OS/2 Workstation Configuration
178
Mandatory Settings
The Ethernet Interface must be configured with an IP address and
subnet mask, at a minimum. Consult your network administrator to
obtain the proper values for these parameters.
Optional Settings
One additional setting, the gateway address, is necessary if the
OS/2 workstations must communicate with the Ethernet Interface
across a router. Consult your network administrator to obtain the
proper value for this parameter. To configure these options, see
“Configuration Tools” on page 32.
OS/2 Workstation Configuration
OS/2 must use the TCP/IP LPR protocol in order to send print jobs
to the Ethernet Interface. This section explains how to use the LPR
command and how to set up an OS/2 print queue (which will
forward jobs to the printer using the LPR protocol).
Using The LPR Command
At an OS/2 command prompt, enter:
lpr -s ip_address -p Ethernet Interface_queue
filename
where
Ethernet Interface_queue
is the name of an existing
destination/queue on the Ethernet Interface, and it must be
lowercase by default. You will most likely use
d1prn
. If the IPDS
feature is installed, queue name
d4prn
is not available.
Troubleshooting
Check the IP information on both the Ethernet Interface and the
OS/2 station for correctness. Make sure the Ethernet
Interface_queue is actually defined on the Ethernet Interface and
that you are spelling it correctly.
