Starting The LPR Port Daemon

The LPR Port Daemon must be started to enable TCP/IP printing.
To start the LPR Port Daemon:

1.

Open the TCP/IP folder, which is in the OS/2 System folder for
Warp 3.0.

2.

Open TCP/IP Configuration.

3.

Select the “Autostart” tab on the notebook.

4.

In “Services to Autostart,” select “lprportd.”

5.

Select “Foreground Session” and “Minimized.”

6.

Close the notebook by double clicking the system icon, which is
located in the upper left corner.

7.

Select “Save.”

8.

If prompted, press “Yes”

to save the configuration changes.

9.

At the OS/2 command prompt, enter tcpstart

to restart TCP.

Troubleshooting

Check the IP information on both the NIC and OS/2 station for
correctness.

Make sure the value in step 8 of “Using An OS/2 LPR Print Queue”
is actually defined on the NIC. See “Configuration Tools” on page
34 to
determine how to verify this. Also verify that you are spelling
the printer name correctly, and verify that LPRPORTD is running.
