Installation

• Unpack the archive file thnuclnt-7.0.xy-linux.tar.gz and copy its contents into a local directory of the Linux computer.
• Open the Terminal application and change to this directory.
• Start the installer as root with:

./setup.sh (top arrow)

The installer setup.sh automatically identifies the processor architecture (bottom arrow) as well as the Linux distribution and then installs the software compilation that fits best.

Start

• Copy the config file thnuclnt.conf from the software’s download ZIP from Con­fig Files\tcpip or create a new one.
• Move this file to the (hidden) subdirectory .thnuclnt (of the user’s home direc­tory) – i.e., to ~/.thnuclnt.

This file should have the following content:

# BEGIN SYSTEM CONFIG 
autoupdate = 15 
automap = true 
autoid = 0 
updatecount = 1 
editcount = 1 
connector tcpip 
{ 
protocol = listen 
interface = 0.0.0.0 
setdefault = true 
} 
# END SYSTEM CONFIG

For more on this, see the Parameters section.

• The users start the ThinPrint Client with:

  thnuclnt

The printers created in CUPS will be mapped automatically into a Remote Desktop session if a ThinPrint Engine is installed on the machine on which the session is running.
(The printer mapping is done by AutoConnect, which is a part of ThinPrint Engine.)

The printer list of the ThinPrint Client can also be retrieved using AutoConnect or the Management Services.
