LAN Server/OS/2 Warp Server Configuration


As print servers support the SMB protocol over TCP/IP via a NetBIOS interface, you
can easily configure your printer to work with an IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp
Server networks that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the fileserver. Use
the following procedure to configure the LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server or OS/2
Warp connect workstation.

Server Configuration:

1. Open the Templates folder on the OS/2 desktop.
2. Using the right mouse button, drag the Printer template onto the desktop.
3. Type in any desired name for the printer from the Create a Printer window.
4. Choose an unused port (for example, LPT3) to connect to the printer.
5. Choose the appropriate printer driver from the list.
6. Click Create and then OK.
7. If desired, indicate whether you want to share the printer.

Workstation Configuration:


On each workstation that you wish to print from, execute the following step:

Go to the DOS or OS/2 command prompt and enter the command:

NET USE LPTx: \\NodeName\ServiceName


Where "x" is the LPT port number (1 through 9), NodeName is the NetBIOS Name
of the print server (usually BRN_xxxxxx by default, where "xxxxxx" is the last six
digits of Ethernet address) and ServiceName is the service name of the print server
(BRN_xxxxxx-P by default). For example:

NET USE LPT2: \\BRN_310107\

BRN_xxxxxx-P


You can find the NetBIOS name and MAC address by printing out the printer
configuration page. Refer to the printer User's Guide "8.4.1 Confirming Printer
Configuration and Network Settings".
