AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is the tool to use for NetBIOS/NetBEUI
printing in OS/2 environments. This tool can be fetched from
www.axis.com => Software => Discontinued products. Install this utility
if you have not already done so.
If you want to change the default name or any of the Axis Network Print
Server default parameters, you can do so using any standard Web
browser.
Refer to Section 11 Management and Configuration, on page 127, for
more information.
The AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is not needed on the client platforms
when using a client-server configuration.
AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is an application for NetBIOS/NetBEUI
printing in the OS/2 environment. Its allows you to:
• Install and maintain the Axis Network Print Server printer ports as OS/2
printer ports.
• Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the Axis Network Print
Server ports.
Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local
hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server mode).
The printer port status of your Axis Network Print Server can be
monitored and pop-up notification messages can be generated, keeping
you informed of completed print jobs or any problem condition.
Notes:
• The NetBEUI protocol must be active. If not, use MPTS/LAPS (LAN Server) or SETUP (LAN
Manager) to activate it.
• If you are using OS/2 version 2.x and wish to print through TCP/IP, we recommend that
you use the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 product. It supports the LPD and interactive FTP print
methods.
