    432432Click on install printer driver, click on "other printer driver location" and type in where you put the eCUPS printer driver (I suggested \OS2\DLL\CUPS earlier) - then press the refresh key. all the printers in the CUPS file will now appear, scroll down and select the printer driver for your printer (or a near model), and press Install.

    436436Press OK to load the driver. Now change the printer name field to something reasonable from "printer" that is currently in the field and press the create key and your printer object will be created and the install dialog will close (but you haven't finished yet ....).

    440440Open the properties of your new printer object and select the "printer driver" tab, make sure the new driver is highlighted in both boxes.[[BR]]
    … …  
    442442Now press on the "output port" tab and press install new port:

    445445
    446446Because you put the eCUPS Port Driver into OS2\DLL earlier, you will now get a whole lot of CUPS drivers to chose from - simply highlight CUPS1 and press "install"

    450450Double click the new port driver and you will get its configuration panel - this is where we link the OS/2 print system to the CUPS print system! - The first field says "localhost" we will leave that as it is as the printer is connected to this PC - if it was connected to CUPS running on another PC, you could put that PCs IP address or hostname in here. What is important is the second field - this is the name of the printer within the CUPS configuration - you'll see I have loaded up the CUPS web admin page in manage printer to show you this - in this case the name is "HP_Officejet_6300_series". Press "save properties" and close the printer setup panels and you are finished. just to prove this ....
