OS/2 Quick Check
1. Print a Configuration Page and check ALL IP addresses and verify that you have set
the Phaser 2135 printer's address correctly.
2. Use the "ping" command to see if your server responds. If the server does not
respond, you may have an addressing or network problem.
3. Use the "ping" command to see if your Phaser 2135 printer responds. If the printer
does not respond, you may have an addressing or network problem. Correct these
conditions and retry.
4. Use the "ping" command to see if your gateway responds. If the gateway does not
respond, you may have an addressing or network problem. Correct these conditions
and retry.
5.
Check your router, subnet (if applicable), and gateway addresses. (Incorrect
addressing can render your lpr/lpd printing system unusable.)
6. For OS/2 printing only, is LPRPORTD.EXE running?
7.
For OS/2 and WIN-OS/2 printing, is LPRMON.EXE running?
8.
Have you applied appropriate fixpacks, APARs (see Compatibility for required
fixpacks)? If not, the proper fixpack must be applied.
TCP/IP for OS/2 versions 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0
1.
Make sure the OS/2 Spooler Print Priority is at the maximum value of 189 (lowering
this value frees up memory resources but can have adverse affects on printing
graphics). Try adjusting the value to "tune" your server/workstation performance.
2. Changes to TCP/IP Configuration may require system reboot rather than the OS/2
Command "TCPSTART."
