Our small office is on a peer to peer network using a Linksys 16 port switch. We have a HP color laserjet printer networked using a Jet Direct card in the printer. The printer used to be a local printer that was shared on the network and worked fine. The printer works fine for most printing, but now has a problem printing multiple pictures consecutively. The printer will print 2 to 5 pictures and then stop printing.
I called the printer company (HP) and worked with their printer expert and their Jet Direct expert. They had me hook a computer directly to the printer with a cross over cable. The printer printed multiple pictures with no problems. The printer experts tell me it is a problem with the switch.
This is the only problem we have on the network. How do I diagnose the switch problem when it seems to work fine in all other situations?
