Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.5 Administrator’s Guide

Printing to non-Windows network printers

ThinOS can print to non-Windows network printers as long as the printers can accept LPR print requests. Most workgroup printers and large network printers have this capability be sure to check with your vendor that the printer can accept Line Printer Request print requests.

Once your thin client is configured to print to an LPR capable printer, the client will then redirect this printer through an RDP or ICA connection to your back end infrastructure. In this way the client will connect to your back end infrastructure and this network printer will appear as a client local printer.
