Troubleshooting printers

If you do not see the expected output printed, the most likely cause is some type of hardware malfunction. The following troubleshooting procedures may help you to isolate the problem.

For serial printers:

For parallel printers: To confirm that your card is recognized, enter the following command:

hwconfig name=parallel

If the card is recognized, an entry will be printed that has similar information to the entry above. The interrupt vector is listed in column 3 (or with ``vec='' for the hwconfig display); make certain that it does not conflict with other hardware.

You can now set up and customize the printer spooling software as described in ``Adding local printers'' and ``Configuring Hewlett-Packard network printers and print services''.
