12 To test the connection, type the

ping

command from a workstation on the same

subnet as the printer:

ping printer_IP_name

If the

ping command responds by telling you that the printer is alive on the

network, the address assignment was successful.

If the

ping command does not respond, or tells you the printer was not

found, then the address assignment failed. Try the steps in this procedure

again, making sure you type the printer’s Ethernet address exactly as it

appears on the startup page. If it still doesn’t work, see the troubleshooting

suggestions in Chapter 13 of the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS User’s Manual.

13 Test printing with the following command:

lp -d queue_name filename

If the test print doesn’t work

If the test document doesn’t print, check the configuration by following

these steps:

1Check whether the

rlp

daemon is running. At the UNIX prompt, type

ps -e | grep rlp

If the process is running, you will see one or more lines of text; it it is not

running, you will see no response.

2If

rlp

is running—that is, you saw one or more lines of text in step 1—kill the process

by typing

kill -15 process_number_from_step_1

3Make sure the following entry is in the

/etc/inetd.conf

file:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/rlpdaemon

rlpdaemon -i

This line tells inetd to start the rlp daemon automatically when a print

request is made (if it’s not already running).
