OK, try these instructions:

1) open the templates folder and drag a printer object to the desktop.
2) in the dialog box that comes up automatically, under Name replace "Printer" with the name you want
for this printer.
3) LMC on 'Install new printer driver'
4) in the new dialog box find your printer or select 'Other OS/2 printer driver', insert a floppy with
the driver, and install the driver.
5) DLMC on \pipe\lpd0
6) in the new dialog box:
6a) under 'Print Destination' for 'LPD server' type in the SMC's IP address (192.168.nnn.254).
6b) for 'LPD printer' type in lp (lower case LP).
6c) LMC on OK
7) If you want this printer as the default printer select (LMC) it as the default printer.
8) LMC on Create

You now have a printer object that points to the SMC's printer port. Before it can be used the
printer redirection software needs to be started. That is done in the TCP/IP configuration notebook.

1) Open the TCP/IP Configuration notebook (LAN). (The icon for mine is in Programs\TCP/IP Internet
(LAN) folder.)
2) Select the 'Autostart' tab.
3) About the middle of the list is 'lprportd'. Select it. Click on 'Autostart service' to enable it.
Make sure 'detached' is selected.
4) Close the notebook.
5) Reboot.

Choose a document to print. You can drag the icon of the document to be printed and put it on top of
the printer icon or from an application print to this printer (making sure it is the selected printer
if you have different default printer on your system).

Good luck.
