A page fails to print.

Set PRINT PS ERRORS=ON, and then send the job again to print a PS error page. If this does not identify the problem, try turning off Resource Saving and I/O Buffering or try installing more memory (see PCL or PS font list).

A page prints with clipped margins.

If the page margins are clipped, you might have to print the page at 300-dpi resolution or install more memory. Also try turning off Resource Saving and I/O Buffering.

A PS error page prints.

Make sure the print job is a PS job.

Check to see whether your program expected you to send a setup or PS header file to the printer.

Check the printer setup in your software application to make sure that the printer is selected.

Check cable connections to ensure that they are secure.

Reduce the complexity of the graphic.

Add available memory by turning on Resource Saving.

A text listing of PS commands prints instead of your PS print job.

The control-panel PERSONALITY=AUTO setting might have been confused by a nonstandard PS code. Check the PERSONALITY setting to see if it is set to PS or PCL. If it is set to PCL, set it to PERSONALITY=AUTO. If it is set to AUTO, set it to PS for this print job only. When the job has printed, return the setting to AUTO.

Attempted to use a disk-resident font, but the printer substituted a different font.

If you are using PCL, print the PCL Font Page, and verify that the font is on the disk. If you are using PS, print the PS Font Page and make sure that the font is on the disk. If the font is not on the disk, use the Device Storage Manager or the Macintosh-based HP LaserJet utility to download the font.

Auto setup did not automatically set up the printer.

Set up the printer manually by selecting Configure (Windows 9.X and NT) or Device Settings (Windows 2000 and XP).
