Additional Registry entries of ThinPrint Client Windows

The following Registry entries can be created manually under:

hkey_local_machine\software\ThinPrint\client

or

hkey_current_user\software\AppDataLow\software\ThinPrint\client

NameDescritptionTypeDefault value
CachePrin­terIDsIf set (= 1) the ThinPrint Client turns on the caching of printer IDs: Values of printers that do not exist (anymore) will not be removed from registry (see PName_*, PType_*, PUsed_* and PPort_*). For each newly added printer the list will be searched for a matching printer name to take the according ID. If no matching printer name was found a com­pletely new ID will be assigned. reg_dword 0
CertNameName of the imported certificate (Registry entry CertName) reg_sz none
CertStore

0 = use the user’s certificate store

1 = use the computer’s certificate store
Note: Permissions has to be assigned to the certificate (see the instruction Creating certificates for printing with Thin­Print).

 reg_dword 0
DebugFilePath to the log file (together with DebugLevel only) reg_sz none
DebugLevel

Bit 1: log errors

Bit 2: log warnings

Bit 3: log information

Example: 7 = log all
(together with DebugFile only)

 reg_dword none
HKCU1= ThinPrint Client configuration is user specific saved under: hkey_current_user\software\thinprint\client reg_dword 0
NewIDSpecifies the starting value for printer ID assignment reg_dword none
RmtConfIP address of the administration machine (e. g., with ThinPrint Engine installed) from which the ThinPrint Client remote configuration is allowed. It is possible to enter more than one address (Remote client configuration) reg_multi_sz none
SetIDListSpecifies whether changes in the ThinPrint Client (new printers, classes, etc.) should be applied when client is restarted
1 = changes are applied (printer list is updated)
0 = changes are reset
Note: The Reload Printers function has a higher priority than these settings.
 reg_dword none


hkey_local_machine\software\ThinPrint\client

NameDescriptionTypeDefault value
BlockProper­tiesList of printer drivers to disable the fetching of the printer properties for (these native drivers will not be queried for their printer properties by the ThinPrint Client). The name of a printer driver must be on each single line. This list may be overwritten by settings from the GPO.reg_multi_sznone
BoundIPsContains a list of IP addresses the ThinPrint Client is sup­posed to listen on. This is a White List, i. e. the client listens only on these IPs. Each IP address must be one line.reg_multi_sznone
RestrictGUI

Allows restriction of the ThinPrint Client GUI through GPO.

Bit 0: Hide GUI completely. If the bit is set (= 1) the tray icon of the client will not be shown.

reg_dword0
StartDelayTime to wait after starting the ThinPrint Client (in seconds). During this time, the client doesn't accept any TCP connec­tions nor processes any other work.reg_dword0

Further information on the single entries can be found in Unattended installation of ThinPrint Client Windows.
