    Problem printing with KM-3050

    I hooked this up to my dlink, and set it to recive ip adress from my dhcp in the dlink.

    This worked great, and i got connection and connected to command mode in my browser.

    When i added the printer in windows xp, and added the driver from disk:



    I used the digital signed driver by windows, is this the one i should be using?

    When the driver was added, it printed the test page nicley.

    But on the second computer, when i pushed print, it froze for a while, and then i printed, this happend everytime. Does anybody now what could cause this? The driver, bad connection? The computer itself?

    But then another issue on both computers happend, after a little while, trying to get the scann to work, i wanted to test the print again, but then, i got an error , and it said that the printer was unnavailable, but after a restart, everything worked again, but then it was unavalible again.

    So what could cause this?

    1. The driver?

    2. It was on two computers so i rule out computer fault?

    3. It was on wifi on both computers? Unstableness? Runs wifi in antoher house, and it works ther?

    4. Unstable network cable?

    Any other suggestions? Printer settings etc?

      Your ideas are good, but suspect something else.

      In my experience the loss of connection and slow printing can result from unstable AC power at the wall outlet. I recommend that you hook up a power quality analyzer/recorder and let it run a few days to identify any possible power issues.

      Home offices a well known for overloaded circuits. Even the little desktop printers drawing 10 amps are often enough to make the lights dim (in conjunction with the 50 other things on the same circuit). The KM-3050 draws 14 amps, so it should be the only thing on the circuit. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          Thank you for the nice theory, I would never had thought about this all by my self.

          The lights dim down when it prints that is correct. So i guess its a little bit overloaded.

          But the printer never fall out on the printer control display, it always got light there, But you mean that the unstable ac power supply could interupt the network signal etc?

              I mean that unstable AC will cause the printer to lose network connection, then regain it again later regardless of what you do.
