Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS User Manual
Page 336
The banner page prints only the system name and the remote printer name.
The
lpd
printing protocol does not provide the user name or filename in a
way that can be included in the banner page.
The printer administrator forgot the password for the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility.
See the service information that came with your printer to learn how to get in
touch with Apple.
Sometimes printing the first page takes longer than I expect.
The LaserWriter 12/640 PS automatically goes into an energy-saving mode
after it’s been idle for a while. When you print while it’s in this mode, the
printer takes about a minute to warm up before it can print the first page.
The RARP server is not responding.
If you chose to use a RARP server to assign the printer’s IP address while
setting up the printer, but the server is not responding, follow these steps
in order:
m
Verify that the
rarpd
daemon is running on the server. On many UNIX
systems, you can verify this by typing
ps -e
or
ps -ax
at the UNIX
prompt on the server. If the daemon isn’t running, type
/usr/etc/rarpd -a
to start the daemon.
m
Make sure that the server running RARP is on the same subnet as the
printer.
m
Check the
/etc/ethers
file to verify that it contains the correct
Ethernet address and hostname.
m
Check the
/etc/hosts
file to verify that it contains a valid IP address
and the same hostname as in the
/etc/ethers
file.
m
Turn the printer off and then back on.
