ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. OS/2 Remote Printer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
OS/2 Remote Printer
Use RPRINTER to connect or disconnect a remote printer on a network.
A remote printer can be connected to any workstation. The workstation must then
be attached to the same LAN or interLAN as the print server servicing the
remote printer.
The OS/2 RPRINTER runs as an application in a single OS/2 session. It is not a
terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program like the DOS version.
The OS/2 RPRINTER does not actually direct print jobs to physical ports on the
OS/2 computer. Instead, it directs jobs to OS/2, which then directs jobs to
the physical port. Therefore, OS/2 printing must be properly set up in order
for RPRINTER to work.
