Configuring New Printers

This section explains how to configure new printers on a LAN Server for use with remote print service.

Note:

You must have supervisor rights on the server to configure printers and queues.

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

2.Change to the remote print service directory:

CD \EPNET

3.Create ports for your new printers using the ADDPORT command. Choose names that will help to identify the printers, using up to a maximum of 7 characters for each name (for example, EPLASER or PUBSPRT). However, do not use the following characters when assigning a name to the printer:
