LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server Configuration

Brother print servers will work with IBM LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server networks that have IBM TCP/IP
V2.0 or later installed on the file server (TCP/IP is supplied as standard with LAN Server V4.0 and later
as well as Warp Server). Use the following procedure to configure the print server on an LAN Server or
OS/2 Warp Server file server, or on an OS/2 Warp Connect workstation:

Server Configuration

Make sure that TCP/IP software is installed on your OS/2 file server. If you have not already done so,
open the TCP/IP folder on the desktop, and double click on the TCP/IP Configuration icon to add the
IP address to the OS/2 file server (consult your system manager for this address).

Refer to the Quick Setup Guide of the printer to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

Configuration of an OS/2 Server

1

From the OS/2 desktop open the Templates folder. Use the right mouse button to drag the Printer
icon (not the Network Printer icon) onto the desktop.

2

The Create a Printer window should be open (if it is not, double click on the printer icon).

3

Type in any name for the printer.

4

Select the default printer driver. If the desired printer driver is not listed, click on the Install new Printer
Driver
button and add the driver.

5

Choose the output port. IBM TCP/IP automatically creates 8 named pipes called

\PIPE\LPD0

through to

\PIPE\LPD7

. Pick an unused port and double click on it.

Early versions of Warp Server have a bug in which the named pipes do not appear (the problem does
not affect Warp Connect or LAN Server). This problem is fixed via a patch available from IBM.

You will get the Settings window. Enter the following:

LPD server

The Brother print server name (from the HOSTS file) or its IP address.

LPD printer

For most applications, use the Brother print server 'binary' service BINARY_P1.

Host name

The IP name of the OS/2 file server

User

The IP address of the OS/2 file server
