Why do I have trouble printing with the LaserWriter 8 using Planet FPS-1UA?
If you are having trouble printing with the LaserWriter 8 driver when using Planet Print Server, your application software may not be compatible or your system may not meet the driver's requirements. Use the Apple LaserWriter 7 driver instead.
Why am I getting an IP Address conflict involving the Planet Print Server when using DHCP?
To resolve IP address conflicts when using DHCP with your Planet Print Server, reset the Print Server to obtain a new IP address. This issue can also occur if you've assigned a static IP address within the DHCP server's range. If so, use a static IP address outside the DHCP range.
What to do if my EPS file doesn't print with the correct fonts using Planet Print Server?

What to do if my file doesn't print with the correct fonts on Planet Print Server?
If your file doesn't print with the correct fonts when using Planet Print Server, try changing your printer driver to LaserWriter 7.
What to check if my document didn't print to the right printer using Planet FPS-1UA?
If your document didn't print to the right printer when using Planet Print Server, check the following: * Another Print Server with the same name may have received your print job. Use the PSTOOL to reconfigure your Print Server name and ensure all Print Servers have unique names. * Make sure your application output encode is set to ASCII. If not, change it to ASCII.
What to do if a cover page prints on the first or last page of the document with Planet FPS-1UA?
To resolve issues with cover pages printing on the first or last page of your document when using a Planet Print Server, try these solutions: * Turn the cover page feature off. * Insert extra page breaks in your document to avoid the cover page printing on the first or last page. * Install the Apple LaserWriter 7 driver, as you may be experiencing trouble with the Apple LaserWriter 8 driver.
What to check if a printing device connected to the Planet FPS-1UA port cannot print or prints garbage?
If a printing device connected to the Planet Print Server port cannot print or prints garbage, check the following: * Cable connection between Print Server and printer. * Serial port configuration, if a serial device. * Printer driver in the application program or Windows matches the printer.
Why do I get an incorrect printout from my Planet FPS-1UA Print Server?
If you are getting an incorrect printout with your Planet Print Server, it may be due to: * Using Binary encoding to print the file. Try using ASCII encoding instead. * Some fonts in your print file may not be supported by the printer. Try selecting LaserWriter 7 instead of LaserWriter 8.
Why do I get a PostScript Command error or no print out when sending a print job to my Planet FPS-1UA Print Server?
To resolve a PostScript Command error or no print out when sending a print job to your Planet Print Server, check the communication protocols. The computer, Print Server, and printer must all be configured to use the same communication protocol (either Binary or ASCII). To configure your system: 1. Choose which protocol you are going to use. You should check your printer; it may not give you a choice. 2. Set your printer to the correct protocol. 3. Use the computer's Print submenu to configure your computer to use the protocol you have chosen. 4. Configure the Print Server to use the same protocol as the printer and computer.
What to do if my Planet FPS-1UA, configured as a Novell Print Server, cannot log in to a File Server?
If your Planet Print Server, configured as a Novell Print Server, cannot log in to a File Server, try these steps: 1. Check the Novell file server's name and ensure it is not longer than 20 characters. If it is, rename it. 2. Verify that the Print Server's configuration data, especially the password, is correct. 3. Check the NetWare server. If using Bindery mode, check the master file server to see if the login status of the Print Server is Ready. If it is not, check the error message and perform the required corrective action. 4. If the Print Server is servicing more than one file server, check that all required file servers are in the list of "File Servers To Be Serviced". If not, insert the required file server name to the list.
