Data Transfer
Printer doesn’t generate a print
Be sure your printer is connected to the port to which you are sending the file.
If you are printing over a network, you will need to determine whether the problem is in the network. Try connecting the printer directly to your computer and send the file again.
Parallel printing doesn’t work
Some UNIX workstations have difficulty communicating with the printer using a parallel connection. Try connecting the printer to the network using a network interface box.
