When 'n print to a network printer using a jetdirect printserver i get a pcl xl error. The jetdirect is set to use the ipx protocol and my workstasions default protocol is ip. When i set the workstation to default ipx it work correctly most of the time.

My question: Is it the driver of the printer or the comunication over the network?

PS.Most of the error messages happens When using a custom template in ms word.
 
Try updating the firmware of the JD printserver. Also a large job or complex job might cause this error to occur. Another thing causing these errors might be, that the job being printed extends the border margins of the printers. If printing PDF documents use a PS driver if possible, as this one usually can handle the jobs faster. Adding additional memory to the printer might be an idea as well.
