USB Printer and ICS Only

From Inveneo

Connecting only an Inveneo Computing Station and USB printer.

These are instructions for the simplest printer configuration - a printer and an ICS. This configuration is best when there is only one computer or you want to limit users access to the printer by only allowing one computer to print.

IDL has automatically detected the USB printer. Be sure to select the option with HPLIP when connecting a HP printer

8. Click the Forward button.
9. The IDL will automatically detect supported printers and fill in the “Manufacturer:", "Model:", and "Driver:", fields for the detected printer. Important: If the recommended printer is an HP model, look above or below the selected printer for the same model followed by HPLIP. Choose this model instead of the recommended model. (HPLIP indicates official HP drivers).
10. Click Forward.
11. The "Description:" and "Location:" fields do not need to be filled in.
12. Click Apply.
13. The new printer will appear in the Printers panel.
