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
