host computer with OS/2 to print on an IPDS printer such as your IPS.
Configuration worksheet The following worksheet will help you in planning the IPS installation.
It describes the key values which you need to supply when planning
the OS/2 configuration. All values on this worksheet must be
determined before you begin the printer configuration on the host.
