DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENTE-32 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE5. Ensure that the Device name selected on the Device list is theIPS printer you defined previously.6. Select Setup. The printer queue is created on the OS/2desktop.7. To make this queue available to other users on the LAN, followthe procedures documented in either the Installation Cookbookfor AS/400 or the Installation Cookbook for S/370.Note: Once the OS/2 Printer Queue object has been created on theDesktop, do not attempt to alter its values using its Settings dialog.Return to the PSF/f2 folder and the Control Panel to make anynecessary changes.5. Test the printer connection in OS/2Test the printer by one of the following methods to ensure OS/2 canmake a connection with it:• Ping the printer from your OS/2 system to ensure the OS/2 canestablish a connection with the TCP/IP-attached IPS.• To verify that the OS/2 system can pass output to the printer,send a short ASCII text file from the host through PSF to printon the IPS. (Refer to your IPS Guide to Configuring andManaging the System for printing procedures.)Pinging the printer – OS/2 To ping the printer, enter the following command on an OS/2command line:PING ip-addressip-address specifies the internet protocol (IP) address of the IPSprinter (refer to the configuration worksheet, earlier in this section).If your ping is successful:Note: A successful ping usually indicates that the OS/2 system cancommunicate with the IPS. However, you could receive a successfulping even if the IP address of the TCP/IP-attached printer is aduplicate of another IP address.Table E-25.Parameters for PSF/2 device definitionItem description Default Source of value Comments Your valueQueue Name None Your choice Internal name of queueQueue Description None Your choice Appears under the iconon the OS/2 Desktopas the name of the IPSprinter queue.Table E-26.Example of a successful ping – OS/2EZA0458I Ping V3R1: Pinging host 9.99.12.33(Use ATTN to interrupt)EZA0463I PING: Ping #1 response took 0.084 seconds.Successes so far = 1.
