16.3.  Printer, Terminal, and Location Configurations

The printer and terminal configurations are made through three different administration modules in the Webmin interface.

ThinLinc administration modules

16.3.1.  Modules

16.3.1.1.  Locations

Locations contains information about locations where terminals and printers reside. A location can be a room, a floor, a house or some other type of geographical delimitation.

Every terminal should be assigned as a member of a location.

16.3.1.2.  Terminals

Terminals contains necessary information about all terminals. The most important information here is every terminal's interface hardware (MAC) address.

16.3.1.3.  Printers

Printers contains entries for all available printers. These entries are just shadows of the real CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) printer system entries. This means that you first need the printers to be installed in the CUPS printer system and then added to this list.

16.3.1.4.  Storage

The information entered in the modules listed above is stored in Hiveconf, as most other ThinLinc settings.
