Minolta 5430DL Drops Network Print Requests

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hey Folks,

I just bought a Minolta 5430DL and it has a problem when it receives
numerous print jobs from my network. I am printing postcards with the
printer via MS Publisher, and the application breaks the print jobs,
which includes address information via mail merge, into sets of 5 pages
at a time. Each page consists of two postcards. If I print more than 75
pages (150 postcards) at a time, the printer starts dropping print
jobs. I find that a contiguous list of postcards will not get printed;
between 10 and 20 at a time.

Using a Minolta 2300DL works fine in the same environment. I assume
this is either a bad network interface on the 5430DL or a configuration
problem on the printer.

Can anybody point me to a fix?

Thanks,

Steve
