Printer is recieving print command, but no data

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

I am on a home office network, and have been unable to use my printer.
The printers are connected to the internet by a small print server,
since none of them are network ready by default. I can tell the printer
to print, and it will put a page through, but nothing is printed, as if
the printer has recieved no data. I have compared all the port settings
on my computer to those on the network that can successfully use the
printer, and there is no difference. What am I missing?

Thanks

Try this. Delete the network printer from your computer. Then re add the
printer back. I had similar problems in the past for a laserjet. It was
how I fixed the problem. Don't know ehy though.
