If your print job was sent to the queue but nothing is currently in the queue, you must determine whether the job did not reach the queue or whether it reached the queue and then disappeared without printing.
In order to determine this, you must disable the operator flag for the print queue titled “Allow service by current print servers” using PCONSOLE or the NetWare Administrator utility.
To access the queue operator flags in PCONSOLE, select the “Status” option from the “Print Queue Information” menu. In the NetWare Administrator utility, the flags are on the “Details” page of the Queue object. Disabling this operator flag essentially puts the queue on hold.
Next, print the job again. You can now look to see if the job is in the queue by selecting “Print Jobs” from the “Print Queue Information” menu in PCONSOLE or by selecting the “Job List” page of the Queue object in the NetWare Administrator utility.
If the job does not show up here, it never reached the queue.

In PCONSOLE, select the queue from the “Print Queues” list and then “Print Jobs.” The name of the user who sent the job is in the “Name” column.
If the job is not shown here, either it did not reach the queue or was sent to the printer and then removed from the queue.

Print jobs that are not ASCII text files should be printed as “Byte Stream” files. ASCII text files may be printed as “Text” files. The difference between these two types is whether tab conversion is enabled.
Tab conversion means that as a job is printed, a tab character is replaced by a specified number of spaces. Tab conversion takes place if “File contents” is set to “Text” in the print job configuration or if “Tabs” is set in the CAPTURE command. Continue reading »

A printer will not function with NetWare print services if it does not function without NetWare print services.
To determine whether your printer is functioning properly, first print the job to the printer locally. If the printer is connected to a server, issue the server DOWN command and bring the machine up as a workstation so you can print the job to a local printer. This will determine whether the problem exists within network printing. Continue reading »

The printer languages your printer supports can be determined by reading your printer’s documentation. Many printers can support multiple languages. For example, many printers now support both PCL and PostScript print jobs. Continue reading »

Background:
If you mark several names in the name list for printing, clicked print, and once the printing begins, it stops unexpectedly, there are two likely causes, first you have run out of hard drive disk space on drive C: during printing, or CardWare may be having a memory sharing conflict with your printer driver and other software running in the background.

Print jobs can be generated in a variety of printer languages. See “Printer Languages” in Appendix A for a discussion of the various types. Different applications with printing capability will generate print jobs using different languages. Similarly, certain printers support some languages but not others. For example, many PCL printers do not support PostScript printing. (See Note 2 for more information.)
To be sure you are sending your print job to a printer that can support the language used by your application, you must determine the language used by your print job. Sending a print job to a printer that does not support the printer language used in that print job will produce unexpected results varying from no printer output to incorrect printer output.

With their domination of the inkjet market, multifunction printers represent more than just a simple alternative to conventional A4 printers. Using the same print engines and benefiting from enormous progress in the level of integration between the printing and scanning components, they are becoming easier to use and their prices are in freefall. What could be more tempting?
