Area to Check Explanation
Physical connection To test a non-PostScript printer use the Test Port 1
Count 100 command. This command will send 100
lines of test data to the printer.
Service characteristics Use the Show Service Local Characteristics
command from a network login to see if the desired
service is available and to verify that the appropriate
protocols are enabled on the service.
The IP address The IP address must be unique on the network. Many
problems will occur when there are duplicate IP
addresses on the network.

entries appear in the job list. If an entry does not appear,
refer to the appropriate host section in this Appendix.
Use the Monitor Port
n Counters command to verify
that the counter is incrementing with each job. If it is
not, verify the connection between the NIC and the
printer.
