If the test print doesn’t work

If the test document doesn’t print, follow these steps:

1Check whether the rlp daemon is running. At the UNIX prompt, type ps -e grep rlp

If the process is running, you will see one or more lines of text; if it is not running, you will see no response.

2If rlp is running—that is, you saw one or more lines of text in step 1— kill the process by typing

kill -15process_number_from_step_1

3Make sure the following entry is in the /etc/inetd.conf file:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

This line tells inetd to start the rlp daemon automatically when a print request is made (if it’s not already running).

4Make sure the following entry is in the /etc/services file: printer 515/tcp spooler

5Start inetd by typing the following command at the UNIX prompt:

/etc/inetd -c
