Chapter 8 OS/2 Workstation Configuration 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. 178
