from either the OS/2 command prompt or from a DOS workstation:
7. COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS \\servername\alias
8. Where servername is the name of the file server and alias is the alias
name that you specified during this configuration process. This should
print the CONFIG.SYS file on the printer. Note that if you selected a
binary service as the LPD printer name, the lines will be staggered; don't
worry about this because normal DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications
will print OK.
The Brother print server name (from the HOSTS file) or
its IP address.
For most applications, use the Brother print server 'binary'
service BINARY_P1. However, if you are printing text
files from the DOS or OS/2 command prompt, you should
use the text service TEXT_P1, which will add carriage
returns for proper formatting of the data (but will
potentially distort graphics printouts).
The IP name of the OS/2 file server
The IP address of the OS/2 file server
Should be same as the printer name
previously defined
Anything you want
