Configuring SMB printing using ThinOS INI parameters is simple and an easy way to configure printers shared by a Windows server for all clients in your environment. The primary advantage of configuring SMB printing using ThinOS INI parameters is that you can pre-define the domain account to use to authenticate the printer. The following examples discuss how the credentials can be supplied.
1. Defining an SMB printer with generic user credentials in plain text
NOTE: : You can use the Configuration Generator (ConfGen) tool to create INI parameters for ThinOS. ConfGen can be downloaded from
technicalhelp.de.
Important: This is a non-supported tool that is linked solely for the purpose of this example.
3. Defining an SMB printer to use user credentials cached by ThinOS (advanced)
NOTE: : This method requires that the user log in to ThinOS so that the credentials can be cached for later use. The example INI section provided below provides the minimum requirements you need.
