Printer fails after one print?

Post Date: 6/10/13 (Bronze, 3 Posts) Recent Posts

When we print Sales orders, the first print works, then the next one fails.  Some time later, it works again (for one print).  

Running lpstat -a shows something like:

mdx_hp2035_qad2 accepting requests since Tue 11 Jun 2013 12:07:29 PM EDT

The date and time corresponds to the last print request.  It seems the print spooler is maybe crashing with the first print, then restarting?  Any ideas?

Thanks...

Well, rebooting the printer fixed it. Weird...

I have the same issue with one printer. If i print from the UI, the first one prints and then second one nothing happens. But if at the same time If I print a .doc works fine. Tried support because it only happens in the UI but they haven't been able to figure it out. After we reboot the printer it works for a while then happens again.
