4.0 Printing: Adding a Second 

Brother LPR Port

You do not need to re-run the install program to add a new Brother 
LPR port. Instead, click the Start button, select Settings, and open 
the Printers window. Click on the icon of the printer that you wish to 
configure, select File from the menu bar, and then choose 
Properties. Click on the Ports tab and click the Add Port button. In 
the Printer Ports dialog, highlight Brother LPR Port. Click the New 
Port button and enter the port name. The default port name is BLP1. 
If you have already used this name, you will get an error message if 
you try to use it again, in which case use BLP2, etc... Once you have 
specified the port name, click the OK button. You will then see the 
Port Settings dialog.

Enter the IP address of the printer that you wish to print to and click 
OK. And then click Close in the Printer Ports dialog. You should 
now see the port that you have just created in the Print to the 
following port(s) setting of the printer driver.

LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server Configuration

Brother print servers will work with IBM LAN Server, OS/2 Warp 
Server networks that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the 
file server (TCP/IP is supplied as standard with LAN Server V4.0 and 
later as well as Warp Server). Use the following procedure to 
configure the print server on an LAN Server or OS/2 Warp Server file 
server, or on an OS/2 Warp Connect workstation:

Server Configuration

Make sure that TCP/IP software is installed on your OS/2 file server. 
If you have not already done so, open the TCP/IP folder on the 
desktop, and double click on the TCP/IP Configuration icon to add 
the IP address to the OS/2 file server (consult your system manager 
for this address).

Refer to chapter 10 for information on how to assign an IP address 
to the printer.
