HP 4250 manual Category Security, Action

Level: Critical Error

Category: Security

Description: The PSA was unable to communicate with a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC) (if one is set up) to verify the user's name and password. This means that clients will not be allowed to print because a Domain Controller was not available to verify the user's name and password.

Action:

●Check your WINS server, domain controllers, routers, and other network infrastructure to verify proper set up and operation. Are they plugged in and turned on?

●If you specified automatic discovery of the domain controllers on the Microsoft Network Settings page (in the web interface under Networking), try changing to a list of specific domain controllers on that same page.

●If the DNS server, WINS server, or Domain Controller is not on the same subnet as the PSA, ensure that the TCP/IP configurations, as entered on the TCP/IP and DNS page (in the web interface under Networking), are configured correctly and that the network infrastructure, such as the default gateway, is configured and is operational.

●If the problem persists, try specifying the list of Domain Controllers using IP addresses instead of NetBIOS or DNS names.

Authentication failed -- user authentication via Microsoft networking was unsuccessful (203)
