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:
