Troubleshooting the HP JetDirect Print Server 95
7. If the test file prints but is formatted incorrectly, do the
following:
■
Check :rp tag in printcap file.
Example 1
(suggested name for an ASCII or text printer):
text | lj1_text:\
:lp=:\
:rm=laserjet1:\
:rp=text:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/ERRORLOG:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_text:
Example 2
(suggested name for PostScript, PCL, or HP-GL/2
printers):
raw | lj1_raw:\
:lp=:\
:rm=laserjet:\
:rp=raw:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/ERRORLOG:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_raw:
8. Check that the printer is set up to print the type of test file you
specified: PCL, PostScript, HP-GL/2, or ASCII.
9. Check whether the printer was turned off or lost its LAN
connection in the middle of a print job. LPD queues may become
disabled or stop sending data if the printer is powered off or if
the LAN connection is broken when the printer is in the middle
of printing a job. (Example: power is turned off to fix a
paper jam.)
Use the HP-UX command
lpstat -Pqname
to find out if the
queue has been disabled after the printer has powered up again
or the connection is reestablished.
The disabled queue can be restarted using the following
command:
HP-UX:
enable qname
