Only one RPRINTER connection is allowed to service a PSERVER.NLM printer.
•If the PrintNet has logged in to the file server but has not attached to the queue, there may be a permission problem. Make sure the appropriate users have rights to this queue (they should be in the group “everyone.”) Also, you may have to assign the queue to “root” so that is available to everyone.
If none of these help your situation, you may want to try the whole setup again. Completely delete the setup that is giving you trouble and go through the setup again following each step carefully.
NOTE: Be sure to reboot the printer before beginning a new setup and after completing an RPRINTER setup. Wait at least a minute for the Print Server to login and attach to a queue.

The job goes to the queue but nothing prints
If nothing is printing, make sure you have a connection to the PrintNet first. Please see the PSERVER or RPRINTER sections above if you are having
•Does the job leave the queue or is it stuck there indefinitely? If it leaves properly, the problem points to the actual printing mechanism on your Novell system (e.g., CAPTURE, NPRINT, etc.), to the print job format, or to the printer itself. Otherwise, review the configuration steps you’ve already followed.
•Have you confirmed that you can print from the PrintNet to the printer ignoring the Novell setup altogether? Please see start foxtts loopb prn on page 145 for a good test.
•Is anything happening on the printer when the print job is sent? Sometimes, the print job may have arrived at the printer but be waiting for a manual form feed. If this is the case, please see “Set Commands” on page 131 for information on trailer strings.
•Is the printing mechanism you are using (e.g., CAPTURE, NPRINT, etc.) configured to service the appropriate queue?
