Windows Nt/Lan Server (Tcp/Ip) Troubleshooting; Windows 95/98/Me (Or Later) Peer To Peer Print (Lpr) Troubleshooting - Brother HL 5030 - B/W Laser Printer Service Manual

(4) If you are using an AT&T-based UNIX, make sure the printer is enabled (enable printer,
where printer is the name of the local print queue).
(5) Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service are running on the host computer
(refer to your host computer documentation for information on how to do this).
(6) If you are having trouble printing more than one job at a time, try increasing the IP
timeout using the SET IP TIMEOUT command or using BRAdmin.
(7) If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to
string number 2 (<ESC>E). For example:
SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 2
(8) If PostScript jobs fail to print or are run together, try setting the service (remote printer)
with EOT set to string number 3 (control-D). For example:
SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 3
(9) If the lines of a text file are staggered, make sure that you have specified a remote printer
(rp) name of TEXT in your /etc/printcap file.
(10) If you are using Sun Solaris V2.4 or earlier, there is a bug which causes long print jobs to
fail when using a print server. If you are having trouble printing long jobs (over 1MB), add
the line mx#0 to your etc/printcap file entry.
(11) If you cannot print from DEC TCP/IP Service for VMS (UCX), make sure that you haave
version 2.0B or later of this software, because earlier versions will not work with Brother
print servers.

to the Windows 95/98/Me Peer to Peer chapters in the Network User's Guide.
