Chapter 6 OS/2 Workstation Configuration
84
NOTE: This name must be the name of an existing destination/queue on
the PrintNet and it must be lowercase by default. You will most
likely use d1prn.
Troubleshooting
Check the IP information on both the PrintNet and the OS/2 station for
correctness. Make sure the
PrintNet_queue
is actually defined on the
Ethernet Interface and that you are spelling it correctly.
Using an OS/2 LPR Print Queue
This section describes how to setup an OS/2 Warp 4 print queue to print
to the PrintNet using the LPR protocol. TCP/IP for OS/2 must be installed
on your OS/2 workstation. This procedure is similar to OS/2 Warp 3 and
v2.11.
To setup the printer queue:
1. Find the Printer template icon. It may be in the Printers folder or the
Templates folder.
2. Right click on the icon then select “Install.” The “Create a printer”
dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter any desired name for the printer. This will be the name of the
printer queue.
4. In the “Default printer driver” list, select the desired driver. If the
desired driver does not appear in the list, click on “Install new printer
driver...” and follow the instructions to install the desired driver.
5. In the “Output port” list, double click on an unshaded \PIPE\LPDx
port. If all are shaded, you will have to double click on a shaded port
and change the parameters. If no \PIPE\LPDx ports are shown, follow
these steps to install them:
a. Right click on a port and select “Install.”
b. Select the “New port drivers” radio button.
c. In the “Directory” field, type
d:\TCPIP\DLL where d: is the drive
where the TCPIP subdirectory exists.
