make sure the network is LocalTalk*, EtherTalk*, or TokenTalk*, as
appropriate.
If the network is running EtherTalk, make sure it is EtherTalk Phase 2.
To print using Phase 1, connect the Macintosh to the network with a
router, such as Apple Internet Router* or Liaison Internet Router*, that
routes Phase 1 to Phase 2.

NetportExpress print server may not be configured for AppleTalk
printing. Check the print server configuration.

queues are mapped to LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3 on the system running
LAN Manager or LAN Server.

Queues may be set up wrong. Make sure queues are set up so that one
logical LPT port is associated with one physical LPT port. Queues
must not all map to the logical device LPT1.

UNIX text file.
