Troubleshooting

No answer from <printername>

If you are using the 10BaseT port and have nonstandard cabling such as AT&T or HP STARLAN, you may need to disable link integrity. Refer to "Disabling the Link Test Integrity Function" in the “Installing the Hardware” section for instructions.

You can ping the printer but cannot print.

The problem is with the lpr/lpd setting.

Verify that the printcap entries are correct. Each line should begin with a colon (:) and except for the last line should end with:\. Each line after the first line should be indented (tabbed). A sample entry is shown in “UNIX BSD Systems.”

If there are problems in the printcap entries, the files will not print, and you will get the message “warning: no daemon present” when you try to look at the print queue using the lpq -P <printername> command. The file /usr/adm/lpd-errs will contain error messages explaining why the file was not printed. Check for error messages.

You can only print small files.

If large files (usually 1 MB or more) fail to print, check to see if the printcap entry contains a line reading:mx#0. If the line does not exist, you should add it. You should also check to see if there is enough room in the spool directory to accommodate large files.

You cannot print from a DOS or Windows application.

If you cannot print from the application you are using, redirect the output to a file from the application, and print the file from the command line. This will help you to determine if the application is sending the data properly or if a problem exists at the application or driver level.

Telnet

Monitoring Network Interface Card Activity with Telnet

The monitoring of activity by the Network Interface Card is accomplished by a telnet session using TCP/IP network protocol. You must have telnet capability on any Windows/Macintosh/UNIX platform on the network, and an IP address must be assigned to the printer from the front control/display panel.
