Here you can make general settings regarding printer drivers and printers for this Thin Client.

However, you additionally need to select the appropriate driver via the next drop-down menu labeled Available local drivers.

Available local drivers: If any printer drivers are installed on this Thin Client and you have chosen an appropriate Manufacturer via the previous drop-down menu, you can choose among the currently installed local drivers of that manufacturer to select the one you want to make changes to.

Upload new printer driver: If you are accessing this menu via a remote connection, clicking on the button labeled Browse... allows you to browse the local hard drives of the computer, with which you are accessing the Thin Client, for any available printer drivers to upload them to the Thin Client.

Delete uploaded driver: Allows you to select any of the drivers for deletion that have previously been uploaded with the above option.
