Using the Ethernet Card

5.Create an initialization file in the remote print service directory:

For TCP/IP, type:

REMPRT <card serial number> <port name>

For NetBEUI, type:

REMPRT3 <card serial number> <port name>

6.To ensure that remote print service is initialized each time you start your workstation, edit the STARTUP.CMD file in your root directory to include the initialization file on the last line:

For TCP/IP, type:

\EPNET\REMPRT @ REMPRT.INI

For NetBEUI, type:

\EPNET\REMPRT3 @ REMPRT3.INI

7.Use the LAN Server Administration program (NET ADMIN) to add newly configured printers to the list of shared resources. See your OS/2 documentation for more information.

Obtaining Printer Status for Piped Ports

You can obtain printer status for each piped port on your workstation by typing the REMSTAT command:

For TCP/IP, type REMSTAT

For NetBEUI, type REMSTAT3

After sending the REMSTAT command, your printer will return messages similar to these:

ITC Remote Print Servers active for 850NPRN— Printer Busy

ITC Remote Print Servers active for 850NPR2—Printer Ready
