Cannot print with the equipment (network connection problems)
Problem Description
I cannot perform printing with the equipment.
Corrective Action
See the checklist below to determine if the cause of the problem is related to a network.
If it is, see
P.74 “Printing Problems (Network Related)”. In that section, several OS- and printing method-based check
lists are provided to help you find the appropriate action to take.

Cannot print with SMB print
Problem Description
When an attempt is made to print a document using an SMB connection, the job cannot be printed and such messages
continuously appear as “No more connections can be made to this remote computer” or “Your file could not be printed due
to an error”.
Corrective Action
SMB print is supposed to be utilized in a small network. If you can use Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows
Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 as a print server, printing via the Windows Print Server is recommended.
If you cannot use the Windows Print Server in your network, use LPR print instead.
