This is in addition to my message below:
I tried one more thing.
I connected another computer running eComstation, and that worked fine. As
far as I can tell, all the settings are exactly the same on all three
computers. Sandy

>>1) Print a page to the printer you have connected to LPT1. This is to
>>make sure LPT1 is working. 2) Connect the "LAN printer" to LPT1 using the
>>cable you plan to use with the SMC. 3) In the properties notebook of the
>>printer object that you are using to do LAN printing, change the port to
>>LPT1.
>>4) Print the same page (to change as few variables at one time as
>>possiblle). 5) If the page doesn't print then the problem is with the
>>printer/cable or maybe the incorrect printer driver. If is prints then
>>the SMC is still not set up correctly. 6) Assuming LPT1 prints, connect
>>the SMC w/o printer to your LAN. Log into the SMC and check status. It
>>should report "printer not ready".
>>7) Connect the printer but don't turn it on. Refresh the SMC - S/B
>>"printer not ready". (abundance of caution)
>>8) Turn the printer on. Refresh - Status should be "printer ready". 9) Go
>>back to the printer object properties and change the port back to
>>\pipe\lpd0 and the LPD printer to lpt1. Make sure the "LPD Server" points
>>to the IP address of the SMC (whatever you used to log onto it with)
>>10) try printing the same page again.

>Hi Sheridan,

>Well, I went thru all the steps on both my desktop (Warp 4, FP 15) and my
>laptop (Warp 4, FP 14). It prints fine connected directly to the computer
>using lpt1. It also prints fine connected to the SMC router when using
>Windows. It is just under OS/2 that the port isn't functioning and I get
>the Printer not responding ... message.

>Is there perhaps something in the Lan TCP/IP configuration settings that
>may need to be tweaked?
