Advanced Configuration
LPR/LPD
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) printing allows a printer connected to the thin client to be used through any
server that can print using the LPR/LPD protocol (UNIX, Linux, Windows, mainframes, etc.). This
TCP/IP printing protocol is widely used because of it’s simplicity of configuration and use.
Enable LPR/LPD Printing: Check this box to enable LPD printing.
Que Name: Enter a name that will be used to identify this LPD printer session when the LPR host
(such as the UNIX server) is being set up to send print jobs to the printer attached to the thin client.
Printer Port: Select from the drop down box the physical port that the printer is attached to.
Baud Rate: If COM1 is selected as the printer port, this drop down box will become active allowing
you to select the baud rate used to communicate with the serial printer.
Print Header Page: Check this box to have the header page printed at the beginning of each
LPR/LPD print job.
Print Trailer Page: Check this box to have the trailer page printer at the end of each LPR/LPD
print job.
Supress Blank Page: Check this box to eliminate the blank page that often occurs at the end of
the LPR/LPD print job (and after the trailer page if enabled).
When configuring the LPR host (such as the UNIX server or even another Windows PC), two pieces of
information will be required: 1) the IP address of the Thin Client (which can be found on the Network
Status | IPconfig option) and 2) the Que Name (sometimes referred to as the printer port or printer
name).
