LAN Server/OS/2 Warp Server Configuration

As Brother print servers support the SMB protocol over TCP/IP via a NetBIOS interface, you
can easily configure your printer to work with an IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server
networks that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the fileserver. Use the following
procedure to configure the LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server or OS/2 Warp connect
workstation.

Workstation Configuration:

On each workstation that you wish to print from, execute the following step:
Go to the DOS or OS/2 command prompt and enter the command:
NET USE LPTx: \\NodeName\ServiceName
where "x" is the LPT port number (1 through 9), NodeName is the NetBIOS Name of the
print server (BRN_xxxxxx by default, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of Ethernet
address ) and ServiceName is the service name of the Print Server (BINARY_P1 by default).
For example:
NET USE LPT2: \\BRN_310107\BINARY_P1
Note
You can find the NetBIOS name and MAC address by printing out the printer configuration
page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page
on your print server.
Open the Templates folder on the OS/2 desktop.
Using the right mouse button, drag the Printer template onto the desktop.
Type in any desired name for the printer from the Create a Printer window.
Choose an unused port (for example, LPT3) to connect to the printer.
Choose the appropriate printer driver from the list.
Click Create and then OK.
If desired, indicate whether you want to share the printer.
