Obtaining Printer Status for Redirected Ports
You can obtain printer status for each redirected port on your
workstation by typing the RSTAT command appropriate to your
network protocol at the OS/2 command line
For TCP/IP, type
RSTAT.
For NetBEUI, type
RSTAT3.
If several ports are redirected, RSTAT returns a message similar
to the following:
ITC Remote Print Servers active for LPT1—Printer Busy
ITC Remote Print Servers active for LPT2—Printer Ready
ITC Remote Print Servers active for LPT3—Printer Ready
Setting Up Piping to the EPL-N2000
To set up piping to one or more EPL-N2000 printers, first create
a remote print service directory (EPNET) on your workstation’s
root directory and copy the EPL-N2000 piping software to it.
Then configure the new printers for use with remote print
service, as follows:
Define a port in the remote print service directory for each
EPL-N2000 to which you want to pipe output.
Create an initialization file that identifies each EPL-N2000 by
portname and serial number, then add the initialization file
to the STARTUP.CMD in your workstation’s root directory.
Use NET ADMIN to add the newly configured printers to
the list of shared resources.
