Novell NetWare Troubleshooting Quick Check

1.Verify that the printer is plugged in, turned on, and connected to an active network.

2.Verify that the printer is receiving network traffic by monitoring the LEDs on the back of the printer. When the printer is connected to a functioning network and receiving traffic, its link LED is green, and its amber traffic LED is flashing rapidly.

3.Verify that the client is logged into the network and printing to the correct print queue.

4.Verify that the user has access to the Phaser printer queue.

5.Verify that the Phaser printer NetWare print queue exists, is accepting jobs, and has a print server attached. If it does not, use the Setup Wizard in CentreWare DP to reconfigure the print queue.

6.Print the “Configuration Page”. Verify that Printer Server is enabled. Set the frame type to the frame type your NetWare server is using.

Note

To determine your NetWare IPX frame type, type config at the Novell console screen. On networks using multiple IPX frame types, it is critical that the frame type be set correctly.

7.Verify that the Primary Server is set (NetWare 3.1x only). The primary server should have been set during initial queue setup and installed using CentreWare DP. If it is not set, use CentreWare DP to set it, then reset the printer.

Note

Setting the Primary Server is extremely important on large networks.

8.Go to www.xerox.com/office/support if the above steps fail to resolve the printing problem.
