3. If you are having problems printing to the TROY XCD

print server from a client PC that is connected to a
Windows NTAS or LAN Server file server, verify that you
can print a job directly from the DOS or OS/2 prompt on
the file server. If you can print from the file server but not
from the client, then the problem is probably with the
NetBEUI communications rather than with the TCP/IP
link to the TROY XCD print server. Check your file
server network setup (for example, make sure that you can
print from the client to other printers on the network.

up when the active print job is deleted, try setting the IP
timeout to one minute with the console command

5. There were a number of lpr/lpd-related problems fixed in

the V3.46 firmware. Therefore, if you are experiencing
intermittent queue problems and you have an older version
of firmware, TROY XCD recommends that you upgrade to
3.46 or later.
