I know I'm lowering the signal ratio of the list with this one ;)
I was merely trying to point out that after all this, you should check the
physical connections to that device. If they appear solid, connect a
different printer in its place and see if the same problem exists.
I'll take it off-list if more help is desired.
Thanks,
