If You Cannot Print Via the Network

  • Check that the printer's "IP Address" and "Host Name" are registered in the "etc/hosts file".

  • When using the lp protocol, check that the remote printer's logical printer name (example: rp=lp) is registered in the "etc/hosts file".

  • The logical printer names include "lp", "sjis", and "euc": "lp" is used for non-conversion output setting, "sjis" being used for JIS PostScript kanji conversion output, and "euc" is used for EUC PostScript kanji conversion output. Values other than the above are all invalid. For B432dn, only "lp" is valid as a logical printer name.

  • When using the ftp protocol, check that the output destination (Ethernet board logical directory name) is specified. The output destinations include "lp", "sjis", and "euc": "lp" is used for non-conversion output setting, "sjis" is used for JIS PostScript kanji conversion output, and "euc" is used for EUC PostScript kanji conversion output. Values other than the above are all invalid. Only "lp" is valid as an output destination.
