5.5 - MANAGING PRINTERS
Auxiliary ports (2 serial and 1 parallel), USB logical ports and network printers are provided by the
AX3000. These ports are independently controlled so multiple printers can be attached to the
AX3000.
The AX3000 offers an embedded LPD protocol. This protocol is available in most operating
systems and allows one or more printers connected to the AX3000 to be accessed as network
printers. (I.e. these printers are controlled through the spooler and are available for all authorized
users).
Note: Windows 2000 and 2003 support RDP printer redirection. The same printer can be handled
with both LPD and RDP redirection protocols.
The main characteristics of these protocols are:
LPD Protocol: (Server level printer)
- The printer must be added to the Windows spooler by the administrator.
- The printer name is static.
- The printer is available when the thin client is powered-on and can be accessed by any user.
- The printer dataflow is not compressed.
- The display and printer data flows are multiplexed by TCP/IP.
- There is no requirement for any thin client sessions to be connected
- Printer data compression is not possible
RDP/ICA Protocol: (Client level printer)
- The printer is automatically created when the session is established.
