EcoLAN 1000E Loses Its File Server Connection

If the EcoLAN 1000E loses its connection to the file server, it can take approximately
5 to 10 minutes to reconnect. If the connection is not made after a reasonable amount
of time, check the error conditions to troubleshoot the problem.
8.5.2.8 Unable to Print from a Different Context
The EcoLAN 1000E does not support printing from a context different from the
context you are installed upon. If you want to do this, you must create an alias queue.
See your NetWare Manual for more information.

8.5.3 Troubleshooting AppleTalk Protocol

• Is the Macintosh computer connected to the network through Ethernet, and, has the
Macintosh AppleTalk driver been selected? Go to the Control Panel, then go to
Networks to check.
• Did you select the correct EcoLAN 1000E and correct zone?
• Is AppleTalk enabled on the Macintosh? Use Chooser to check this.
• If you are on a network with multiple zones, is the zone correct?
• Did you select the correct printer driver in Chooser? You must first select the printer
icon and then select the printer name.
Note: Not all printers will communicate with the default Macintosh driver.
• If you renamed the printer in the AppleTalk NIManage for Macintosh Program, did
you reselect the printer under its new name?
• If you placed the printer in a new zone, did you reselect the zone?
• Are other printers with similar names in Chooser? Make sure you chose the
EcoLAN 1000E-connected printer.
