3. Select the print queue associated with the OkiLAN
6020e.
OS/2 applications that use the default printer will
now print to the printer attached to the OkiLAN
6020e.
The OS/2 print screen function uses the OS/2 default
printer. This function is invoked when you press the
Print Screen key while on the desktop, in an OS/2
window, or when you are running an OS/2
application.
4. Press Print Screen on your keyboard. A copy of
your screen will appear on the appropriate printer.
DOS and WIN-OS/2
DOS and WIN-OS/2 do not observe the OS/2
Presentation Manager default printer setting. Both DOS
and WIN-OS/2 applications typically use LPT1 as the
default printer. To use the newly defined print queue as
a DOS or WIN-OS/2 printer, you must assign a DOS or
WIN-OS/2 device name to the desired queue.
Example:
If the OkiLAN 6020e is installed on a server
named SERVER 1 and assigned the queue name
MPXLPT, the following command issued from an
OS/2 command prompt would reassign LPT1:
C>NET USE LPT1 \\Server1\MPXLPT
If OS/2 does not recognize the network name,
enter the following command from an OS/2
prompt on the server where the software utilities
were installed:
C>NET SHARE MPXLPT /PRINT
Any applications using LPT1 will now print to the
OkiLAN 6020e.
