DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT

Configuration steps – OS/2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This section describes the process for configuring a TCP/IP attached

 

 

 

 

host computer with OS/2 to print on an IPDS printer such as your IPS.

 

Configuration worksheet

The following worksheet will help you in planning the IPS installation.

 

 

 

 

It describes the key values which you need to supply when planning

 

 

 

 

the OS/2 configuration. All values on this worksheet must be

 

 

 

 

determined before you begin the printer configuration on the host.

1. Configure the printer for TCP/IP in OS/2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Configure your IPS for TCP/IP. (Refer to your IPS Guide to

 

 

 

 

Configuring and Managing the System, chapter 4, “Setting up the

 

 

 

 

Printer Controller.”

 

 

 

2. Provide TCP/IP routing information, if necessary

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TCP/IP routing information is needed for remote LAN configurations

 

 

 

 

only. (Refer to your host computer documentation for procedures, if

 

 

 

 

needed.)
