Problem 2: 

Disk Server's printer is not listed on my Mac. 

Solution 2: 

??

On the Disk Server's 

System - Printer

 screen

check the

 Printer 

Object Type

. If this is not correct, the Disk Server's printer will not 

be listed on the Macintosh.  
Check the Printer's User Manual for this data, or contact the 
printer supplier. 

??

On each Mac, check that the 

Printer Driver 

is installed.

  

If not using a LaserWriter, each Mac must have the printer driver 
for the printer installed. Otherwise, the correct printer type can 
not be selected, so the Disk Server will not be listed. 

Problem 3: 

The printer does not work at all, or does not work properly. 

Solution 3: 

On the Disk Server 

System - Printer

 screen, check the following: 

??

Printer Connected to the Disk Server

 is set correctly ("Laser-

Writer" or "Other").  

??

Printer Object Type

 is set correctly. If this is incorrect, then Mac 

clients may be able to select an incorrect printer. 

Problem 4 

The printer was working, but now it doesn't. The printer seems OK, 
and no error message is di splayed. 

Solution 4 

This can happen if the amount of free disk space is not sufficient to 
spool (queue) the print job. Disk Usage can be checked using the 

Status - Disk

 screen on the 

Administrator

 interface.  

If this is the problem, you must delete some print jobs, as follows: 

??

Using the 

Administrator

 interface, select 

Status - Printer

??

Use the 

Delete current job

 to delete the current print job, or 

Delete all jobs

 to delete all print jobs. 

These options can als o be used if for some reason a print job or jobs 
does not print correctly. 

Problem 5 

When using the Web interface, some of the data will not fit on the 
screen, and there is no scrollbar. 

Solution 5 

You must reduce the font size. In your Browser, select 

View - Fonts

 to 

change the font size.
