While the central configuration method can be used to enforce your CMOS settings in a production environment, be aware that any thin client that logs into the file server that contains the cmos.ini and its extract and restore commands will be subject to those commands (CMOS overwrites).
- Page 77 CMOS Management Step 5: Login All Target Devices to the File Server containing the CMOS INI File 1. On all of the target thin clients that you want to distribute the Reference Device CMOS settings, start the thin client. 2.

Use these general guidelines in addition to the information provided in "Printer." IMPORTANT: Host-based printers are not supported. It includes: "Printing to Local USB or Parallel Printers"... -
Page 80: Printing To Local Usb Or Parallel Printers
Appendix C Printing to Local USB or Parallel Printers You can print to locally attached printers through USB or Parallel ports. IMPORTANT: Microsoft Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH), Microsoft Terminal Services, and Citrix XenApp each have their own printing policies that must be configured properly to allow client side printing. - Page 81 Examples of Common Printing Configurations NOTE: The PrinterID is the exact text of the Windows printer driver name, so if a printer driver is named HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL in Windows, then it must be exactly the same in the PrinterID field in the INI parameters including capitalizations and spaces. For example, to find the Windows printer driver name on a Windows 2003 Server: 1.

Page 83: Using Ini Parameters For Non-Windows Network Printers (Lpd)
Examples of Common Printing Configurations Using INI Parameters for Non-Windows Network Printers (LPD) Configuring network printing using ThinOS INI parameters is simple and an easy way to configure a printer for all clients in your environment assuming every printer is the same. -
Page 84: Printing To Windows Network Printers (Smb)
Appendix C Printing to Windows Network Printers (SMB) ThinOS can print to printers that are shared by Microsoft print servers. There are some configuration requirements that need to be considered when configuring SMB printing from ThinOS which may require changes to your thin client setup. Since connecting to a Microsoft Windows Print Server requires domain credentials, you must provide the credentials to ThinOS either on demand as the printer is used or by administrator setup providing credentials cached from the Wyse login screen (see... - Page 85 Examples of Common Printing Configurations After entering required domain credentials, the Printer Setup dialog box will display.
