TCP/IP Troubleshooting

If you are using TCP/IP and cannot print to the print server and you

have checked the hardware and network as described in the

previous steps, then check the following:

Turning off the printer and then again,

Deleting and recreating the print server and creating a new print

queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.

The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP

address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the

print server (via the configuration page. Make sure that no other

nodes on the network have this address (DUPLICATE IP

ADDRESS ARE THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF TCP/IP PRINTING

PROBLEMS).

If you used BRCONFIG, NCP or to enter the IP address, make

sure that you exited the remote console properly with a CTRL-

D or EXIT and that you turned the printer off and then again (it

may take up to two minutes for the IP address to take effect).

Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol of the print server is

enabled.

If you used rarp, make sure that you started the rarp daemon on

any workstation using the rarpd, rarpd-a, or equivalent

command. Verify that the /etc/ethers file contains the

correct Ethernet address and that the print server name

matches the name in the /etc/hosts file.

If you used bootp, make sure that you started the bootp daemon

on any UNIX workstation and bootp is enabled (i.e., the "#" is

removed from the bootp entry) in the /etc/bootptab file is

correctly configured.

Also verify that host computer and the print server are either on

the same subnet, otherwise that the router is properly

configured to pass data between the two devices.

It is always a good idea to try following in order to eliminate

the possibility of setup errors.
