TCP/IP PRINTING 2 - 8
Configuration of an OS/2 Server
1
From the OS/2 desktop open the Templates folder. Use the
right mouse button to drag the Printer icon (not the Network
Printer icon) onto the desktop.
2
The Create a Printer window should be open (if it is not, double
click on the printer icon).
3
Type in any name for the printer.
4
Select the default printer driver. If the desired printer driver is not
listed, click on the Install new Printer Driver button and add the
driver.
5
Choose the output port. IBM TCP/IP automatically creates 8
named pipes called
\PIPE\LPD0
through to
\PIPE\LPD7
.
Pick an unused port and double click on it.
You will get the Settings window. Enter the following:
You may leave the other entries blank. Click on the OK button. The
pipe should be highlighted; if not, click on it.
Click on the Create button to create the printer.
Early versions of Warp Server have a bug in which the
named pipes do not appear (the problem does not affect
Warp Connect or LAN Server). This problem is fixed via a
patch available from IBM.
LPD server
The Brother print server name (from the
HOSTS file) or its IP address.
LPD printer
For most applications, use the Brother print
server 'binary' service BINARY_P1. However,
if you are printing text files from the DOS or
OS/2 command prompt, you should use the
text service TEXT_P1, which will add carriage
returns for proper formatting of the data (but
will potentially distort graphics printouts).
Host name
The IP name of the OS/2 file server
User
The IP address of the OS/2 file server
