I have a Brother 6050DN laserjet network printer running as a shared 
printer on my ethernet network with OS/2 MCP2.  It works fine and is 
accessible from every wired and wireless device.  To set it up I did the 
following:

  1) Create a printer object for the new printer.  In one of their last 
printer paks, IBM supplied a laserjet driver for the Brother 5050 
printer that works fine with the 6050DN printer.
  2) Install the slpr.pdr port from the printer object.  IBM supplied 
this in a "SLPR.EXE" package.
  3) Put the TCP/IP address for the printer in the "LPD Server" entry 
for the slpr dialong box.  I left the "*" in the "LPD Printer" entry.
  4) EDIT the TCPSTART.CMD file (in TCPIP/BIN folder) to remove the 
'rem' for the lines:

  rem start lpd
  rem echo     ..... LP Daemon Started

  After doing the above, any job printed on the new printer object will 
go to the printer at the tcp/ip address entered from any computer on the 
network, either wired or wireless.
