Dell ThinOS 2402 Administrator’s Guide

Configure the ports settings

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Printer.
   The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Ports tab, and do the following:

   

   1. Select Port—Select a port from the drop-down list. Selecting LPT1 or LPT2 sets the connection to a direct-connected USB printer. If you are using the Wyse 5070 Extended Thin Client, select LPT2 for the USB printer.
      NOTE:For Wyse 5070 extended thin client with parallel port option installed, if there is LPT1 printer settings that are configured on Wyse Management Suite or the local UI, then it cannot be removed again.
   2. Printer Name—(Required) Enter the name of the printer.
      NOTE: If Enable LPD service for the printer is selected, the printer name becomes the queue name for other clients using LPR to print to this printer.
   3. Printer Identification—(Required) Enter the type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name—including capitalizations and spaces.

      Printer mapping in a Citrix session on ThinOS uses Citrix UPD (Universal Printer Driver). You can enter any string in the Printer Identification field.

   4. Printer Class—Select the printer class from the drop-down list as PS.
   5. Enable the printer device—Select this option to enable the directly connected printer. It enables the device to be displayed on the remote host.
   6. Enable LPD service for the printer—Select this option to make the thin client an LPD (Line Printer Daemon) network print server for LPR printing requests from the network.
      NOTE:If you want to use thin client as an LPD printer server, DHCP must not be used and a static IP address must be assigned to the client. See Configuring the network settings for more information.
      NOTE:If you are configuring Enable LPD service for the printer from the local Printer Setup window, restart the client for the LPD service to work in VDI sessions. If you are configuring from the Wyse Management Suite policy, you need not restart.
3. Click OK to save your settings.
