Checking the client status
Problem Description
The printing problems are caused by the printer driver settings, network settings, errors in the network connections, and so forth. First, contact the administrator of the equipment to see if there is one of these kinds of problem, or see the following sections:
P.66 “Printer Driver Problems”
P.68 “Network Connection Problems”

Another possible cause is one related to a client. If the print jobs sent from a specific client within a network fails, the problem may be caused by the client.
