print server.
Printing Errors
The printer is printing "garbage" characters
If the printer does not match the printer driver in the operating system, then run the Add Printer
Wizard.
Windows error message appears when printing
Consult Windows help.
The print server is not found
Make sure you can access other places from your computer. If you cannot, then troubleshoot your
computer or Internet connectivity.
If you are running a software firewall, disable it. This includes the Windows XP firewall — which
may have been turned on during Windows upgrade or installation without you being aware of it.
Nothing is printing
• Try printing from another computer. If this is successful, then there is a problem with your
computer configuration, not the print server. Consult the computer and operating system
documentation.
• Turn off the print server, then turn it on. Test whether the print server works.
• If the printer does not match the printer driver in the operating system, then set up the print
server using the PS121v2 Resource CD. See “Set Up Each Additional PC to Use the PS121v2”
on page 2-5
• Disable the printer's bidirectional feature, if it is turned on under Windows 98SE or Windows
ME.
