It is important that LPRPORTD.EXE and LPD.EXE be running in the background.

You can set these to run automatically from the Autostart tab of the TCP/IP

a.Click Install new printer driver; this displays the Install new printer driver dialog box.

b.In the Printer Driver Selection section, select Other OS/2 printer driver, then specify the path to the driver. For example:

d:\os2drv

c.Click Refresh, then select the new driver from the list. Click Install and follow the on-screen prompts.

4.Click the right mouse button on an available Pipe port (0 through 7) and select Settings from the menu; the Settings dialog box is displayed. If ports are not selectable or are unavailable, follow these steps:

a.Select Install Ports from Settings and enter C:\TCPIP\DLL where appropriate. You will only have to do this if no printers were specified when TCP/IP was installed.

b.This is where the ports that were not available can be selected: Lpt1-3, Com 1-4, and Pipe 0-7.

c.Once ports are installed, select a Pipe, such as Pipe 1, then double-click this port.
