OS/2 parameters
This section describes the process and parameters to configure an
OS/2 system to communicate with and print to your IPS printer using
TCP/IP. This information applies both to Token Ring and Ethernet
LANs.

Software prerequisites – OS/2
In an OS/2 system, in order to print on a TCP/IP-attached IPS directly
through PSF, you need the following software:
through PSF, you need the following software:
•
OS/2, Version 2.11 or higher
•
PSF/2, Version 2.00 or higher
•
TCP/IP For OS/2, Version 2.0 or higher
The following may be required, depending on your PSF/2
configuration:
