Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide B-3 Printing Problems Area to Check Physical connection Service characteristics The IP address Queue Status and Port counters Explanation To test a non-PostScript printer use the Test Port 1 Count 100 command. This command will send 100 lines of test data to the printer. Use the Show Service Local Characteristics command from a network login to see if the desired service is available and to verify that the appropriate protocols are enabled on the service. The IP address must be unique on the network. Many problems will occur when there are duplicate IP addresses on the network. Use the Monitor Queue command to ensure queue entries appear in the job list. If an entry does not appear, refer to the appropriate host section in this Appendix. Use the Monitor Port n Counters command to verify that the counter is incrementing with each job. If it is not, verify the connection between the NIC and the printer. BOOTP Troubleshooting Area to Check Explanation BOOTP is in your system's /etc/services file BOOTP must be an uncommented line in the /etc/services file. The NIC's name is in the loadhost's /etc/hosts file The NIC's name must be in this file for the host to answer a BOOTP or TFTP request. The download file is in the correct directory and is world-readable The download file must be in the correct directory and world-readable. Specify the complete pathname for the download file in the BOOTP configuration file or, a add a default pathname to the download filename. The NIC and host are in the same IP network Some hosts will not allow BOOTP replies across IP networks. Either use a host running a different operating system or put the NIC in the same IP network as the host.
