I need to know how to set up OS2 to allow it to print to a network. What settings, etc? I have a printer that has its own IP address and is connected through a network. My tool running OS2 software is also on the network. What I am trying to accomplish is setting up OS2 on the tool so that it will print to the network printer and not through serial/parallel ports. If any body knows how to do this could they please email me a procedure. Please email me if you need further clarification. Thanks very much Andrew.

I have never done that myself, but there is a headline in the tcp/ip configuration notebook that is called "printing". I guess you can specify printeradress and so on there.

If you go into the Printers folder, create a shadow of "Network Printer". If you're running your printer on a print server, I'm not quite sure what to do as I've not done that m'self.

Hi

It seems that what you need is LPR printing.

If this is still a problem, please feel free to e-mail me, and I'll try to guide your through.
