Using Shared Printers

Managing a Shared Printer

If you load Print Station in nonspooling mode, or if print jobs will be

spooled from workstations running OS/2, you should not have messages

sent to the host workstation. Loading Print Station in nonspooling mode

automatically disables Netpopup or Winpopup. If jobs will be spooled from

workstations running OS/2, disable Netpopup or Winpopup manually.

Disabling and Enabling the Printer

You can disable the printer by turning it off or by using the printsta

command. You may need to turn your printer off if it needs to be serviced.

You may want to disable your printer using the printsta /d command if you

need exclusive use of the printer or if you must use the printer locally. The

printer queue continues to accept jobs, but the jobs will not print until you

re-enable the printer.

“Basic Reference.”
