1 Check the BOOTP setup in the/etc/bootptab file.
• Did the print server receive a host name and IP address?
2 Try to refresh or stop and start the Inetdaemon
(stopsrc -s inetd and startsrc -s inetd).
3 Check that the BOOTP server is active.
• use smit inetdconf to verify.
• use smit mkinetdconf to append BOOTP.
4 Are the host name, IP address and hardware address set
up correctly?
• see /etc/hosts for host name / IP address relation.
• use arp -a for hardware address / host name or IP
address relations.
5 LPD: Is the queue correctly configured?
• use smit, qchk, lpq or lpstat.
• see /etc/qconfig
