r The network may not be connected to the print server. Use ping from a
UNIX workstation to check IP connectivity to the Netport print
server’s TCP/IP task.
r If using proprint on an SCO, Solaris, UnixWare, or HP-UX host, the
complete path may need to be defined to proprint.
Make sure the lp_scrpt1 file specifies the correct and complete path to
the proprint utility. Also make sure the job number is specified. The
next-to-last line of lp_scrpt1 must read: (shell commands ...) |
usr/intl/hupx/proprint ‘basename $0’ job=1 exit $ ?
r If using proprint, program may not be working. Check it by printing a
job from the command line without using the spooling system.
r If using lpd without proprint and printing binary or PostScript files,
you may be using the wrong queue name. Make sure the queue name
is LPT1_PASSTHRU for ASCII files.
Queues fill up but nothing prints
r Another print server may be servicing the queue. Select a different
queue or change the queue that the other print server is using.
r The printer may be off line or set for the wrong type of port (parallel or
serial). Check the printer and ports.
r The network may not be connected. Check the network connection.
Can you print a test page? If you can, check the network connection
between the workstation and the print server. Also check the
connection at the hub or switch.
r If the job appears to print but nothing comes out of the printer, the job
may be going to a different printer.
r The driver parameters may be incorrect. You may be trying to send a
PostScript job to a non-PostScript printer or sending a non-PostScript
job to a PostScript printer.
Print job doesn’t print correctly
r May be using wrong printer driver. Make sure the printer driver is the
right one for the printer.
r May need to toggle the printer’s auto sensing of PostScript print jobs.
r A Postscript printer may be trying to print a non-PostScript job. Check
the job and the printer.
r If you are copying a graphics (binary) file to LPT1, you may have the
wrong parameter setting. Use the /b parameter:
Type: copy /b
filename
lpt1
