    Hello,

    I’m currently setting up printing through LPR on an rdp connection using thinos on a wyse 3040. I’m trying to print to a Dell B2375dnf printer but as soon as I send a windows test print I receive an error message that the printer is offline. I’m guessing that I have the queue name correct because the printer will show in my list of printers.  Not sure what I am missing in my wnos.ini file and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Below is what I have listed in my wnos.ini file for this printer

    Printer=LPD1
    LocalName=”testprinter”
    Host=ip of printer
    Queue=”DellB2375dnf”
    PrinterID=”Dell B2375dnf Mono MFP PCL6″
    Enabled=yes

    I am able to print using this method on an OKI B432 printer. If I don’t list the PrinterID parameter to just use the generic / text only driver I get the same error message of the printer being offline.

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Do you have each parameter in the same line or ended each line with a ” \”?

    Apologies, posted that way for easier reading. All parameters are listed on 1 line.

    What does the PrinterID value for your OKI look like?
