Not necessarily the printer server. It can be the interface card in the
printer. Self test still work but you cannot print through the
interface. Hook something else up to the printer using the same
interface and print a test page. If it works, then look at the print
server, else you just proved the interface card died.

Subject: RE: Print server prints gibberish

I agree with you on that Charles. If I take the print server off, and
request a config page from the IBM 6400 itself, it prints normally, so
it's definitely something about the print server.

I did remove the ribbon cable end-piece from the card slot yesterday and
it's no longer touching metal. The end-piece is where the print server
connects and I wonder if the lack of metal to metal contact at the
ribbon end-piece is eliminating a required ground and thus causing the
sever to send gibberish??
