Reg thinprint dll That is ThinPrint installed. We are now ready to configure a GPO to deploy printers Setup a GPO to Deploy Printers Via ThinPrint Now we are ready to create a GPO, to deploy printers with ThinPrint. We can create this GPO at any level. Be it on an indiviual level or at the top domain level.

In my example I am attaching my ThinPrint GPO to an OU that houses my VMware View Linked Cliones, as these clones will need printers mapping based on computer names. So first run Group Policy Management.Then Create Your GPO and give it a valid name, mine is simply called ThinPrint. Add printer to thinprint Now in my example I will configure Thin Print to deploy printers to pc`s with certain computer names. First tick the box if this printer is going to be the default printer, if you want to add multiple printers do so, only ticking ONLY as the default printer. Now, as we are deploying via computer name, enter the computer name.if you have multiple computers with similar names such as HR1.HR2.HR3 etc enter HR., this will cover all computers with HR in the title as a prefix. Next under Printer Name, give it a user friendly printer name. Then, under printer driver, you must enter the EXACT name of the printer driver, in my case it is Universal Printer Driver.

I find the easiest way to get this is to go to your print server, right click the printer and go to drivers and copy and paste. Then, to complete under IP port enter IP0.0.0.0 Where 0.0.0.0 is the IP of the printer you are deploying. You MUST use IP. Here is my example complete. Configure thinprint finally close the screen and run Gpupdate /force to force the gpo to deploy Obviously, to deploy the printer via IP range you would enter your IP range of the client PC`s.

To deploy via MAC address, you would enter a valid MAC address. The same goes for user/group. You would enter a valid active directory group that the user is a member of. Troubleshooting ThinPrint If you find that your printers do not map correctly we can run the commands below. ( make sure you are here C: Program Files VMWare VMWare Tools ) tpautoconnect.exe –d all This will delete all printers If you want to see what is happening during the ThinPrint mapping process run this command. It will give an error if there is an issue.
