Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.5 Administrator’s Guide

Printing to Windows network printers

ThinOS can print to printers that are shared by Microsoft print servers. There are some configuration requirements that need to be considered when configuring SMB printing from ThinOS which may require changes to your thin client setup.

Since connecting to a Microsoft Windows Print Server requires domain credentials, you must provide the credentials to ThinOS either on demand as the printer is used or by administrator setup providing credentials cached from the Dell Wyse login screen, see Example 3: Defining an SMB Printer to Use User Credentials Cached by ThinOS (Advanced) in Using INI parameters for Windows network printers (SMB). This section will discuss both methods.
