The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP
addresses. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the
TROY print server (via the self-test page or through the remote
console) and make sure that no other nodes on the network have
this address (duplicate addresses are the biggest cause of TCP/IP
printing problems). If the address is not correct, then check
whether the loading procedure was properly executed.
Also verify that the host computer and the print server are either on
the same subnet (for example, if the print server has a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0, the host must have the same subnet mask) or that
the router is properly configured to pass data between the two
devices.
If the wrong IP address is loaded, check your network for file
servers that have DHCP, BOOTP, or rarp enabled, and make sure
that these file servers are not set up to load IP addresses into the
print server.
Troubleshooting Windows Problems
If you are having trouble printing with Windows, ensure you can ping
the TROY print server using the DOS command PING ipaddress,
where ipaddress is the IP address of the TROY print server. If you
cannot ping the print server, you will not be able to print.
Troubleshooting Wireless Configuration Problems
Make sure your computer’s wireless adapter and/or access point is
configured properly and note the settings, paying special attention
to the wireless mode, SSID or network name, WEP or security, and
IP Address settings so you can configure your print server to the
same wireless settings.
Make sure you have a good wireless signal from your PC and from
the print server, that the print server is within range (90 meters or
300 feet), and it is away from metal objects and other devices that
generate radio signals (like Bluetooth, Cordless Phones, and
Microwave ovens).
