Is there anything we can do to prevent this? Or is it just caused by
network traffic. Because we tried 10 minutes later and it worked fine."

Jim -

Like Mike, I see this message quite often, too.  Unlike Mike, it usually
winds up being another job already printing on that printer (from a PC
app).  Luckily, the report doesn't usually begin printing again from page
1.  Not sure what you would do to prevent it but it seems to me that your
first chore is to determine whether it's duplicate addresses, other
reports, or something else.

Only if you add the static printer address to the list of addresses that
are not handed out by DHCP.

HTH,
