Intel PRO/100 - NetportExpress - Print Server Setup Manual page 38

The network may not be connected to the print server. Use ping from a
UNIX workstation to check IP connectivity to the Netport print
server's TCP/IP task.
If using proprint on an SCO, Solaris, UnixWare, or HP-UX host, the
complete path may need to be defined to proprint.
Make sure the lp_scrpt1 file specifies the correct and complete path to
the proprint utility. Also make sure the job number is specified. The
next-to-last line of lp_scrpt1 must read: (shell commands ...) |
usr/intl/hupx/proprint 'basename $0' job=1 exit $ ?
If using proprint, program may not be working. Check it by printing a
job from the command line without using the spooling system.
If using lpd without proprint and printing binary or PostScript files,
you may be using the wrong queue name. Make sure the queue name
is LPT1_PASSTHRU for ASCII files.
Queues fill up but nothing prints
Another print server may be servicing the queue. Select a different
queue or change the queue that the other print server is using.
The printer may be off line or set for the wrong type of port (parallel or
serial). Check the printer and ports.
The network may not be connected. Check the network connection.
Can you print a test page? If you can, check the network connection
between the workstation and the print server. Also check the
connection at the hub or switch.
If the job appears to print but nothing comes out of the printer, the job
may be going to a different printer.
The driver parameters may be incorrect. You may be trying to send a
PostScript job to a non-PostScript printer or sending a non-PostScript
job to a PostScript printer.
Print job doesn't print correctly
May be using wrong printer driver. Make sure the printer driver is the
right one for the printer.
May need to toggle the printer's auto sensing of PostScript print jobs.
A Postscript printer may be trying to print a non-PostScript job. Check
the job and the printer.
If you are copying a graphics (binary) file to LPT1, you may have the
wrong parameter setting. Use the /b parameter:
Type: copy /b filename lpt1
