Printing - Windows
Problem
No. 1 When printing from some software applications such as Power
Point, it takes a long time and the print out is incorrect.
Solution
No. 1 The problem is due to the printer being configured to Start printing
after the first page is spooled. To change this setting:
1. Go to Control PanelÔPrinters and click on your printer.
2. Then select FileÔPropertiesÔDetails.
3. When the Details screen appears, click the Spool Settings button.
4. When the Spool Settings dialogue box appears, choose
Start
printing after last page is spooled and click OK.
Problem
No. 2 While adding my printer as instructed in Windows 95, I received
a message stating that Printer could not be found.
Solution
No. 2 Some printer drivers, when configured as Local Printer, will poll the
printer to see if it is connected. Since the printer is networked, the
printer can not be detected. To fix this, perform the following:
1. Select
Network printer when asked How is the printer attached to
your computer?
2. Then when prompted for
Network Path or Queue name enter a
dummy value such as \\54321 and select Next
3. The printer wizard will display a message stating the Network
Printer is off-line. Continue to install the printer as normal.
4. When finished, go to Control PanelèPrinters and select your
printer. The printer icon will be grayed out indicating the printer
is not ready.
5. Select PropertiesèDetails.
In the
Print to the following port box, select Print Server
(PrintServer).
6. Click Apply, then OK, then close the properties window.
7. Select the printer and go to the File menu. Check the
Work off-line
option is OFF.
8. If the printer is connected and powered On, the printer icon
should no longer be grayed out, and you should be able to print.
Problem
No. 3 I connected and configured a WPS (Windows Printing System)
printer as described, but I can’t get the print job to print.
Solution
No. 3 WPS printer drivers poll the printer before sending print data. Since
the printer is networked, the printer is not found and no data is sent.
The solution is to add your printer as a network printer as described
in Solution 2 above. The following lists some common WPS printers:
Canon LBP-430W Epson EPL-5500/W
Epson ActionLaser 1300/W HP LaserJet 5L
Lexmark WinWriter Series NEC SuperScript series
Olivetti PG304 Samsung MyLaser Series
