Step-by-Step Setup for IBM TCP/IP for OS/2

TCP/IP Protocol Configuration

1 Acquire two IP addresses for use on your server and your DocuPrint printer.

2 Install TCP/IP for OS/2. Remember to open LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS/MPTS, etc.) and configure the TCP/IP protocol for your network adapter. (See your OS/2 documentation for configuring network adapters for the TCP/IP protocol.)

3 Open (double-click) TCP/IP Configuration Object.

•Click the Printing tab and enter the following:

•REMOTE PRINT SERVER = Printer IP Address in 32-bit dotted decimal notation (e.g. 127.0.0.0).

•REMOTE PRINT SERVER’S PRINTER = ps (Enter ps without quotes and in lowercase.)

•MAXIMUM NUMBER OF LPD PORTS = Enter a number between 2 and 64 inclusive.

•FOR OS/2 PRINTING ONLY (NO WIN-OS/2) Click the Autostart tab. Highlight lprportd, then click Autostart Service, Foreground Session and Minimized.

•Close the TCP/IP Configuration Windows. Click SAVE, then reply YES to Update CONFIG.SYS.

•Shutdown your server/workstation and reboot.

Once completed and you have rebooted, use the “ping” command at an OS/2 Command Prompt to ping your server/workstation’s IP address. Repeat the ping command using your DocuPrint printer’s IP Address to confirm that your printer is configured properly for using TCP/IP.
