Errors Occur When Defining An LPR Printer

Can you ping the LineJet Print Server from your Windows NT station? If not, refer to the “LineJet Print Server Card Cannot Be Found On The Network” section.

Did you specify the correct IP address or host name for the LineJet Print Server in the first field of the “Add LPR Compatible Printer” box?

Did you specify a valid destination/queue on the LineJet Print Server in the second field of the “Add LPR Compatible Printer” dialogue box? If so, did you also enter it in lowercase letters?

LPR is available only on Windows NT, not on Windows 95 or 98 (unless third party software is added).

Cannot Browse The LineJet Print Server Card On

The Network

Have you looked under the right Windows workgroup? By default, the LineJet Print Server will be found under “WORKGROUP.”

Are you able to browse other Windows stations and devices on the network from this same station?

Has this Windows station been given enough time to update its registry so it can see this newly added workgroup device? Sometimes Windows stations can take considerable time, depending on the size of the network.

Printer Errors When Printing Or No Output

Is there a large job currently printing taking up all of the printer resources? Usually when printing from Windows 95 stations, a busy printer can cause Windows to display a printer error message. This is because it demands immediate printer attention rather than holding the data until the printer is ready again. The best way around this is to use a central spooling station like an NT server.

Have you tried restarting the spooler under “Control Panel:Services”? Sometimes this is needed to get printing started.

Note

As a last resort, you may want to reboot the Windows station. Sometimes

 

this is the only option to completely clear this situation. The LineJet Print

 

Server usually has nothing to do with this problem.
