SUMMARY
=======
To print to a Microsoft Windows NT shared printer from a Microsoft OS/2 version
1.3 workstation, you must set up a printer in the OS/2 Print Manager with the
device pointing to the LPT port to which you have redirected your shared
printer.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you try to print from an OS/2 program, such as File Manager, to a printer
shared from a Windows NT machine, you get an error such as:
Cannot print. Make sure that the default printer is installed and connected
properly. Then try again (PMV1051).
In OS/2 Print Manager, set up a printer that points to the device you have
redirected your print jobs to, and is selected as the default printer for
Presentation Manager applications.
Procedure:
1. Net Use LPT2: \\Server\Printer1
2. In OS/2 Print Manager, choose Setup/Printer/Add.
3. Setup Printer with Device=LPT2, choose the IBMNULL driver.
4. DO NOT set up a queue for this printer.
5. In OS/2 Print Manager, choose Setup/Application Defaults.
6. Select 'Printer1' as the default printer for Presentation Manager
applications.
