I have a hybrid wired/wireless network. I have two Okidata 5200n printers. When a print job is sent to either one,, it tries to process the file and may even get one sheet out. Then, it seems to churn a little and then reset itself. The PC that sent the print job shows the job failed. Then, the Oki tries to print again. Now, it will get out 2 sheets (maybe) and then it starts all over again with the churning and resetting. Then, maybe 3 pages (or not), ad nauseum. This is happening on both printers and print jobs are being sent from XP and Vista workstations. Files are powerpoint, word, etc.
Any ideas?

You hit the nail on the head. It wasn't an issue of modifying the settings on the PCs - it was the fact that the switch that it was connected to was bad. That meshes with some other problems we were having. They all tied into bad ports on the same switch. I replaced the switch and all is well. Thanks!

Sounds like timeout issues.
Make sure that in print driver>advanced tab,spooling is set to "start printing after the last page has spooled" for all printers
in the ports tab, disable bidirectional support.
