Using the
Printer Setup dialog box for non-Windows network printers
To configure
the Printer Setup dialog box for Non-Windows Network Printers
(LPD).
From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog box
is displayed.
In this example we have an HP LaserJet
4200n attached to a thin client through LPR.
Click the LPDs tab and use the following
guidelines when printing to a non-Windows network printer:
Select LPD — Select LPD1 or LPD2
port.
Printer Name — Enter name you want
displayed in your list of printers.
Printer Identification — Enter the
type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer
driver name — including capitalizations and spaces.
In this example, enter HP LaserJet 4200n PCL6.
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 as we have used in our case example.
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 used. This name can be different for each
vendor. This field is required and must be correct so that the network
printer accepts incoming print jobs properly. In our case example, auto can be used for HP LaserJet 4200n PCL6 as per documentation
found on the HP website.
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
on the thin client with the printer attached.
Printer Class —You can leave this
as default.
Enable the printer device — Must
be selected to enable the printer enables the device so it displays
on the remote host.
