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
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.
Check the IP information on both the Ethernet Interface and OS/2 station
for correctness.
Make sure the value in step 8 is actually defined on the Ethernet
Interface. See “Configuration Tools” on page 21 to determine how to
verify this. Verify also that you are spelling the printer name correctly.
Verify that LPRPORTD is running.
