The BOOTP server is not responding.
If you chose to use a BOOTP server to assign the printer’s IP address while
setting up the printer, but the server is not responding, follow these steps:
1. Check the /etc/bootptab file to verify
m that the
lp entry is a valid IP address and that it matches the address in
the /etc/hosts file
m the
ha entry is the correct Ethernet address (found on the printer’s
startup page) with no colons separating the bytes
m the
ht entry is either ether or ethernet
2. Turn the printer on and off and immediately verify that the bootpd is
running. On many UNIX systems, you can accomplish this by typing
ps -e or ps -ax at the UNIX prompt on the server. If the daemon is
not running, type bootpd -t15 or consult the UNIX man page on
bootpd .
3. Turn the printer off and then back on.
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:
1. Make sure that the server running RARP is on the same subnet as the
printer.
2. Check the /etc/ethers file to verify that it contains the correct
Ethernet address and hostname.
3. Check the /etc/hosts file to verify that it contains a valid IP address
and the same hostname as in the /etc/ethers file.
4. Verify that the rarpd daemon is running on the server. On many UNIX
systems, you can accomplish 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 .
5. Turn the printer off and then back on.
