Application Software
Isolating a problem to your software
Sometimes printing problems are application software-specific.
Try printing the test print available from the Service menu. If it prints correctly, the
printer's health is probably good.
Try printing a simple file from your application or from another application. If this prints
correctly, the problem may be with your software.
If you are using a Windows application and the file does not print from Windows, try
printing a file from DOS. If this prints correctly, your problem may be with your Windows
driver or Windows setup.
Do you need to take additional steps to allow the print servers and print
clients to communicate with each other?
If your site is not running NIS or NIS+, have you entered the IP address
for the print server in each client's /etc/hosts file and entered all print
client IP addresses in the /etc/hosts file of the print server?
Check that the port monitor is configured correctly on the print server.
Check that the network listen services are registered with the port
monitor on the print server.
