CD NETBEUI\REDIRECT

and

press

Enter

.

4. Copy the redirection files to your root directory.

For TCP/IP, copy

RPRINT.EXE

and

RSTAT.EXE

For NetBEUI, copy

RPRINT3.EXE

and

RSTAT3.EXE

5. Edit the STARTUP.CMD file in your root directory to

include the RPRINT command as the last line in the file.

For TCP/IP, type the following:

RPRINT <card serial number> </port name>

For NetBEUI, type the following:

RPRINT3 <card serial number> </port name>

6. Repeat step 5 for each port you want to redirect.

7. Reboot the workstation.

All printed output spooled to the workstation is redirected to
the EPSON Stylus COLOR 850 printer specified in the
STARTUP.CMD entry.

Obtaining Printer Status for Redirected Ports

You can obtain printer status for each redirected port on your
workstation by typing the RSTAT command appropriate to
your network protocol at the OS/2 command line:

For TCP/IP, type

RSTAT

For NetBEUI, type

RSTAT3

Note:
If no port is designated for
port name, the program
assumes LPT1. If the
printer is on a different
port and no port name is
given, the print files are
sent to a nonexistant
device with your card’s
serial number on LPT1.
