Dell Wyse 5070 Thin Client User Guide

Configuring the ports settings

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
   The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Ports tab, and use the following guidelines:
   1. Select Port— Select the required port from the list. LPT1 or LPT2 are directly connected to the USB printer..
   2. Printer Name — (Required) Enter name you want displayed in your list of printers.
      Most USB direct-connected printers report/fill in their printer name automatically.

      NOTE If Enable LPD service for the printer is selected, the printer name becomes the queue name for other clients that are using LPR to print to this printer.
   3. Printer Identification — Enter the printer name and model in the Windows printer driver name—including capitalization and spaces, most USB direct-connected printers report/fill in their printer identifications automatically.

      This entry must be either the device driver name for the printer under the Microsoft Windows system, or a key to map to the device driver. The printer name is used to identify standard direct-connected USB printers or Generic / Text Only for non-USB connected printers on 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).

      NOTE The maximum characters allowed in the Printer Identification field is 31. If your printer driver string is more than 31 characters (including space), you can create a txt file (printer.txt) and upload to your file server. Edit the txt file and type the content, such as "HP Color" = "HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP PCL6 Class Driver". Add the command line printermap=printer.txt to your wnos.ini file. Now, you can type “HP Color” in the Printer Identification field instead of the full driver string.
   4. Printer Class— This is optional. Select the printer class from the list.
   5. Enable the printer device — Select this option to enable the directly-connected printer. It enables remote host to display the device.
   6. Enable LPD service for the printer — Select this to make the thin client. Write the spelled out for first, with abbreviation in parentheses.
      NOTE

      If the thin client is to be used as an LPD printer server, DHCP must not be used and a static IP address must be assigned to the client.

3. Click OK to save the settings.
