TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 6

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 (<ESC>E). For 
example: 

SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 2

8

If PostScript jobs fail to print or are run together, try setting the 
service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 3 
(control-D). For example: 

SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 3

9

If the lines of a text file are staggered, make sure that you have 
specified a remote printer (rp) name of TEXT in your 

/etc/

printcap

 file.

10

If you are using Sun Solaris V2.4 or earlier, there is a bug which 
causes long print jobs to fail when using a print server. If you are 
having trouble printing long jobs (over 1MB), add the line mx#0 
to your 

etc/printcap

 file entry. 

11

If you cannot print from DEC TCP/IP Service for VMS (UCX), 
make sure that you have version 2.0B or later of this software, 
because earlier versions will not work with Brother print servers.
