If your not getting any error codes then I would guess your printer is faulty and needs service or replacement.

test it on another pc with the same document, to show if the printer is the cause or not.

Tested as a text document only on a laptop with a direct connection and it did the same thing.<br />

I will check the print head to see if it is overheating or if it is being blocked by debris..<br />
Thanks for all the Input!

yep - looks like heating head (what does &nbsp;not heat up these days?)

Will stop printing in the middle of a job as if waiting for the information to buffer but never continues. &nbsp;No alerts, no beeps. &nbsp;Main logic board has been replaced and worked fine for a couple of days then reverted to previous stopping. &nbsp;Now it is completely useless because the information will have to be deleted and retried and the same scenario will fulfill each time...print a few pages then stop...<br />
Drivers are up to date, operating on Server 2003 with an external print server, but does same thing in direct hook-up minus the print server. &nbsp;Cables have been replaced also. &nbsp;Have a DFX5000 that works fine sitting right beside of it.<br />

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

Peripherals

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
