•
Check that the printer is ready

Check that Logical printer(s) are defined on the Print Server. With
FTP, you can print ONLY to a logical printer.
•
Reset the Print Server

I can’t print using LPD.
Solution
No. 7
Try printing with FTP. If this works, the problem is the LPD daemon
on your UNIX host. Reconfigure the remote printer and the LPD
daemon. Check the following points.
•
The remote host name is the name of the Print Server.
•
The remote printer name is the logical printer name on the Print
Server (e.g. L1).
•
If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the
service type as BSD.
Problem
No. 8
I can’t print using PSfilter,
Solution
No. 8
Run PSfilter directly with the command:
PSfilter -D P_name -v <file_name&
Where
P_name is the Print Server’s name
file_name is the file you wish to print.
If this fails, check for an error log file (e.g. PSErrLog XXXXX) in the
/tmp directory. If there is not an error log file, recompile PSfilter.
Also, check the Troubleshooting section of the Psfilter .TXT file for
your system.
Problem

The “String Before Job” and/or “String After Job” settings in the
Logical Printers don’t work properly
Solution
No. 9
•
Check the length of the control strings. No string can exceed 15
characters.
•
Check that the control strings are in HEX.
