thanks i got the password its
"Fiery.1" without the quotes..

when i send a job to the rip via the fiery command work station it processes but it wont print the job how do i fix this...

My first guess is that the driver (on the pc) is set to send the job to the hold queue (default, iirc). Go to the properties for that printer, click the Ports tab. Highlight the port that's checked and click Configure Port. In The LPR Settings box, change the port name from hold to direct.

i changed the settings the job is going from the rip to the printer but its still not printing are there any other settings i could change to make it print
i have changed the paper settings on the printer i have but it keeps asking for paper weight and size to be put in the draws i have done all that but still it wont print....

i managed to get it working i had to change the paper settings on the printer....

how do i get the model of the finisher coz i would like to know it capabilities and set them up to use them..
i ask because it did not come with all those details as it is a second hand machine....

Go into the driver properties and click the configuration tab. If there's an auto-config option, use it. If not, and you're not sure what you have, EFI does a pretty good job of creating a graphic right there in the config section. Add the options that look like what's on the machine.

Open the front door and look at the sticker.
