Troubleshooting

Testing the network connection

Execute the ping command from the host. For example:

ping

printer-name

If the ping test to the printer-name fails, try issuing the ping command again,
specifying the printerÕs IP address explicitly:

ping

printer-IP-address

If the ping test succeeds using the printerÕs IP address, but fails using the
printerÕs name, check the NIS or /etc/hosts Þle to make sure that you are
using the correct name for the printer. If the ping test fails using the
printerÕs IP address, check the cabling and any gateways to make sure that
the printer has a good connection.
