AutoConnect

hkey_local_machine\software\ThinPrint\TPAutoConnect

Name	AutoConnect MMC	Description	Type	Default value
ConnectTo­Client	Printer name con­tains preferably (printing via TCP/IP)	Connection to client with client name or client address (use: Auto, ClientName, ClientAddress)	reg_sz	Auto
DisableSetting­OfDefPrinter	AutoConnect has no influence	AutoConnect will not set any default printer	reg_dword	0
InstallOrder	1, 2: Default printer taken from 4: Disable Dynamic Printer Matrix	0 = create/connect no printer 1 = Dynamic Printer Matrix first 2 = Map Additional Printers first 3 = Dynamic Printer Matrix only 4 = Map Additional Printers only	reg_dword	1
ListenToWTS	—	AutoConnect is started automati­cally on session logon (Auto mode)	reg_dword	1
ListenToWTS­CreatCmd	—	Command that will be launched on session logon if ListenToWTS is not 0	reg_sz	tpauto­connect.exe
ListenToWTS­DeleteCmd	—	Command that will be launched on session logoff	reg_sz	tpauto­connect.exe -dl
ListenToWTS­OnDisconnect	At session recon­nect/disconnect	Indicates whether printers will be deleted when a session goes to the disconnect state	reg_dword	1
NameTrans­lationEx	Dynamic Printer Matrix	Content of Dynamic Printer Matrix	reg_mul­ti_sz	—
PrinterCreate­ListEx2	Map Additional Printers	Content of Map Additional Printers	reg_mul­ti_sz	—
Protocol	Transfer protocol	Protocol for connections to ThinPrint Clients (use: TCPIP, VC, AUTO)	reg_sz	Auto

StoreUserSes­sionSettings	—	Enable storing printer properties in User Settings database (bit mask) bit 0 = default printer information bit 1 = printer properties (dev­mode) bit 2 = if bit 0 and/or 1 is enabled, printer properties and/or default printer information is stored to the database bit 3 = AutoConnect will be started in user's session/s when database was changed (will be polled every 30 seconds)	reg_dword	7 (bits 0, 1 and 2 set)
UserDriven­DefaultPrinter	Default printer – give priority to the user’s choice	Set to 1 if the selection of the default printer will be user driven, so AutoConnect will not interfere it	reg_dword	0
AddPrinter­Connection­Timeout	Cancel connection attempt (s)	Timeout for the AddPrinterCon­nection in case the spooler is overwhelmed	reg_dword	120 s
Auto­Remapping­Enabled	—	Controls the automatic remapping of printers if a print server fails. By default for all sessions that use a failed print server TPAC should be called again to remap the printers. If this value is 0 then the remap­ping will not be called.	reg_dword	1

MaxAllowed­FailedMap­pings	Threshold for assigning failed status	specifies how often a mapping of a network printer for any print server may fail without changing the status of the print server to "failed". The next failing mapping will set the status then to "failed", e.g. for default value 4 the 5th failed mapping from a print server will trigger the status change to "failed".	reg_dword	4
