Troubleshooting

Check to see if the print queue has been disabled. If the queue is enabled but your job is not in it, a workstation problem has prevented the job from entering the print queue. Check the workstation.

Check the print queue contents using the PCONSOLE command.

If the printer has not logged in (determined by using the USERLIST (3.x) or NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x) command), check the printers display panel for error messages.

Verify that names were defined according to the instructions for installation.

Verify that the correct frametype is chosen under the menu selection PORTS:IPX of the display panel. The file server and printer must use the same frametype.

Verify that CAPTURE has been run for the appropriate parallel port.

NT Installations

On NT systems, you may encounter corruption of data when printing files over 5 Mbytes. Color bands may appear across the printed image. This condition can be corrected by setting up server properties to accept the entire print job before passing the file on to the printer. For Windows NT 3.51 for workstations and servers “Job Prints While Spooling” must be deselected. For Windows NT 4.0 for workstations and servers “StarPrinting After Last Page Spooled” must be selected.

Some systems such as Windows NT come with Kodak drivers provided by Microsoft. If you use these drivers, you may encounter problems. Be sure to install drivers provided by Kodak. When in doubt, refer to the Kodak web site for availability and the latest versions of drivers. Refer to “Getting Help”for information on how to access the Kodak web site.

You may encounter problems if you install drivers on remote workstations by downloading them from an NT server.
