To test communication between your printer and your PC, first create a short file that
ejects a page from the printer. Then send the file to the printer.
To create the test file, type the following commands at the DOS prompt:
copy con printest.ps
showpage
^D^Z
(All commands above except the DOS copy command are case sensitive and must be
typed exactly as shown.) Showpage is a PostScript command that prints a blank page.
The
symbol means to press the Enter key. To produce the ^D and ^Z, press and
hold down the Ctrl key while you type the appropriate letters (d and z). These charac-
ters signify the end of the file and must always be included.
!""
First you need to check and make sure the printer is on the network by pinging
the printer.
If you have a PC:
1
Go to Start/Programs/MS-DOS Prompt (Start/Programs/Command Prompt
for NT).
2
In the DOS window, type:
ping ipaddress
(for example, ping 161.33.128.5 )
