Print using LPR command from the Command Line

When printing from the OS/2 command line the command LPR
can be used.

LPR -b -s<server> -p<queue> <file>

Example: Type the following line to print the file config.sys
from the command line, using the default pre-configured queue
name (PAR_B) from the print server.

LPR -b -s192.168.0.227 -ppar_b config.sys

8.2.3.

Print from WIN-OS/2 using the LPRMON command

The LPRMON command is used to monitor one of the parallel
ports LPT1 - LPT3 and to redirect print data from the parallel
port to the TCP/IP LPD port. If you want to print from WIN-
OS/2, and you do not have the DOS/Windows TCP/IP access
kit, you can use the LPRMON command.

LPRMON -b -s<server> -p<queue> LPT<n>

Example: Type the following command to redirect the LPT3
port to the TCP/IP LPD port.

LPRMON -b -s192.168.0.227 -ppar_b LPT3
