or IP address.

B I N A R Y _ P 1

Host name

The IP name of the OS/2 file server

User

The IP address of the OS/2 file server

You may leave the other entries blank. Click on the OK button. The pipe
should be highlighted; if not click on it.
Click on the Create button to create the printer.

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 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:

C O P Y C : \ C O N F I G . S Y S \ \ s e r v e r n a m e \ a l i a s

where 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

C O N F I G . S Y S

file on the printer. Note that if you selected a binary service as

the LPD printer name, the lines will be staggered; don't worry about this
because normal DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications will print OK.

9. The print server will appear as a standard OS/2 printer to application programs.

To make the print server operate transparently with DOS programs, execute
the following command on each workstation:

N E T U S E L P T 1 : \ \ s e r v e r n a m e \ a l i a s

This will make the printer and the print server appear to the software as a
printer that is directly connected to the parallel port of the workstation.
