22 UNABLE TO 
CONNECT TO 
SERVER

Queue Server mode error: The HP Jetdirect print server could not establish an NCP 
connection to the file server. Make sure that the correct file servers are connected. 
When multiple file servers are configured, the error is only displayed on the configuration 
page if none of the file servers were successfully connected. 

23 UNABLE TO 
ATTACH TO 
QUEUE

A failure was detected when the HP Jetdirect print server tried to attach to one of the 
queues assigned to the print server object. This may be because no servers are allowed to 
attach to this queue. There may also be a networking or security problem. Use PCONSOLE 
to make sure that servers are allowed to attach to the queue, to delete the print server 
object from the list of queue servers if you want the HP Jetdirect print server to service 
other queues, or to delete the queue and create a new one (the print server object must be 
added to the list of queue servers). 
When the HP Jetdirect print server is configured for multiple file servers, the error is only 
displayed on the configuration page if none of the file servers made the connection. 

24 PSERVER 
CLOSED 
CONNECTION

The NetWare print server requested a termination of the connection with the HP Jetdirect 
print server. No error exists or is indicated. Make sure the NetWare print server is 
running, and restart it if necessary.

25 
DISCONNECTING - 
SPX TIMEOUT

The SPX connection to the print server was lost after the connection had been made. This 
indicates a possible network problem, or a problem with the print server. Make sure all 
cables and routers are functioning correctly. Try restarting the print server.

26 UNKNOWN NCP 
RETURN CODE

The HP Jetdirect print server encountered an unexpected fatal error after it had 
successfully connected to the file server. A wide variety of failures could produce this error 
message, including a downed file server or a network router failure. 

27 UNEXPECTED 
PSERVER DATA 
RCVD

The print server sent some data when the HP Jetdirect print server had not given its 
permission to do so. This indicates a possible print server problem, possibly a software 
problem.

28 OUT OF 
BUFFERS

The HP Jetdirect print server was unable to allocate a buffer from its internal memory. 
This indicates all buffers are busy due possibly to heavy broadcast traffic or large amounts 
of network traffic directed to the print server.

29 UNABLE TO 
SENSE NET 
NUMBER

The HP Jetdirect print server has been trying for over 3 minutes to determine the 
NetWare protocol used on the network. Make sure that any file servers and routers are 
operating correctly. Make sure that the settings for NetWare frame type and source 
routing are correct.

2A NDS ERR: 
EXCEEDS MAX 
SERVERS

More queues were assigned than the HP Jetdirect print server can handle. Remove one or 
more print queues from the list to be serviced by Queue Server Mode. 

2B NDS ERR: 
UNABLE TO 
LOGIN

Unable to log onto the NetWare directory tree. Make sure that the print server object is 
defined in the directory at the correct context. Clear the print server password using 
NWADMIN or similar NetWare tool.

2C NDS 
AUTHENTICATION 
ERROR

Unable to log onto the NetWare directory tree. Make sure that the print server object is 
defined in the directory at the correct context.

2D NDS ERR: 
CHANGE PSSWRD 
FAILED

Cannot modify the print server password to the value expected by the HP Jetdirect print 
server.

2E NDS SERVER 
PUBLIC KEY 
ERROR

Print Server Object Name mismatch. Unable to read the file server's public key. Verify 
object names, or contact the NDS administrator.

2F NDS ERR: SRVR 
NAME 
UNRESOLVD

The file server on the network cannot be located. The server may not be running at this 
time or a communications problem may exist.

30 NDS PRINT 
SERVER NAME 
ERROR

The HP Jetdirect print server object cannot be located in the specified NDS context.
