What to do if Oki Printer says please reboot printer?
If your Oki Printer displays 'Please reboot printer,' switch off the printer, then switch it on again. This will resolve errors occurring in the NetWare interface.
Why am I getting no notification of Oki B6200 errors?
If you're not receiving notifications for Oki Printer errors, ensure your user name and group name are registered in the Notify Candidate List of the print server. Register them in the Notify section.
Why is there no end-of-job notification from Oki B6200?
If you're not getting end-of-job notifications from your Oki Printer, specify the NOTIFY option when sending jobs from your computer. Also, make sure the NetWare CASTON utility is executed on the computer, not the CASTOFF utility.
Why has the name of my Oki B6200 been changed?
If the name of your Oki Printer has changed, it's possible the AppleTalk function is changing it because it detects another printer with the same name on the network. To fix this, change the name of your printer or the other printer to avoid duplicate names.
Why does Oki B6200 Printer not appear in Chooser?
If the Oki Printer does not appear in Chooser, it might be set up as a slave of the Apple Share Print Server or Windows NT Server, and its NBP entity name has been changed from LaserWriter. If the printer's NBP entity name type has been changed, open the printer using the Apple Share Print Server or Windows NT Server. Also, ensure the network is correctly connected. If the printer is off or the network cable is faulty, it cannot be found.
How to fix Oki B6200 Printer if unable to obtain desired print results?
To obtain desired print results from your Oki Printer, ensure that PostScript and AdobePS are set up as the print language for the printer and printer driver, respectively.
