There is no configuration required on the PCoIP Zero Client for location based printing.

For details on setting up location based printing on a PCoIP Zero Client, see the following document which covers the following main steps:

  1. Reinstall the Agent
  2. Install the Print Driver
  3. Register the Location-Based Printing Group Policy DLL File
  4. Set Up the Group Policy

Note: Thin print pulls IP information from the registry and not from the PCoIP Zero Client.
