Why do I get a PostScript Command error or no print out when sending a print job to my Planet FPS-5P-M 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-5P-M Print Server, 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.
