             NETWORK PRINTING UNDER OS/2
================================================================

Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
----------------------------------------------------------------


1.  Type NET USE to check your print mapping.  This does
    the following:

        a. If the requester is not started, it will start it.

        b. If your not logged on, you are prompted to.

        c. It gives your share mappings to determine if you're
           properly setup.


2. If you get an error message during NET USE, make sure the LAN
   loaded properly.  Type:

                TYPE LANTRAN.LOG


   Look through the logfile for errors.  If none appear, type:

                NET ERROR /REVERSE

   to see the latest error message. Refer to LAN documentation
   for descriptions of LAN error messages.


3. Check the OS/2 print object to see if it is setup properly.
   If you are using a Network Print Object, the mapping should be
   fine since the NET USE was verified.  If you are using a Local
   Print Object, go into the Print Object Settings and verify the
   port under the Port tab.


4. Check to make sure the printer driver you are using matches
   the one used on the server.  If using a Network Print Object,
   it automatically matches.  If using a Local Print Object,
   verify if the one selected in the Printer Driver tab
   is correct.  This can cause many problems.


5. If the problem has to do with the print job disappearing from
   the queue and you have either CM/2 or DB/2 installed, edit the
   CONFIG.SYS on the requester and change the following line:

         From: RUN=C:\OS2\EPW.EXE
         To:   REM RUN=C:\OS2\EPW.EXE



    Edit the STARTUP.CMD and add the following line:

        DETACH C:\OS2\EPW.EXE.


6. If using an HP printer, try setting the data stream to Printer
   Specific.  Open the Settings for the Print object and at the
   Queue Options tab, select Printer Specific.


7. If using a 4033 device, make sure you have the latest
   version of the drivers.  You can get them from Lexmark.




OS/2 LAN Server/Requestor under WIN-OS/2:


1. Verify all of the previous steps.

2. Make sure you are using LPTx.OS2 as the port and not LPTx:.
   LPTx:  is for printing straight to hardware rather than a LAN
   redirected port.


3. Make sure the correct printer driver is chosen to match the
   printer being printed to.



4. Make sure Use Print Manager has an 'X' in the check box.



5. Under Connect make sure the check box for Fast Printing
   Direct to Port is NOT selected.
