UNIX Troubleshooting 1 Make sure that the /etc/printcap file (if applicable) is typed in correctly. In particular, look for missing ":" and "\" characters, because a small error anywhere in the file can have major consequences. Also check the /usr/spool directory to make sure that you have created a valid spool directory. 2 If you are using a Linux operating system, the X-Window Print tool program that is included with Linux may not properly configure the etc/printcap file for lpd operation, then you might also edit the etc/printcap file and change the following line in the entry for the printer. if :lp = /dev/null: \ then to :lp = :\ 3 If you are using a Berkeley-based UNIX, make sure that the daemon is started on Berkeley based systems with the command lpc start printer, where printer is the name of the local print queue. 4 If you are using an AT&T-based UNIX, make sure the printer is enabled (enable printer, where printer is the name of the local print queue). 5 Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service are running on the host computer (refer to your host computer documentation for information on how to do this). 6 If you are having trouble printing more than one job at a time, try increasing the IP timeout using the SET IP TIMEOUT command or using BRAdmin. 7 If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 2 (E). For example: SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 2 TROUBLESHOOTING 13 - 6
