Configuring SMB printing using ThinOS INI parameters
is simple and an easy way to configure printers shared by a Windows
server for all clients in your environment. The primary advantage
of configuring SMB printing using ThinOS INI parameters is that you
can pre-define the domain account to use to authenticate the printer.
The following examples discuss how the credentials can be supplied.
1. Defining an SMB
printer with generic user credentials in plain text
NOTE:In order to create
the encrypted passwords for use in an INI file you will want to use
a program such as ConfGen. This application has built in support for
creating the encrypted strings. ConfGen can be downloaded from technicalhelp.de/
NOTE: This
is a non-supported tool that is linked solely for the purpose of this
example.
3. Defining an SMB
printer to use user credentials cached by ThinOS (advanced)
NOTE:This method
requires that the user log in to ThinOS so that the credentials can
be cached for later use. The example INI section provided below provides
the minimum requirements you need.
