Section 6 - Chapter 3 - Printing in the OS2 Environment

3.Select the print queue associated with the OkiLAN 6100e+.

OS/2 applications that use the default printer will now print to the printer attached to the OkiLAN 6100e+.

The OS/2 print screen function uses the OS/2 default printer. This function is invoked when you press the Print Screen key while on the desktop, in an OS/2 window, or when you are running an OS/2 application.

4.Press Print Screen on your keyboard. A copy of your screen will appear on the appropriate printer.

DOS and WIN-OS/2

DOS and WIN-OS/2 do not observe the OS/2 Presentation Manager default printer setting. Both DOS and WIN-OS/2 applications typically use LPT1 as the default printer. To use the newly defined print queue as a DOS or WIN-OS/2 printer, you must assign a DOS or WIN-OS/2 device name to the desired queue.

Example:

If the OkiLAN 6100e+ is installed on a server named SERVER 1 and assigned the queue name MPXLPT, the following command issued from an OS/2 command prompt would reassign LPT1:

C>NET USE LPT1 \\Server1\MPXLPT

If OS/2 does not recognize the network name, enter the following command from an OS/2 prompt on the server where the software utilities were installed:

C>NET SHARE MPXLPT /PRINT

Any applications using LPT1 will now print to the OkiLAN 6100e+.
