e. Select all the ports with the mouse pointer and click on
“Install.” The \PIPE\LPD
x
ports should now show in the
“Output port” list.
6. The “\PIPE\LPD
x

7. In the “LPD server” field, type the IP address of the NIC.
8. In the “LPD printer” field, type the name of the defined
destination/queue on the NIC.
NOTE: This name must be the name of an existing destination/
queue on the NIC, and it must be lowercase by default.
Most likely you will most likely use d1prn. If the IPDS
feature is installed, queue name d4prn is not available.
9. Optionally, click on “Help” to understand the other parameters
and enter those values.
10. Click “OK.”
11. Click on “Create.” The print queue is created and placed in the
Printers folder or on the OS/2 desktop.
12. Make sure LPRPORTD is running. Press
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 bootup.
Any print jobs sent to this queue will now be forwarded to the
NIC.
