OS/2 installation instructions
NOTE: Installation procedures differ depending on whether or not a
printer object does or does not exist on the OS/2 Desktop being
used. Use the instructions that match the Desktop.
Installing a printer in OS/2 when a printer object does not appear on the computer’s
desktop
NOTE: Use this procedure if the OS/2 Desktop does not have a printer
object. A system can have this configuration if no printer was
selected during OS/2 installation, or all the print objects have
been deleted from the Desktop.
To create a printer object and install a printer driver use the following procedures:
1. Open the templates folder that is located in OS/2 system folder after OS/2
installation.
2. Select the Printer template. Press and hold the right mouse button.
3. Drag the template to Desktop.
4. Release the right mouse button.
5. Type a name for the printer in the Name field.
6. Select a port to which the printer is connected.
7. Click Install new printer driver. A window appears with a list of the printer
drivers that are shipped with O/S2.
8. Click Other printer driver.
9. Point to the downloaded printer drivers.
10. Click Refresh. Wait until the window fills with printer drivers.
11. Select one or more drivers by clicking the left mouse button over the desired
driver.
12. Click Install.
Installing a printer in OS/2 when a printer object does appear on your desktop
NOTE: If the old 16-bit HP LaserJet driver is installed on a system,
delete it before installing this driver.
Use these directions if a printer object does exist on the OS/2
desktop, but you do not have the correct printer driver installed
on the system. This could happen if a different printer was added
to the system.
