Configure the device-specific printer driver

Based on the Citrix Host Printer Policy settings, ThinOS supports device-specific printer drivers. This method allows Citrix hosts to automatically create client redirected printer queues based on the peripheral management printers settings of the ThinOS client. The host print manager uses the printer name and the printer ID to automatically create the printer queues.

1. Connect a printer to the ThinOS client.
2. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Printer.
   The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
3. On the ThinOS desktop menu, do the following:
   1. Open the Connection Manager window.
   2. Click Global Connection Settings.
   3. Go to the Session tab and select the Exclude printer devices check box.
   4. Click OK.
4. Enter the name of the printer in the Printer Name box.
5. Enter the specific printer driver identification in the Printer Identification box.
   NOTE: The specific printer driver identification is installed on the remote Citrix desktop and you must note the specific printer driver identification.
6. Select the check box to enable the printer device, and click OK.
   NOTE:In ThinOS 9.1, only printer driver type 3 is supported.
7. Start a Citrix virtual connection.
