NetWare Trouble-
shooting
Troubleshooting for the Windows-based PC consists of both
hardware and software procedures.
The steps in each of these procedures should eliminate cabling,
communication, and connection problems associated with
direct-connected ports.
Complete one of these procedures (based on the type of port being
used), then run a test print from your software application. If the job
prints, no further system troubleshooting will be necessary.
For problems with the appearance of your document, once it has
printed, consult the Troubleshooting chapter of the DP System
Administrator Guide.
