Create a Print Queue

OS/2 Version 1.x
Axis NPS 550 User's Manual
Each Axis print server port will be seen as a print queue destination by the
OS/2 Print Manager. Print queue destinations are referred to as devices in
OS/2 version 1.x and ports in version 2.x. They appear as pipe names, e.g.
\PIPE\AX100086.LP1, etc. Assigning Axis print server ports as print
queue destinations follow the standard procedures under OS/2. The
procedures are identical for LAN Server and LAN Manager, but differ
between OS/2 versions 1.x and 2.x as shown below.
The examples below demonstrate how to create a new print queue and
assign it to an NPS 550 printer port. Alternatively, you may re-direct an
existing queue to an NPS 550 port.
The print queue assignment under OS/2 version 1.x requires two
operations – the definition of a printer, and the definition of one or more
print queues for that printer. Follow these steps to create a print queue
and assign it to an NPS 550 printer port:
1. Double-click the Print Manager icon.
2. Click the Setup menu option, then select Printers...
3. Click Add to make a new printer definition.
4. Type a printer name in the Name field.
5. Select a Device (a pipe name, e.g. \PIPE\AX100086.LP1).
6. Select a printer driver suitable for the printer attached to the NPS 550.
7. Click Add, then click OK to confirm the new printer definition.
8. Click the Setup menu option, then select Queues...
9. Click Add to make a new print queue definition.
10.Type a queue name in the Name field (preferably the printer name
assigned above).
11.Select the previously defined printer.
12.Click Add, then click OK to confirm the new queue definition.
