Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.5 Administrator’s Guide

Using INI parameters for Windows network printers

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

Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username=Username1 \
Password=Password \
Domain=contoso

2. Defining an SMB printer with generic user credentials that are encrypted

Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username-enc=PACGOGDBPKDOPGDGKC \
Password-enc=PFDBOHDBODCJPODP \
Domain=contoso

NOTE:In order to create the encrypted passwords for use in an INI file you will want to use a program such as ConfGen. This application has built in support for creating the encrypted strings. ConfGen can be downloaded from technicalhelp.de/

NOTE: 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.

Signon=NTLM

Connect=RDP \
Host=1.2.3.4 \
Username=$UN \
Password=$PW \
Domain=$DN \
AutoConnect=1

Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username=$UN \
Password=$PW \
Domain=$DN
