Hi Ashley, The message being captured via ifhp is the end of job commands from a Windows PostScript printer driver. You might want to check and see whether the working Lexmark Optra T616 printers are receiving their ifhp information via a Windows PCL 5e or PCL 6 printer driver instead of a PostScript printer driver.
