LAN Server/OS/2 Warp Server Configuration
As Brother print servers support the SMB protocol over TCP/IP via a
NetBIOS interface, you can easily configure your printer to work with
an IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server networks that have IBM
TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the fileserver. Use the following
procedure to configure the LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server or OS/2
Warp connect workstation.
Server Configuration:
1
Open the Templates folder on the OS/2 desktop.
2
Using the right mouse button, drag the Printer template onto the
desktop.

Type in any desired name for the printer from the Create a

Choose an unused port (for example, LPT3) to connect to the
printer.
5
Choose the appropriate printer driver from the list.
6
Click Create and then OK.
7
If desired, indicate whether you want to share the printer.
Workstation Configuration:
On each workstation that you wish to print from, execute the
following step:

NET USE LPTx: \\NodeName\ServiceName
Where x is the LPT port number (1 through 9), NodeName is the

where xxxxxx is the last six digits of Ethernet address) and
ServiceName is the service name of the print server (BINARY_P1
by default). For example:
