Check your port settings in print properties.

Check that you don't have a duplicate IP address. Disconnect the printer from the network; if you can still ping the IP address after that, you'll need to give it a different one.

Ok, little bit odd, having left it over night. I asked my colleague to check the settings (second pair of eyes and all that) and before doing anything else, he clicked to Print a Test page and it worked fine.<br />
We have nothing that runs overnight on the server and previous devices have worked almost instantly. Very peculiar.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any experience with Brother Printers?

Completely overlooked duplicate IP idea. Many thanks.

I have installed a Brother HL-6050DN printer on to Windows Server 2008 Standard with the (only) driver from the Brother website.<br />
The printer pings successfully and resolves to the correct node name.<br />
<br />
When I opt to print a test page from the Print Server, nothing happens. Any suggestions please?

Printer successfully pings but does not print

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.
