Novell NetWare Troubleshooting

If you cannot print from NetWare and you have checked the hardware and
network as described in the previous steps, first verify that the Brother print
server is attached to the server queue by going to PCONSOLE, selecting PRINT
QUEUE INFORMATION, and then CURRENTLY ATTACHED SERVERS. If
the print server does not appear in the list of attached servers, then check the
following:

It is always a good idea to try followings in order to eliminate the possibility of
setup errors

Turning off the printer and then on again to force to rescan the Netware
queue.

Deleting and recreating the print server and creating a new print queue in
order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.


1. If you changed the login password, you must change the password in

both the Brother print server (using the SET NETWARE PASSWORD
command if you are using the BRConfig software) or by using a web
browser or the BRAdmin application and in the file server (using the
PCONSOLE Print Server Information Change Password command).

2. If you created the print queue using PCONSOLE and instead of

BRAdmin, make sure that you have enabled at least one NetWare file
server using the SET NETWARE SERVER servername ENABLED
command.

3. Have you exceeded your NetWare user limit?

4. Make sure that the print server name you used in PCONSOLE exactly

matches the name that is configured in the print server, and make sure it
is defined as a Queue Server for the print queue.


5. If you are running both 802.3 and Ethernet II frames on different file

servers on your network, there is a possibility that the print server may
not make a connection to the desired file server. Try forcing the frame
type to the desired one using the SET NETWARE FRAME command
from the print server remote console or using BRAdmin.


6. If you are using DOS CAPTURE statement and losing portions of your

print job, try setting the TIMEOUT parameter in your CAPTURE
statement to a higher value (at least 50 seconds for Windows).
