10 To test the connection, once again 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.

11 Try printing by using this command:

lpr -Pqueue_name filename

Note that there’s no space between -P and queue_name.
