OS/2 Workstation Configuration OS/2 must use the TCP/IP LPR protocol in order to send jobs to the Ethernet Interface to be printed. This section will explain how to use the LPR command and how to setup 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 EthernetInterface_queue filename NOTE: The name must be the name of an existing destination/queue on the Ethernet Interface and it must be lowercase by default. You will most likely use 'd1prn.' Troubleshooting NOTE: During Power Up, the printer performs an interface hardware test. The presence of the Ethernet Interface menu selections at the printer operator panel indicates that the Ethernet Interface hardware is functioning properly. See the IBM 6400 Line Matrix Printer Setup Guide (S544-5640) for configuration menu information. Check the IP information on both the Ethernet Interface and the OS/2 station for correctness. Make sure the EthernetInterface_queue is actually defined on the Ethernet Interface and that you are spelling it correctly. Using an OS/2 LPR Print Queue This section describes how to setup an OS/2 Warp 4 print queue to print to the Ethernet Interface using the LPR protocol. TCP/IP for OS/2 must be installed on your OS/2 workstation. This procedure is similar to for OS/2 Warp 3 and v2.11. To setup the printer queue: 1. Find the Printer template icon. It may be in the Printers folder or the Templates folder. 2. Right click on the icon then select "Install." The "Create a printer" dialog box is displayed. 2-4 OS/2 Configuration

OS/2 Configuration
OS/2 Workstation Configuration
OS/2 must use the TCP/IP LPR protocol in order to send jobs to the Ethernet
Interface to be printed. This section will explain how to use the LPR command
and how to setup 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
EthernetInterface_queue
filename
NOTE:
The name must be the name of an existing destination/queue on
the Ethernet Interface and it must be lowercase by default. You will
most likely use ‘d1prn.’
Troubleshooting
NOTE:
During Power Up, the printer performs an interface hardware test.
The presence of the Ethernet Interface menu selections at the
printer operator panel indicates that the Ethernet Interface
hardware is functioning properly. See the
IBM 6400 Line Matrix
Printer Setup Guide
(S544–5640) for configuration menu
information.
Check the IP information on both the Ethernet Interface and the OS/2 station for
correctness. Make sure the EthernetInterface_queue is actually defined on the
Ethernet Interface and that you are spelling it correctly.
Using an OS/2 LPR Print Queue
This section describes how to setup an OS/2 Warp 4 print queue to print to the
Ethernet Interface using the LPR protocol. TCP/IP for OS/2 must be installed on
your OS/2 workstation. This procedure is similar to for OS/2 Warp 3 and v2.11.
To setup the printer queue:
1.
Find the Printer template icon. It may be in the Printers folder or the
Templates folder.
2.
Right click on the icon then select “Install.” The “Create a printer” dialog box
is displayed.
