I was wondering if there was anyone out there using Thin Clients as their box office terminals. If there is, I'm wondering how your ticket printers are set up to work with them.
I'm not a technical person, so please go easy with me if you have answers
l I know is that we can currently print tickets from a Thin Client when the printer is local to a networked PC but, if we take away the PC there is no obvious solution for plugging the printer directly into the Thin Client itself. Or is there?
Thanks in advance.
If you are using Parallel port Boccas one option to connect to thin clients is a USB to Parallel port converter. I have had good and bad luck with these so it would take some testing. But most thin clients do have USB ports (that I have worked with)
Something like this
