Jag forstar inte det!! HUH?? Signal Ratio? Dude, I'm a web guy! You're
talking over my head so much I'll have to start using $50 apologetic
phrases like "Ontological" in response.

There are no physical connections apart from the printer being connected
to the router like all of the PCs. The connections are solid and the
"bad" machines can ping the printer IP. They just can't print, not even
a test page. And there is no "different printer", we're a very tiny
company and have only one printer.
I'm taking this off-list now to avoid further off-topic threading
diversion issues.
