LAN Server/Warp Server Configuration (cont.) 7. Open the LAN Services folder, and execute the LAN Requester program:
- Select Definitions
- Select Aliases
- Select Printers
- Select Create. Enter the following:
Alias (should be same as the printer name previously defined
Description (anything you want)
Server name (name of OS/2 server)
Spooler queue (name of printer as defined previously)
Maximum number (leave blank unless you want of users to limit the number of users)
- Exit the LAN Requester program.
8. You should now be able to print. To test the queue, type the following from either the OS/2 command
prompt or from a DOS workstation:
COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS \\servername\alias
The servername is the name of the file server and alias is the alias name that you specified during this
configuration process. This should print the CONFIG.SYS file on the printer. If you selected a binary
service as the LPD printer name, the lines will be staggered (normal DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications
will print OK.
9. The TROY print server will appear as a standard OS/2 printer to application programs. To make the TROY
print server operate transparently with DOS programs, execute the following command on each workstation:
NET USE LPT1: \\servername\alias
This will make the printer and the TROY print server appear to the software as a printer that is directly
connected to the parallel port of the workstation.
