Troubleshooting
14-8 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997
• Do the initial steps listed in this troubleshooting section for the
printer, connectivity parameters, and applications if you have
not already done so.
• Check the test print to verify that the preferred server is
correct.
In the examples below, 8650 PS printer is the host name for the
Network Interface Card, and the host software is loaded in the
directory /usr/local/kodak.
The printer appears to be ready, but you cannot print
Check the /etc/hosts file and see whether the IP address is set
correctly.
If the system uses Yellow Pages or NIS, use the following
command to view the hosts database:
ypcat hosts
Use the following command to view the IP address for the host
8650 PS printer:
ypmatch DS 8650 hosts
If the following message appears, your system does not use NIS:
can’t bind....
If the system uses NIS and you have changed the /etc/hosts or /
etc/ethers file, update the database by entering the command:
cd /var/yp; make
This updates the databases for both the YP server and the
clients.
The IP address is correct, but you cannot print.
Enter the ping command and the host name:
ping -s
<printername>
This sends a packet to the Network Interface Card once every
second. To abort the ping command, use Ctrl-C or the Delete key.
If a message like the following appears, check the cable; and try it
with another transceiver.
