- For printing from Word for Windows to a remote UNIX printer:
-
- 1) In OS/2 install a printer that corresponds to the type of printer you will
- target on the UNIX system, ie postscript. Target this printer to one of
- the LPTn ports such as LPT2.
- 2) Assuming you have the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 package, set environment
- variables specifying the Unix system and printer names as directed in the
- documentation for LPR. Change your TCPSTART.CMD file to issue "DETACH
- LPRMON LPTn" where LPTn is the same as the one chosen in 1) above. Add
- this line after all of the other daemons are started.
- 3) Install the same printer in WINOS2 that you installed for OS/2. Using the
- Windows printer setup dialog assign the printer to port "LPTn.OS2" where
- LPTn is the same as the one chosen in 1) above.
- 4) Print your document.
