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.
- The printer name is static: "terminal name / printer name / session X" (the
session number can varied).
- The printer is only available when the session is established. This printer
is the user default printer. This printer is not "seen" by other users.
- The printer dataflow can be compressed.
- The display and printer data flows are multiplexed by TSE.
The following applies only with LPD printer configuration. For an RDP printer
