• OS/2 printing

    From johnsuth@nospam.com.au@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 23 00:05:25 2018
    My Konica/Minolta/QMS Magicolor 7450 has been working happily with OS/2 for 10 years. Now I want it to work with AOS.

    It seems that AOS printing uses original IBM software, so I tried using the same
    settings in OS/2 and AOS, but without success.

    Looking at the myriad of parameters:-

    The printer web server has fields for names, but I never filled them.
    I chose the same legacy OS/2 printer driver. (CUPS has nothing like my printer)
    I identified the printer to the WPS as Magicolor.
    That was truncated to Magicolo for the Physical name and Spool name.
    I identified the SLPR1 port as IP:RAW.
    In TCPconfig notebook I identified the print server by IP and the printer as Magicolor. This was copied to config.sys.

    Have I missed any settings?

    What alternative settings should I try.

    SOLVED in SLPR1 Port Properties> Performance

    In OS/2 neither radio button was selected.
    In AOS, High performance was selected and could not be blanked.
    Selecting LPRPORTD compatible enabled printing.

    What alternative settings should I try.
