Possible Problems with DHCP Parameter Settings
1. IP address conflicts with an another host
If DHCP is enabled and an IP Address is saved in NVRAM, and the saved
address conflicts with an another host, the NIB does not show any errors. As a
result, the NIB cannot receive any print jobs, because the IP protocol is
disabled automatically at startup.
In this case, the other host in conflict with the NIB must have a manually
assigned IP address. Find the host using the ping and arp commands for
example, and assign a correct address.
2. IP address changes after restarting the machine
If DHCP is enabled but an IP address is not saved in the NVRAM, the NIB may
have a different IP address from the one before restarting the machine. As a
result, the NIB cannot receive any print jobs, because the jobs are sent to the
previously assigned IP address.
There are two solutions for this problem.
The first one is simply enable the "IP Address in NVRAM" parameter and
assign a correct IP address. The second one is to reserve the IP address on
the DHCP server for the NIB's Ethernet (MAC) Address.
EtherTalk (APPLETALK) Network
The following parameters are required for AppleTalk networks. These parameters
are automatically configured at startup as follows:
Parameter
AppleTalk Enable/Disable
Printer Name
Zone Name
NOTE: 1) The Apple LaserWriter utility can change both the printer name and the
zone name. Apple Printer Utility can change the printer name only.
2) Even if the printer name and zone name are changed using a utility, the
changed names will be reset to the default at the next power-on, due to
NIB-to-Controller interface limitations.
