Unable to Print from a TCP/IP Network
Cause 1
The machine and cable are not properly connected.
Remedy
After checking the following connections, restart the machine.
Check that the machine is connected to the network using the proper cable. (See "To Use the
Machine as a Network Printer (Network Connection)," in the
Set-Up Sheet
.)
Cause 2
TCP/IP network is not properly set up
.
Remedy
Confirm that the IP addresses are properly set up. Check if the IP addresses were set using DHCP,
BOOTP, or RARP, and then confirm that they are operating.
Cause 3
The computer that is printing is not properly set up.
Remedy
Check the following
:
•
Confirm that the proper printer driver is installed. Check if you are printing from Windows 98/Me,
each computer must have a printer driver installed. For instructions on installing printer drivers,
see the
Software Guide
.
•
Confirm that the correct printer is set as the output destination for the computer that is printing.
Check the output destination for the Printer in the Control Panel or Print Manager.
Cause 4
The name of the file being printed is too long.
Remedy
Normally LPR (or the Microsoft TCP/IP Printer, if you are using Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003)
sends jobs either under the name of the application software used for printing, or the file name.
However, a job name longer than 255 characters cannot be sent to the printer. To correct this
problem, rename the file with a shorter name.
