Chapter 6 OS/2 Workstation Configuration
86
Starting the LPR Port Daemon
The LPR Port Daemon must be started to enable TCP/IP printing. To start
the LPR Port Daemon;
1. Open the TCP/IP folder, which is in the OS/2 System folder for Warp
3.0.
2. Open TCP/IP Configuration.
3. Select the “Autostart” tab on the notebook.
4. In “Services to Autostart,” select “lprportd.”
5. Select “Foreground Session” and “Minimized.”
6. Close the notebook by double clicking the system icon, which is
located in the upper left corner.
7. Select “Save.”
8. If prompted, respond
Yes
to save the configuration changes.
9. At the OS/2 command prompt, enter
tcpstart
to restart TCP.
Troubleshooting
Check the IP information on both the PrintNet and OS/2 station for
correctness.
Make sure the value in step 8 is actually defined on the PrintNet. See
“Configuration Tools” on page 17 to determine how to verify this. Verify
also that you are spelling the printer name correctly.
Verify that LPRPORTD is running.
TCP/IP Access Problem
If you can “ping” the printer from a workstation, but you cannot Web
browse, Telnet, or print to the printer through the PrintNet, there may be
an incorrect entry in the TCP access list. In order for this workstation to
use the PrintNet in this case, one of two things must happen.
1. The TCP list must have an entry added to grant access to this
workstation.
