TCP/IP Troubleshooting When you are configuring a new print server on your NT/UNIX server through LPR Port printing under TCP/IP protocol, you might encounter the following problem in your initial installation steps: " I can do the "arp" command. However, when I am going to ping or tftp the print server, it always shows Request timed out. I have checked the print server’s power and it exactly passed the POST. Besides, the network cabling is OK.
a. If the gateway computer is a NT/UNIX server: You have to do the same "arp" command to specify an entry on the NT/UNIX computer as a gateway in order for it to forward your subsequent "ping" or/and "tftp" commands to the print server. b. If the gateway computer is a Novell NetWare file server: 1. Due to the presence of this NetWare file server, the IPX/SPX protocol might be used on your network.
Appendix SMB Printing with Windows XP 1. Enable the SMB settings from the print server’s WEB configuration. Assume your computers use the “WORKGROUP” as the SMB workgroup name in Windows. Please assign the same SMB name to your print server. If print server uses the different SMB name from computers’, the SMB printing won’t active. 1 2 3 2. Now you can find the print server from the SMB workgroup of Windows. Then, double click it.
3. Double click it again.
4. Now you have to install the printer’s driver. 5. Choose it from the “Add Printer Wizard”.
6. Install printer successfully. 7. Now, you can find your printer’s icon and you can use the SMB printing mode.
Reset Button Reboot the Print server: 1. Verify the power of print server is turned on. 2. Press the reset button once, and then release it.
