How to Embed the Printer
Print jobs are sent from the ThinPrint server to the TPR. After the
decompression of the print jobs, the TPR forwards the print jobs to
the printers.
The print jobs are assigned via the printer ID. A network printer can
be integrated via the TPR.
When integrating the connected network printer, you must define
the printer parameters (name, class, driver) and a transfer method.
Transfer
Methods
The data transfer between the TPR and the network printer can be
done in three ways:
• Usually the data is transferred to the TCP/IP port via a
raw/socket connection
. Port 9100 is preset on the TPR. If
required, you can configure a different port number.
• By means of
IPP connections
(Internet Printing Protocol) the
print data is transmitted via HTTP 1.1 via local networks or the
Internet to the printer. To this purpose, you must configure a
printer URL that needs to be implemented according to the
information of the manufacturer. Please refer to the
documentation of your printer. The printer URL 'ipp/lp1' is preset
and can be changed, if needed.
Your advantage: The connection between the TPR and the
printer can be encrypted via SSL/TLS.
• Data transfer can also be done via the
LPD protocol
(Line Printer
Daemon). During LPD printing the print data is sent to the IP
address of the printer by means of an LPD queue.
The LPD queue name 'lp1' is preset. If required, you can
configure a different LPD queue name. Depending on the
configuration, the printing behavior is either compliant to
RFC1179 or resembles Microsoft LPD printing.
Your advantage: When using the LPD protocol for data transfer,
additional print job attributes will be transferred and displayed
in the 'job history' (
92).
