\C{config} Configuring PuTTY
local line editing to be turned on, or force it to be turned off,
instead of relying on the automatic detection.
+\S{config-printing} Remote-controlled printing
+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{terminal.printing}
+
+A lot of VT100-compatible terminals support printing under control
+of the remote server. PuTTY supports this feature as well, but it is
+turned off by default.
+
+To enable remote-controlled printing, choose a printer from the
+\q{Printer to send ANSI printer output to} drop-down list box. This
+should allow you to select from all the printers you have installed
+drivers for on your computer. Alternatively, you can type the
+network name of a networked printer (for example,
+\c{\\\\printserver\\printer1}) even if you haven't already
+installed a driver for it on your own machine.
+
+When the remote server attempts to print some data, PuTTY will send
+that data to the printer \e{raw} - without translating it,
+attempting to format it, or doing anything else to it. It is up to
+you to ensure your remote server knows what type of printer it is
+talking to.
+
+Since PuTTY sends data to the printer raw, it cannot offer options
+such as portrait versus landscape, print quality, or paper tray
+selection. All these things would be done by your PC printer driver
+(which PuTTY bypasses); if you need them done, you will have to find
+a way to configure your remote server to do them.
+
+To disable remote printing again, choose \q{None (printing
+disabled)} from the printer selection list. This is the default
+state.
+
\H{config-keyboard} The Keyboard panel
The Keyboard configuration panel allows you to control the behaviour
If you select \q{UTF-8} as a character set you can use this mode.
Not all server-side applications will support it.
+If you need support for a numeric code page which is not listed in
+the drop-down list, such as code page 866, then you should be able
+to enter its name manually (\c{CP866} for example) in the list box
+and get the right result.
+
\S{config-cyr} \q{Caps Lock acts as Cyrillic switch}
\cfg{winhelp-topic}{translation.cyrillic}
The Nagle algorithm is disabled by default.
+\H{config-proxy} The Proxy panel
+
+The Proxy panel allows you to configure PuTTY to use various types
+of proxy in order to make its network connections. The settings in
+this panel affect the primary network connection forming your PuTTY
+session, but also any extra connections made as a result of SSH port
+forwarding (see \k{using-port-forwarding}).
+
+\S{config-proxy-type} Setting the proxy type
+
+The \q{Proxy type} radio buttons allow you to configure what type of
+proxy you want PuTTY to use for its network connections. The default
+setting is \q{None}; in this mode no proxy is used for any
+connection.
+
+\b Selecting \q{HTTP} allows you to proxy your connections through a
+web server supporting the HTTP \cw{CONNECT} command, as documented
+in \W{http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2817.txt}{RFC 2817}.
+
+\b Selecting \q{SOCKS} allows you to proxy your connections through
+a SOCKS server.
+
+\b Many firewalls implement a less formal type of proxy in which a
+user can make a Telnet connection directly to the firewall machine
+and enter a command such as \c{connect myhost.com 22} to connect
+through to an external host. Selecting \q{Telnet} allows you to tell
+PuTTY to use this type of proxy.
+
+Note [FIXME] that SOCKS is not yet supported, although it should be
+by the time we make our next release.
+
+\S{config-proxy-exclude} Excluding parts of the network from proxying
+
+Typically you will only need to use a proxy to connect to non-local
+parts of your network; for example, your proxy might be required for
+connections outside your company's internal network. In the
+\q{Exclude Hosts/IPs} box you can enter ranges of IP addresses, or
+ranges of DNS names, for which PuTTY will avoid using the proxy and
+make a direct connection instead.
+
+The \q{Exclude Hosts/IPs} box may contain more than one exclusion
+range, separated by commas. Each range can be an IP address or a DNS
+name, with a \c{*} character allowing wildcards. For example:
+
+\c *.example.com
+
+This excludes any host with a name ending in \c{.example.com} from
+proxying.
+
+\c 192.168.88.*
+
+This excludes any host with an IP address starting with 192.168.88
+from proxying.
+
+\c 192.168.88.*,*.example.com
+
+This excludes both of the above ranges at once.
+
+\S{config-proxy-auth} Username and password
+
+If your proxy requires authentication, you can enter a username and
+a password in the \q{Username} and \q{Password} boxes.
+
+Currently these boxes have no effect ( [FIXME] presumably they're
+for SOCKS only).
+
+\S{config-proxy-command} Specifying the Telnet proxy command
+
+If you are using the Telnet proxy type, the usual command required
+by the firewall's Telnet server is \c{connect}, followed by a host
+name and a port number. If your proxy needs a different command,
+you can enter an alternative here.
+
+In this string, you can use \c{\\n} to represent a new-line, \c{\\r}
+to represent a carriage return, \c{\\t} to represent a tab
+character, and \c{\\x} followed by two hex digits to represent any
+other character. \c{\\\\} is used to encode the \c{\\} character
+itself.
+
+Also, the special strings \c{%host} and \c{%port} will be replaced
+by the host name and port number you want to connect to. To get a
+literal \c{%} sign, enter \c{%%}.
+
+\S{config-proxy-socksver} Selecting the version of the SOCKS protocol
+
+SOCKS servers exist in two versions: version 5
+(\W{http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1928.txt}{RFC 1928}) and the earlier
+version 4. The \q{SOCKS Version} radio buttons allow you to select
+which one to use, if you have selected the SOCKS proxy type.
+
\H{config-telnet} The Telnet panel
The Telnet panel allows you to configure options that only apply to
PuTTY will attempt to use protocol 1 if the server you connect to
does not offer protocol 2, and vice versa.
+If you select \q{2 only} here, PuTTY will only connect if the server
+you connect to offers SSH protocol version 2.
