Creating an LPR queue in OS/2 Warp Connect (direct LPR connection to the printer)
			 |

OS/2 Warp Connect allows you to print directly to Xerox printers via LPR (no server).  
   NOTE
 
 
It is important that LPRPORTD.EXE and LPD.EXE be running in the background.  You can set these to run automatically from the 
Autostart
 tab of the 
TCP/IP Configuration
 dialog box. 
  
 
- 
 
Create a 
Printer Object.  To do this, use the right mouse button to drag the 
Printer
 template from the 
Templates
 folder to the desktop; this displays the 
Create a Printer
 dialog box.
 
- 
 
In the 
Create Printer
 dialog box, enter the name of the printer.  
 
- 
 
If the driver is already installed, select the appropriate driver;  if the driver is not installed, you must install it: 
 
- 
 
Click 
Install new printer driver; this displays the 
Install new printer driver
 dialog box.  
 
- 
 
In the 
Printer Driver Selection
 section, select 
Other OS/2 printer driver,
 then specify the path to the driver.  For example:  
 
- 
 
Click 
Refresh, then select the new driver from the list.  Click 
Install
  and follow the on-screen prompts.
 
 
- 
 
Click the right mouse button on an available 
Pipe
 port (
0
 through 
7
) and select 
Settings
 from the menu; the 
Settings
 dialog box is displayed.  If ports are not selectable or are unavailable, follow these steps:
 
- 
 
Select 
Install Ports
 from 
Settings
 and enter 
C:\TCPIP\DLL
 where appropriate.  You will only have to do this if no printers were specified when TCP/IP was installed.
 
- 
 
This is where the ports that were not available can be selected: 
Lpt1-3, 
Com 1-4, and 
Pipe 0-7.
 
- 
 
Once ports are installed, select a 
Pipe, such as 
Pipe 1, then double-click this port.
 
 
- 
 
In the 
Print Destination
 section, make the following entries:
 
- 
 
LPD server.
  The printer's IP address.
 
- 
 
LPD printer. 
 The printer's name.  The printer's name should be either 
PS
 or 
AUTO
 in uppercase letters.  It is recommended that you leave everything else blank. 
 
 
 
 
To return to the 
Create Printer
 dialog box, click 
OK; then click 
Create. 
- 
 
Set the printer as your default printer:
 
- 
 
Click the right mouse button on the printer object.
 
- 
 
Click 
Set default, then select the new printer object.
