Contents ----------- 1.0 Supported OS/2 versions 2.0 Supported Printers 3.0 Installing USB print support 4.0 Uninstall Instructions 5.0 WSoD installation instructions 6.0 Copyright and Trademark Information 1.0 Supported OS/2 versions --------------------------- USB print support is designed to work with OS/2 Warp 3 with FixPak35, OS/2 Warp 4 with Fixpak6, WSoD v2.0 with FixPak11, Warp Server for e-business or later levels. 2.0 Supported Printers ---------------------- USB print support for OS/2 is designed to serve all the USB printer class devices which meet USB printer specifications. This software package is tested on the following USB printer devices: o Hewlett Packard DeskJet 895Cse o Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4050 (with USB I/O card) o Lexmark Optra E310 o Lexmark Optra S1855 (with USB EIO card) o Lexmark Z51 o Epson Stylus Color 740 o Epson Stylus Color 900 o Epson Stylus Color 1200 o Brother HL-1240 o Brother HL-1250 o Brother HL-2060 o Xerox P1202 o Xerox DocuPrint P8ex 3.0 Installing/upgrading USB print support -------------------------------- The USBPRTEN.EXE** file contains the following USB print support files in a self-extracting compressed format: o README.TXT The file that you are reading o USBUHCD.SYS USB host controller device driver o USBD.SYS USB device driver o USBPRT.SYS USB physical printer driver o USBMON.EXE USB Auto Monitor Executable o TSTUHCD.EXE USB host controller presence check routine o USBPRT.DDP USB physical driver stack installation profile o USBPRT.PDR USB Printer Port driver o USBPRT.HLP USB Printer Port driver help file o RSPDDI.EXE Physical device driver installation utility o CLEANUP.CMD Command file that deletes all USB print support files from installation directory to release disk space after installation **NOTE: The file name is language dependent, USBPRTEN.EXE is the English version name. Alternate packaging does not include USB base stack drivers USBUHCD.SYS, USBD.SYS. Base stack in this case must be installed prior to USB print support installation. To expand the USB print support installation files: 1. Create a temporary work directory on hard disk (use MKDIR command) and open it (CD command). 2. From the newly created temporary work directory created in step 1. Type "G:\OPTIONS\USBPRINT\USBPRTEN" (without quotes) to expand the files (replace G:\OPTIONS\USBPRINT\ with current drive\path where USBPRTEN resides). To install/upgrade USB printer support: 1. Open the existing (or create new) printer object properties window. 2. Select the "Output Port" page. 3. Select the "Install new port" button (click the right mouse button on LPT1 port icon and select the "Install..." menu option to open the dialog for the print object). 4. When the "Install New Port" dialog opens, Sselect the "New port drivers" radio button and type the full path to the expanded port driver in the "Directory" edit box. 5. Select "Refresh" , afterwards choose the USB port. 6. Select "Install" to install the port. NOTE: Use the DDINSTAL utility from OS/2 command line to reinstall physical drivers if notified about install failure during automated install. 7. Shutdown and restart your operating system if prompted to do so from the previous step. 4.0 Uninstall Instructions --------------------------- To uninstall the USB print support: 1. Open the print object and delete all the USB printer ports, disable spooler and delete USBPRT.PDR and USBPRD.HLP files from OS2\DLL\ directory. 2. Delete lines containing USB physical driver names - USBUHCD, USBD, USBPRT from CONFIG.SYS file. NOTE: Do not delete USBUHCD and USBD lines from CONFIG.SYS if other USB device drivers are in use. 3. Delete USBUHCD.SYS, USBD.SYS and USBPRT.SYS files from \os2\boot\ directory and USBMON.EXE file from \os2\ directory. NOTE: Do not delete USBUHCD.SYS and USBD.SYS files if other USB device drivers are in use. 4. Delete the "Auto Monitor" object from the "Startup" folder. 5. Shutdown and restart your operating system. 