Using the Ethernet Card

5.Copy all the files in the PIPES directory to the remote print service directory (substitute the CD-ROM or diskette drive letter for D):

◗For TCP/IP, type:

COPY D:\OS2\TCPIP\PIPE\*.* C:\EPNET

◗For NetBEUI, type:

COPY D:\OS2\NETBEUI\PIPE\*.* C:\EPNET

Note:

Choose a port name that identifies the printer, such as 850NPRN. You can use up to seven characters, but you can’t use any of the following:

/ \ . [ ] : ; > < + = ? * $ “

If you plan to use a shared print queue that receives print jobs from other workstations, install either the IBMNULL or MSNULL printer driver. To select the device to connect to, choose the port name entered in step 2.

6.Type CD\EPNET to change to the remote print service directory.

Your remote print service directory now contains these files:

Configuring the Printer for Remote Print Service

Follow these steps to set up remote print service:

1.Open an OS/2 full screen command session from the server.

2.Go to the remote print service directory CD\EPNET.

3.Use the ADDPORT <port name> command to define a port for the printer.

4.If necessary, install the printers and create queues attached to your workstation. See your OS/2 documentation for information.
