The BOOTP server is not responding.

If you chose to use a BOOTP server to assign the printer’s IP address while setting up the printer, but the server is not responding, follow these steps:

1.Check the /etc/bootptab file to verify

m that the lp entry is a valid IP address and that it matches the address in the /etc/hosts file

mthe ha entry is the correct Ethernet address (found on the printer’s startup page) with no colons separating the bytes

mthe ht entry is either ether or ethernet

2.Turn the printer on and off and immediately verify that the bootpd is running. On many UNIX systems, you can accomplish this by typing ps -eor ps -axat the UNIX prompt on the server. If the daemon is not running, type bootpd -t15or consult the UNIX man page on bootpd.

3.Turn the printer off and then back on.

The RARP server is not responding.

If you chose to use a RARP server to assign the printer’s IP address while setting up the printer, but the server is not responding, follow these steps:

1.Make sure that the server running RARP is on the same subnet as the printer.

2.Check the /etc/ethers file to verify that it contains the correct Ethernet address and hostname.

3.Check the /etc/hosts file to verify that it contains a valid IP address and the same hostname as in the /etc/ethers file.

4.Verify that the rarpd daemon is running on the server. On many UNIX systems, you can accomplish this by typing ps -eor ps -axat the UNIX prompt on the server. If the daemon isn’t running, type

/usr/etc/rarpd -a.

5.Turn the printer off and then back on.