5.0 WSoD installation instructions ---------------------------------- USB print support package consists of 2 separate components: 1) physical device drivers and auto monitor support utility (files USBUHCD.SYS, USBD.SYS, USBPRT.SYS, USBMON.EXE); 2) port driver (USBPRT.PDR, USBPRT.HLP). In order to make physical drivers and utility operational, USBUHCD.SYS, USBD.SYS, USBPRT.SYS files must be available in the requester's (client workstation) \os2\boot directory and the utility - in the requester's \os2\ directory. CONFIG.SYS file on the requester must contain the following lines: BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /REQ:USBUHCD$ DEVICE=:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS Port driver files USBPRT.PDR and USBPRT.HLP must be available in the requester's \OS2\DLL directory and the requester OS2SYS.INI file must contain USBPRT key with the value :\OS2\DLL\USBPRT.PDR for the application PM_PORT_DRIVER. See the detailed instructions below how to do it. Auto monitor feature is enabled through a startup item for USBMON.EXE with the parameter USBPRT for each requester. One of possible scenarios to enable USB print support for WSoD is the following (assuming that WSoD related information is located on the server's drive F: directory \IBMLAN\RPL and the requester boot driver letter is Z:): 1) stop RPL server - type the command "NET STOP RPL" (without quotes) in OS/2 command window on the server. 2) copy port driver files (USBPRT.PDR, USBPRT.HLP) to the \IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2\DLL directory with the following commands: COPY A:\USBPRT.PDR F:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2\DLL /B COPY A:\USBPRT.HLP F:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2\DLL /B Remember: use the WSoD server's drive letter instead of F: if needed. 3) copy physical driver files to the \IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2\BOOT directory: COPY A:\USBPRT.SYS F:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2\BOOT /B COPY A:\USBD.SYS F:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2\BOOT /B COPY A:\USBUHCD.SYS F:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2\BOOT /B Remember: use the WSoD server's drive instead of F: if needed. This must be done even you have USB support already installed because you need to update USB Base drivers. Print support may not work with the previous versions of USB Base drivers. All previously installed USB devices will work with the new USB Base drivers. 4) copy the auto monitor executable to the \IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2 directory: COPY A:\USBMON.EXE F:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB20.US\OS2\ /B Remember: use the WSOD server's drive letter instead of F: if needed. 5) update CONFIG.SYS file for each WSOD requester equipped with USB host hardware. CONFIG.SYS file for requester with a name 'machine_name' resides in F:\IBMLAN\RPL\MACHINES\machine_name directory. Use E text editor to add lines BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /REQ:USBUHCD$ DEVICE=Z:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS at the bottom of CONFIG.SYS file. If you already have USB support installed, then you must add only the following line to CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=Z:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS Remember: use the requester's boot drive letter instead of Z: if needed. 6) add USBPRT key to the application PM_PORT_DRIVER in OS2SYS.INI file for each USB enabled user. User's INI file for "user_name" resides in the F:\IBMLAN\RPLUSER\user_name directory. Use INIEDIT utility to add USBPRT key - open OS2SYS.INI file (use the "File"->"Other..." menu item to open the user specific OS2SYS.INI file), open the PM_PORT_DRIVER application INI file entries, create a new key (select the "Edit"->"Add..." menu item and fill in the "Key" field in the opened dialog). Open this key item and set its value to Z:\OS2\DLL\USBPRT.PDR in ASCII entry box, select the "Null Terminated" checkbox. Remember: use the requester's boot drive letter instead of Z: if needed. 7) re-create RPL images: type the command "GETRPL" (without quotes) in OS/2 command window on the server. 8) start RPL server: type the command "NET START RPL" (without quotes) in OS/2 command window on the server. After booting the requester will have USB Print support enabled. 6.0 Copyright and Trademark Information ---------------------------------------- The following terms are trademarks of International Business Machines Corporation in the United States, or other countries, or both.
