Can you print from other systems to this printer? This may give you clue as to whether it is your HPUX system or the printer itself.

Try also to power cycle the printer and the external printer interface card (AXIS Jet-Direct)

Yes it is working fine with other systems. I only have this problem on one server only. Nothing has been installed recently.

Hi!

That really looks like a message generated by the printer.

You may try if the printer is able to print data at all... this could be done for JetDirect interfaces using telnet, e.g.:

(
banner test
echo '\014'
) | telnet IP-Addr 9100

This whould be for JetDirect port 0... maybe you need to use 9101 or 9102 instead.

Best regards...
Dietmar.

Dietmar,

I tried what you suggested. But I am getting
network unreachable error. ip add is pingable from system.
I tried the same on another good system but it also gave me same error.

Hi,

Try

cat | telnet 9100

Where a.b.c.d is Ip address of the jet direct.

Hi

Is the document postscript

Postscript error: stackunderflow
General description

An operand stack overflow has occured. Your RIP or printer has received less data than it expected.

Solutions

This may indicate a problem with the driver or an interference from a separate utility.

Try simplifying the document.

=====================================

stackunderflow

What happened:
OFFENDING COMMAND: any operator.
An operator has attempted to remove an item from the OPERAND STACK when the stack is already empty. Check the PostScript reference documentation to see how many operands the operator shown requires. The operator requires at least one more operand than is currently displayed on the OPERAND STACK.
What you can do:
This probably represents a transmission error or an application error. If the error occurred in a specific file, try printing that file alone. If that does not work, the file is damaged or an application error has occurred. Save the file in PostScript format. Call your application support and have the printed error page for reference.

If you are programming in PostScript, make sure that you have placed all the required operands onto the OPERAND STACK before executing the listed operator. The PROGRAM CONTINUES listing will show you exactly where this error occurred in your program.

Steve Steel
