When you cannot print
When using EtherTalk
The possible symptoms, causes, and remedies for problems when using EtherTalk are 
as follows:
Cause Check point Remedy
The LPD port is not activated. Confirm whether the LPD 
port is activated.
When printing with a printer 
detected by using Bonjour, 
Select the [Enabled] check 
box of [LPD] to activate the 
port.
Symptom Cause Remedy
Documents are printed by a 
machine that is not selected.
If a machine assigned the 
same printer name already 
existed on the network, the 
printer names is 
automatically changed when 
starting the machine. 
Therefore, depending on the 
timing of starting the printer, 
the machine may be started 
with a different name, and 
documents are printed by a 
machine other than the one 
selected.
A machine that is assigned 
the same printer name may 
exist on the network. Confirm 
the printer name, and 
change the name if it is 
duplicated.
The printer cannot be 
browsed from clients.
If the machine is turned on 
before it is connected to a 
network, clients may not be 
able to identify the printer 
name and therefore cannot 
browse the printer.
Turn the machine on after 
connecting to the network. If 
the machine is turned on 
while disconnected from the 
network, turn the machine 
off, connect it to the network, 
and then turn the machine 
on again.
