  * Install UNI.PDR (to \OS2\DLL)
  * Create a new port of type UNI.
- * Edit the port properties.  We need to send the print job through two programs: GhostScript, followed by whatever command actually sends the job to the printer.  Unfortunately, UniPdr doesn't seem to support piping the job through multiple programs, so you have to write a REXX script (or something similar) which does the work.

 It may also be possible to print to a local (LPT/COM/USB) printer using the OS/2 'print' command or somesuch program, but I haven't tried this.
