1. How can I configure a USB attached printer in an RDP sessions to a Windows server?



2. Are there any limits on the types of printers my Linux thin client can support? 



3. How do I configure a remote OUTQ on the AS/400 (iSeries) so I can print to my attached printer via IP?  



4. How to I add a printer to use in an RDP session on a Linux thin client? 

In order to do printing to a Thin Client printer via Windows or RDP, the LTC needs a static IP address and then add a printer in windows and make it local and create a a Standard TCP/IP port pointing at the ip address of the LTC. Then share the printer on the Terminal services server and use it in the RDP session. This is necessary because the LTC does not tell windows what type printer it has connected to it so Windows cannot determine which driver to use you have to tell it. This should then allow you to print to the USB printer from RDP.

The Linux units do not support printers that use the LIDIL printer language.

1. Add the printer and driver on the terminal server
2. From the Terminal Properties on the thin client select the Printer tab and Add Printer

 

 

3. The printer name MUST match exactly the name of the printer driver on the terminal server.
