This indicate USB problems - i.e. problems regarding the plain data transfer via USB - this has nothing to do with printer drivers.

Try the parallel port (I guess this printer has one). See the manual and http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/04/jsmeix_print-device-paralle l.html how to set up a parallel port if is doesn't work out-of-the-box.

Thanks a lot Johannes, Is it possible that faulty printer memory may too cause these symptoms? The usb board on the printer has been replaced, the usb ports on the motherboard have been replaced and a new cable is being used. I tried the parallel port in the past too, and the printers response became very slow too; although there were no errors in the log. Regards Peter Sutter
