Configuring LPD Services
A thin client can be configured to provide LPD (Line Printer Daemon) services, making the
thin client a printer server on the network.
Set-up the thin client that is to provide LPD print services as follows:
1. Open the Network Setup dialog box (Desktop Menu > System Setup > Network)
and enter a static IP address for the thin client.
2. Open the Printer Setup dialog box (Desktop Menu > System Setup > Printer) and
select any of the listed ports.
3. Name the printer in the Printer Name box.
4. Select Enable LPD service for the printer.
5. Select Enable the Printer Device.
6. Set up the application server as described in either “Setting Up Windows NT4 Servers”
or “Setting Up Windows 2003/2008 Servers” .
Setting Up Windows NT4 Servers
1. Navigate to Control Panel > Network > Services and ensure that the Microsoft TCP/
IP Printing service is installed. If it is not, install it using the Microsoft installation
instructions.
2. Add the thin client as the LPD printer by completing the following:
a. Navigate to Control Panel > Printers > Add Printers > My Computer > Add Port
and double-click LPR PORT (if you do not see LPR Port, ensure that the Microsoft
TCP/IP Printing service is installed correctly).
b. Type the thin client IP address or DNS name in the Name or address of host
providing LPD box.
c. Type the printer name (assigned in “Configuring LPD Services” ) in the Name of
printer on that machine box.
d. Click OK, and then click NEXT.
3. After you have selected the printer, you can perform your normal printer setup for the
application server. For example, select the manufacturer printer type and printer name.
