OS/2 Printing Using TCP/IP LPR/LPD

Xerox 4500 PS TR

6. OS/2 Printing Using TCP/IP LPR/LPD

This chapter provides the three methods available for printing from OS/2 based PC’s with TCP/IP installed:

1.Via print queue output port selection (see Section 5.1 below for details).

2.Via redirection of LPTx port wit h LPR command (see Section 5.2 below for details).

3.Redirection of LPTx port with LPRMON command (see Section 5.3 below for details).

Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP installation of the Xerox 4500 PS TR has been completed, direct printing from OS/2 will be possible.
