Having a cups front-end would let you inspect the job. Keep in mind
that the JetDirect card in the thing is a print-server itself, with
diagnostics and other crap on-board.
Someone mentioned a broken or half-eaten driver from a power-outage.
That sounds more likely.
The JetDirect will report the job sender's IP address, when you have
the syslog turned on. Add the -R flag for Remote to your syslogd rc
script. If there's a disk in the thing, it may be configured to log there.

Another option might be to hook up the network printer to an old school
network *hub* and then hook up another computer, running Wireshark to
sniff the packets.

Hello Howard,
Is there any chance of configuring a box as a firewall to the printer so
you could see if there is any traffic to the printer and exactly where
it is originating? No firewall rules need to be there, but it would
make it possible to see what the traffic looks like and find out a bit
about the origin.
Beside the possibility that the software in the printer is corrupt, or
it has a hardware problem, that would tell which direction to go with
that problem.
