That's the one. How many files you find depends on what you have
installed. My actually contains 400 files.

What's supposed to work is:

prndrv -d "LASERJET.HP LaserJet Series II"

Is that how you used the command?

Select os2sys.in and use Find -> Any Key Value and do a case insensitive
search for something like "optra" or whatever you are interested in.

Those can handled easily when you have backups in place.

>I'll be needing some of those other ways.

You can do manually to os2sys.ini what prndrv does automatically. I'm
still not convinced that prndrv can't do the job for you.

>Settings ? How, where ?

os2sys.ini.

Mozilla includes chatzilla and you will need to open up the irc ports.
Port 6667 is the default. Many servers support additional ports in the
6660-6669 range. Any port other than 0 is legal according to the RFC, but
ports outside the above range are rarely used. Try to connect to
irc.webbnet.org. There's almost always someone on the #voice channel or
the #os/2 channel.
