Novell NetWare troubleshooting
Troubleshooting for the Windows-based PC consists of both hardware and software procedures. The
steps in each of these procedures should eliminate cabling, communication, and connection problems
associated with direct-connected ports. Complete one of these procedures (based on the type of port
being used), then run a test print from your software application. If the job prints, no further system
troubleshooting is necessary. For problems with the appearance of your document, once it has printed,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on the Interactive Documentation CD-ROM.
