Terry; just a thought; you don't say, but I will assume wireless networking via router ? could the IP address of the printer have changed ? I had such a problem; the IP address is now locked to the MAC address !
No it's a wired network connection, from router to D-Link DP-301P+ print server. The Win7 laptop talks via wireless to the router. The IP address shouldn't be the problem. If that was the problem I wouldn't be able to print from Xpdf (Fedora), and a few print tasks from the Win7 laptop do print, although many of those don't result in a 100% correct output. I think the printer is meant to be capable of PS level 2, and I'm not sure what Win7 (or any its applications) does with it's print jobs, but assume there is some pdf to ps conversion going on somewhere in the process...likewise on Fedora. Maybe Fedora Document Viewer and Win7 are trying to talk PS level 3, but I'm only guessing. Hopefully someone has some idea about how it all works. Thanks for thinking about it.
