The first method to test this is to check the IOLAN+ Statistics
- Users Status screen. This screen should show next to the
port number, the printer name (if the administrator has added
it) and then the diagnostic 'Waiting for incoming
connection'. If the diagnostic is something else, such as
'Connections Menu' then the IOLAN+ port is not correctly
set up and needs rechecking. Be sure to kill the port after
changing its configuration.
Test the printer without relying on your spooler by sending
data direct to the port you created and named when you ran
the ioland daemon. Do this by typing:
cat data_file > /dev/laser1
If this command returns, then the Unix system believes it has
sent the data and there is a good chance it has been printed
successfully. This would indicate that your print spooler has
not been configured properly.
Check to see if the daemon is running. On Unix this
would be:
ps -ef | grep ioland
This should show an ioland daemon in the table for each
printer. If it isn't listed by this command, invoke it now. If it is
not listed, it is probably incorrectly configured. Kill it using
the Unix kill command, then run the ioland command again.
Check some of the same problem notes in the terminal
section because most are applicable to modems. The main
problem here is also cable problems and port setup.
