NOTE: During Power Up, the printer performs an interface hardware test.
The presence of the Ethernet Interface menu selections at the
printer operator panel indicates that the Ethernet Interface
hardware is functioning properly. See the
Setup Guide
for
configuration menu information.
Using an OS/2 LPR Print Queue
This section describes how to setup an OS/2 Warp 4 print queue to print
to the Ethernet Interface 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.
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.
