xPrintServer User Guide
Possible Solution
Make sure that the network printer:

Is powered on.

Has a good network connection – wired or wireless. This includes
proper cabling, correct IP addressing and/or Wi-Fi connection
configuration settings and proper routing if going across routed network
environments.

Has adequate paper supply.

Has adequate ink or toner supply.

Has no paper jams.
Consult the printer manufacturer to troubleshoot these or other print-
specific technical issues.
Make sure that xPrintServer is connected securely to its power supply unit.
Otherwise, try another wall outlet. Contact Technical Support if
xPrintServer's status LED continues to not display light after confirming
good power.
Make sure that Ethernet patch cable is securely connected to both
xPrintServer's Ethernet port and the Ethernet hub or switch to the network
at both ends. Otherwise, swap the patch cable for another known good
cable. Use a straight CAT5 (or greater) Ethernet patch cable, not a
crossover Ethernet cable to connect to the network drop.
Ensure that banners configurations are enabled under Set Default
Options in Printers > Advanced page.
Make sure your application output encode is set to ASCII. If not, change it
to ASCII.
1) Reboot the xPrintServer.
2) Manually run Discovery
3) Verify that the network-attached printer supports Bonjour.
Make sure your iOS device is compatible. See Supported iOS Devices.
