Unable to Print Using the AppleTalk Network Protocol

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you print to a printer by using the AppleTalk network protocol, your print job may not print at all.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when you use a Printer Control Language (PCL) printer driver to print to a printer that is connected to an AppleTalk network using a Hewlett Packard (HP) JetDirect network printer adapter. When a PCL print job is sent to the printer, the JetDirect adapter formats the data for use with a PostScript printer, and this results in the data being unusable.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, install a PostScript printer driver for your printer. For information about installing a printer driver in Windows NT, see the Setting Up a Printer topic in Windows NT Help.
