Dell 1130n Laser Mono Printer - Manual (Page 80)

Condition Suggested solutions
“File in Use” message appears
during installation. Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the startup group, then
restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver.
“General Protection Fault”,
“Exception OE”, “Spool 32”, or
“Illegal Operation” messages
appear. Close all other applications, reboot Windows and try printing again.
“Fail To Print”, “A printer
timeout error occurred”
messages appear. These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine
finishes printing. If the message appears in ready mode or after printing has
been completed, check the connection and/or whether an error has occurred.
Refer to Microsoft Windows User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Windows
error messages.
Common Linux problems
condition Suggested solutions
The machine
does not print. Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and
switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available
machines. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, open Add new printer
wizard to set up your device.
Check if the machine is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the
printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains
Stopped string, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the machine should be
restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred.
Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the
command line parameter, then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -
> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item.
The machine
does not print
whole pages,
and output is
printed on half
the page. It is a known problem that occurs when a color machine is used on version 8.51 or earlier of
Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and has been reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug
688252. The problem is solved in AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or above. Download the latest version
of AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this
problem.
I encounter
error “Cannot
open port
device file”
when printing
a document. Avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress.
Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then
try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks the port while printing,
the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and unavailable for subsequent print
jobs. If this situation occurs, try to release the port by selecting Release port in Port
configuration window.

Common Macintosh problems
condition Suggested solutions
The machine does not print PDF files correctly.
Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are
missing. Printing the PDF file as an image may enable the file to print.
Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options.
It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an
image.
The document has printed, but the print job has
not disappeared from the spooler in Mac OS X
10.3.2. Update your Mac OS to OS Mac OS X 10.3.3. or higher.
Some letters are not displayed normally during
the Cover page printing. Mac OS cannot create the font during the Cover page printing.
The English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally on the
Cover page.
When printing a document in Macintosh with
Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print
