I have daily problems with having to reset a HP LaserJet 5N Printer before it will print successfully. Once I reset the printer it works fine for the rest of that day Then the next day, I have the same problem. This is really more of an annoyance right now, but will become a problem once we start using multiple printers in multiple locations via this mechanism Why is this occurring? If you can help shed some light on this, I d love the understand what s happening and how to correct it!!! Thanks!
