ThinPrint Output Gateway template

_#ThinPrint Output Gateway printer template in the Printers folder
This printer is a template for auto-created client printers. In other words, when a user establishes a connection to the virtual desktop, a printer is created (mapped) for them in the ICA or RDP session; this printer inherits specific settings (e. g., compression level, the transmission protocol, and the TP Output Gateway printer driver) from the template.
