LAN Server/OS/2 Warp Server Configuration As Brother 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 (BINARY_P1 by default).

NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 8
LAN Server/OS/2 Warp Server Configuration
As Brother 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 (BINARY_P1
by default).
For example:
