Other computers in the same local network that need to share the printing should add the
Standard TCP/IP port on their system. There
’re two conditions. Please choose one according to your system. In this section, we take Windows Vista for example.
Section 3.4.1
is on the precondition that you have ever installed a printer driver and now you want to use a print server to share the printer through your network. You need to change the printer port to Standard TCP/IP port.
Section 3.4.2
is on the precondition that you never use the printer on your computer before but also want to share printing. You just need to add a printer, follow the steps to create a Standard
TCP/IP port, and then install the printer driver.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting
General Troubleshooting Overview
The most common problems, which cause the print server to perform improperly, are covered in this chapter. If a problem still exists after reading this chapter, please contact your dealer for technical support.
1) LED Light Indicators
The print server is equipped with LED lights to assist in diagnosing problems that are the result of the network and/or the print server hardware itself.
Status (Yellow)
When the print server unit is powered on, the
Status
LED will flash five times as part of the unit’s
P

). This indicates that the print server hardware is properly configured.
Note:
Make sure that the LED flashes five times (POST) upon connecting the power. If the unit does not flash five times, contact your dealer for a replacement or repair.
LAN (Green: 100Mbps; Yellow: 10Mbps)
2) Power Related Problems
The print server requires an external AC power adapter in order for it to function. If you have a power problem, check to see whether the power cord or its connectors are damaged. More importantly, check to see that the AC power adapter included with the print server matches the AC voltage in your country or area. Using an incorrect AC adapter will damage your print server.
3) Print Port Related Problems
Printing data failure may be caused by a loose connection of the print server to the parallel port of the printer. Check to see if any of the pins on the parallel port connector are damaged. In addition, check the cable connection. If the pins are damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement connector.
4) TCP/IP Troubleshooting
When you are configuring a new print server on your NT/UNIX server through LPR Port printing under TCP/IP protocol, you might encounter the following problem in your initial installation steps:
" I can do the "arp" command. However, when I am going to ping or tftp the print server, it always shows Request timed out. I have checked the print server
’s power and it exactly passed the POST. Besides, the network cabling is OK. As such, I can't do tftp command to get and put the print server's configuration file and save its IP address permanently. I can't, therefore, continue
49
TL-PS110P Single Parallel Port Fast Ethernet Print Server
installing the print server."
Regarding this problem, there are three possible causes:
A. The print server's Node ID you specified in the "arp" command is not correct.
If this is the case, please ensure the Node ID field in the corresponding entry of the print server's
IP address in NT's ARP cache table is correct by typing the following command at NT's DOS prompt. "arp -a"
If the Node ID shown on the screen doesn't match the print server's Node ID, please follow the instructions below to reset the entry.
1. At NT's DOS prompt, type "arp -d <print server's IP address>" to delete the current entry.
2. Type "arp -s <print server's IP> <print server's Node ID>" to specify a new ARP entry.
3. Refer to Chapter 7 for the detailed instructions to complete the installation.
B. The print server's IP address is duplicated or is as same as another computer's IP address on the network.
If this is the case, please consult your network administrator to obtain an unused IP address for your print server.
C. The print server is on one segment and your Windows NT server is on the other segment.
(This troubleshooting guide will also apply to a multiple-segmented network while installing the print server)
For example, assuming the print server is on Segment A, NT server is on Segment B, and there is a gateway computer between Segment A and Segment B. The network might be a complete
TCP/IP network, or a hybrid of TCP/IP and IPX/SPX network.
If this is the case, you have to adopt the following steps, depending on which platform the gateway computer is. a. If the gateway computer is a NT/UNIX server:
You have to do the same "arp" command to specify an entry on the NT/UNIX computer as a gateway in order for it to forward your subsequent "ping" or/and "tftp" commands to the print server. b. If the gateway computer is a Novell NetWare file server:
1. Due to the presence of this NetWare file server, the IPX/SPX protocol might be used on your network. Therefore, we strongly suggest you run the
PSAdmin
from any client computer and select "
Manual Setup
" to specify the print server's IP address (For more detailed information about Manual Setup, please refer to Chapter 3).

2. If the solution described above is not applicable, you have to follow the instructions below to set up the print server's IP address.
For the purpose of explanation, we assume the NT server is on Segment A and its IP address is
192.72.214.66 (subnet mask: 255.255.255.224), the print server is going to be installed on
Segment B, with IP address, for example, 192.72.214.100.
1. Find an unused IP address on Segment A for temporary use in the following steps, for example,
192.72.214.68.
2. Connect your print server to Segment A as a networked node.
3. On your NT server, type, for example, "arp -s 192.72.214.68 00-40-01-3F-02-AB". Please note, in this arp command you have to type 192.72.214.68 on purpose. Do not type this IP address as
192.72.214.100.
4. Type "tftp 192.722.214.68 get config.txt". The configuration file will then be retrieved and transferred to your NT server.
5. Type "edit config.txt" to modify this configuration file.
6. In your editor, modify "
BoxIPAddress
" field from "0.0.0.0" to "192.72.214.100".
Leave other options as default and do not change their values
. When done, save this new file and quit from your editor.
Please note, in this step you must specify an IP address which is valid on
Segment B, such as 192.72.214.100 in this example, rather than 192.72.214.68.
7. Type, for example, "tftp 192.72.214.68 put config.txt" to save this new configuration back to print server.
8. Move the print server back to the Segment B.
9. Done!

Appendix C: Frequently Asked Questions
1) Question A:
Print jobs are sent to the print queue successfully, but fail to be sent to the printer.
Possible explanations:
1. The Print server Name/Print Queue configuration is incorrect.
2. The Print server name specified and stored in the print server memory doesn’t match the same one.
3. The power adapter connected to the print server is loose or disconnected.
4. The printer is off-line, jammed or out of paper.
Solutions:
1. Check all the information in print port setting.
2. Check all the information of the print server by running PSAdmin.
3. Check to see that if the power adapters are properly connected.
4. Recheck the print server connection by running the PSAdmin.
2) Question B
Print jobs start printing, but print very slowly or print unknown characters.
Possible explanation and solution:
A printer driver is missing or is incompatible with that printer. Using a print driver that is not specific for the printer can cause printing errors. Install the proper printer driver. If these printer drivers are not available to you, please contact your printer manufacturer.
3) Question C
The upgrading process indication bar stops and does not seem to proceed again while upgrading the print server.
Possible Explanation:
There might be a network problem. This causes the upgrading procedure to fail.
Solutions:
52
TL-PS110P Single Parallel Port Fast Ethernet Print Server
1) Check the wireless network connection, especially from the workstation running the
PSAdmin to the print server unit.
2) Upgrade the print server again by PSAdmin or WEB browser.
4) Question D
The setup Wizard can’t find print server.
Possible Explanation:
The Personal Firewall installed in your computer blocks the connection.
