Printronix Network Interface Card Using An OS/2 LPR Print Queue, NOTE:, :\MPTN\DLL, :\TCPIP\DLL, Using An OS/2 LPR Print Queue

Using An OS/2 LPR Print QueueUsing An OS/2 LPR Print Queue

This section describes how to set up an OS/2 Warp 4 print queue to print to the NIC using the LPR protocol. TCP/IP for OS/2 must be installed on your OS/2 workstation. This procedure is similar to OS/ 2 Warp 3 and v2.11.

To set up the printer queue:

1.Find the Printer template icon. It may be in the Printers folder or the Templates folder.

2.Right click on the icon, then select “Install.” The “Create a printer” dialog box displays.

3.Enter any desired name for the printer. This will be the name of the printer queue.

4.In the “Default printer driver” list, select the desired driver. If the desired driver does not appear in the list, click on “Install new printer driver...” and follow the instructions to install the desired driver.

5.In the “Output port” list, double click on an unshaded \PIPE\ LPDx port. If all are shaded, double click on a shaded port and change the parameters. If no \PIPE\LPDx ports displays, follow these steps to install them:

a.Right click on a port and select “Install.”

b.Select the “New port drivers” radio button.

c.In the “Directory” field, type d:\TCPIP\DLL where d: is the drive where the TCPIP subdirectory exists.

d.Click on “Refresh.” Several \PIPE\LPDx port icons should appear in the “Output port” list. If none appear, type d:\MPTN\DLL and repeat this step again.

NOTE: If no ports appear after completing step d, search your drives for the LPRPDRVR.PDR and type the path to this file, not including the file name (in step c). The final step available is to ask OS/2 support to install these ports.
