Reference Guide
7. Print directly to the printer from several software applications.
8. If you are networked, login and try printing from several software applica-
tions.
9. If steps 7 or 8 fail, repeat them using another computer or remove from the
network and test standalone.
If one application fails, but others print successfully, that can indicate a problem with a
specific software package. Call technical support of the failed product. If all the applica-
tions fail, determine what they have in common; for example, a RIP box or Windows
driver. Call technical support of the particular vendor.
