To test the "cheap printer" theory, conceivably you could drive the printer using a standalone JetDirect-style network print server (ethernet-to-parallel or ethernet-to-USB) and see if you get some different results. That'd probably isolate the problem to the printer's in-built JetDirect-like server.
Is it possible something (firewall, router) is blocking UDP? And/or port 9101? I guess some printers need that/use that. - - - - - Timothy Sipples Consulting Enterprise Software Architect IBM Japan, Ltd.
