We have the same printers and Magic and have never had any problems.  We
have six I class all together and the only issues we have are users turning
down the brightness on the displays and the paper sensor getting pushed too
far to the back of the printer.

I would suspect the Magic system and not the printers since you have the
same issue on two printers, unless you have four and the other two are
working fine.  What do you do to get them working again?  Is it possible
that the port on the switch is causing you problems?  

If resetting the printers is what you are doing to get it working again, I
would disconnect the network cables, wait 15 seconds and then reconnect them
to see if it reinitiates the port on the switch to test that theory.
Essentially when you reset the printer you are doing this as well, this will
narrow down the ports as a possibility.  It is just odd that you would have
the same problem develop on two printers from a power hit.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] label printers for lab


Good Day,

We are Magic 5.4 SR3 site.  For the past month we have been experiencing
intermittent problems with our label printers.  We have 2 Datamax I class
that we have been using since June of 06.  They have worked just fine until
we had a hard downtime about a month ago.  When the system came back up, the
only lingering problem concerned printing issues.  The lab did not
experience any of these problems.  

Now, about once a day the printers (both of them) will cease to print.  The
print queue shows the jobs waiting.  MIS will clear the queues and cancel
jobs, and many times the printers will be ok for a while-but sometimes you
can't even force print labels.  Meditechs solution----set the printers up as
local. 

Has anyone experienced anything similar or maybe have a solution?
