Printer doesn't generate a print
Be sure your printer is connected to the port to which you are
sending the file.
If you are printing over a network, you will need to determine
whether the problem is in the network. Try connecting the printer
directly to your computer and send the file again.
Parallel printing doesn't work
Be sure that your parallel cable does not exceed the maximum of 10 ft.
