Hi All

I have an Optra r+ on XP network. Pings OK but only sends blank pages, even from Printer Test Page. Prints OK via LPT 1, all appears ok in Markvision. Any help welcome.
 
not too helpful, but some things to try:
i had same problem with networked Optra S 1855 ...
no error messages, prints fine on parallell, can be pinged (and flashed) on the network but make it live and nothing happens - apart from cycling through busy/waiting states.
second printer on same port worked fine.
tried changing the network card (with a working one); still no joy.
at whcih point i decided it was either the engine board or the controller board - too expensive to fix, so have bought new printer for netowrk and will let some lucky user have monster personal printer!
