Troubleshooting Printer Problems
Sending the Test File
1
To send the PRINTEST.PS file you just created to the printer,
type
copy /b printest.ps lpt1
↵
»
Note:
If the computer has more than one parallel port, they're
probably labeled. If not, check the computer documentation for
the LPT port names.
2
If the printer and PC are communicating, a blank page ejects
from the printer. Skip ahead to “PC Printing Software” to fin-
ish connecting the printer.
If a blank page doesn’t eject and you typed the file correctly, you
may want to check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to see if LPT1 (the
parallel port) is being directed to COM1 (the serial port):
a
If the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the line
MODE LPT1:=COM1:
delete it.
b
Then type
MODE LPT1:,P
↵
The “P” represents infinite retry and it tells the PC to send
print jobs until the printer accepts them.
c
Restart the PC and retry the communication test.
Refer to your DOS documentation for more information.
