Printer Problems

This section describes some problems you may encounter when printing from applications running under SunPCi software.

Problems Printing to a PostScript Printer

If you are having problems printing from an application to a PostScript printer, try the following:

• Print to a file and print the file from a command window using lp filename. If this does not work, it may be an indication that your printer is not configured correctly. Make sure your default printer and any other printer you are trying to access is set up in your /etc/lp/printers directory.

• Make sure the setting in your application matches the setting for the default printer in your Windows 95/NT Network Control Panel. The Setup Wizard will have already installed and configured the PostScript printer for you, if you performed these steps during installation.

• Print to a file. View the file from a Solaris command window using od -a. If you see the letters eot anywhere in the file, it is an indication that there are ^D characters present in the file. The PostScript printer will not recognize these characters.
