UNIX Troubleshooting

Make sure that the /etc/printcap file (if applicable) is typed

in correctly. In particular, look for missing ":" and "\" characters,

because a small error anywhere in the file can have major

consequences. Also check the /usr/spool directory to make

sure that you have created a valid spool directory.

If you are using a Linux operating system, the X-Window Print

tool program that is included with Linux may not properly

configure the etc/printcap file for lpd operation, then you might

also edit the etc/printcap file and change the following line in the

entry for the printer.

:lp = /dev/null: \

then to

:lp = :\

If you are using a Berkeley-based UNIX, make sure that the

daemon is started on Berkeley based systems with the

command lpc start printer, where printer is the name of the local

print queue.

If you are using an AT&T-based UNIX, make sure the printer is

enabled (enable printer, where printer is the name of the local

print queue).

Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service are running

on the host computer (refer to your host computer

documentation for information on how to do this).

If you are having trouble printing more than one job at a time, try

increasing the IP timeout using the SET IP TIMEOUT

command or using BRAdmin.

If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service

(remote printer) with EOT set to string number 2 (<ESC>E). For

example:

SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 2

1 2 ... 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 ... 163 164
