DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT

References – OS/2
The following IBM documents, referenced in this section, can provide
additional information on OS/2-to-IPDS printer connectivity.
Printer Ensure that the Maximum Transmission Unit size (MTU) is as
large as possible. A small MTU size increases the number of
packets that are transmitted, allowing greater chances of
degradation throughout the network. Increasing the MTU size in
both TCP/IP for OS/2 and the IPS printer may improve printer
performance.
LAN If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other
devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the LAN can
cause printer speed degradation. Consider moving the printer to
a LAN that does not have so much activity on it.
LAN-to-host
attachment
If the speed of the link connecting the LAN with the printer
attached to the OS/2 system is slow, this could be a bottleneck.
Review your network configuration diagrams to look for any
potential bottlenecks.
