d. Click on “Refresh.” Several \PIPE\LPDx port icons should appear
in the “Output port” list. If none appear, type
d:\MPTN\DLL in step
c. and try this step again.
NOTE: If no ports appear after completing step d., search your drives for
the LPRPDRVR.PDR and type the path to this file, not including
the file name, in step c. The final step available is to ask OS/2
support to install these ports.
e. Select all the ports with the mouse pointer and click on “Install.”
The \PIPE\LPDx ports should now show in the “Output port” list.

7. In the “LPD server” field, type the IP address of the PrintNet.
8. In the “LPD printer” field, type the name of the defined destination /
queue on the PrintNet.
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.

enter those values.
10. Click “OK.”
11. Click on “Create.” The print queue is created and placed in the
Printers folder or possibly on the OS/2 desktop.
12. Make sure LPRPORTD is running. Type
Ctrl-Esc
and check the list
for a line that contains LPRPORTD. If it is running, this process is
complete. If it is not running, enter the following at the OS/2 command
prompt:
start lprportd
You will probably want to put this command in your “STARTUP.CMD”
file, or use the TCP/IP Configuration tool to set it to autostart on boot
up.
Any jobs sent to this queue will now be forwarded to the PrintNet to
be printed.
