TROUBLESHOOTING THE M204: AppleTalk Problems 153

AppleTalk Problems

The Laserwriter icon in the Chooser Menu doesn’t display any printer

destinations

In this situation, these things should be considered:

• Are you using EtherTalk rather than LocalTalk or TokenTalk?

• Is “EtherTalk” chosen in the Control Panel’s Network icon?

• Have you checked the M204 and the Apple system’s Ethernet connections?

• Have you conﬁgured the M204 to show up in the correct AppleTalk Zone. Please

see AppleTalk Zones on page 64 for information on doing this.

Windows Problems

Windows NT 3.5x

Queue hangs

Hanging print jobs or queues with Windows NT 3.5x usually means there’s a problem

at the host end. Most likely the printer and print server are sitting on the network wait-

ing for some form of activity but the host is not doing anything. This is very typical for

any LPR printing with Windows NT 3.5 and is possible with NT 3.51 as well.

The ﬁrst thing to check is that the printer is in fact ready to go, meaning it is willing to

accept more data. The best way to do this is to the use the lpstat command found on

the print server. In fact, this command’s output will tell you where exactly the problem

is. Therefore, you’ll want to telnet into the unit when the hanging occurs and issue

lpstat. Search under the appropriate I/O port you are printing to and see if you see any

messages like:

• “printing data - blocked”

If you see this message with the seconds to the right of the “blocked” message

incrementing with every lpstat command you issue, then the printer is not allow-

ing the print server to pass data to it. This will hang the print queue because the

print server cannot take more data in its output buffer until the “blocked” message
