one of the printers shown. Note that since the Printer is identified as a Share name on the Server, it
may not have the same name as the SMB Host name on the Configuration Report. If you do not
recognize your Server or Printer's name in the list, perform the following step.
7. From your Computer's Desktop, click Start/Settings/Printers (Start/Printers and Faxes in XP),
right click the Printer's icon and select Properties. From the Ports Tab (Windows 2000) determine
the Port that the driver is using to print through. For Client/Server communications, the port name
should be in the form of a UNC (universal naming convention) such as
\\Computer_name\Share_name. If it isn't you are printing to the wrong port and either need to
select the correct port or use the Add Port button to create a new port for the driver to print
through. If the name looks correct, use the General tab of the driver to print a test page to
determine the status of communications between the computer and the printer.
8. Note that if you have the UNC of the Printer, you can enter this into the text box of the Run
command on your computer. When you press Enter, the computer will attempt to reconnect to the
network Server and Printer Share that was specified by the UNC. Depending upon how the Server
was configured you can then either manually or automatically reinstall the driver.
9. To assure successful printing, make sure that the printer is configured to support the Page
Description Language (PDL) being used by your driver. To check the PDL being used by the driver,
print a test job to file. Open and view the job in a program such as Notepad. The PDL being used by
the driver will be displayed in the first few lines of Printer Language. Next, check the Page
Description Languages being supported by the printer's ports.The PDL being used by the driver,
and the PDL supported by the Port you are printing to, must match for successful printing to occur.
