OK, so I'm trying to print to a Sharp AR-M455N printer, it's set up as an IP printer, printing over a network. I've downloaded and installed the drivers, and Printer Setup recognizes it - I go to print, and the print util spools, and says it is printing, and yet it does not. Any ideas? I can print successfully to other printers on the same network.
Thanks!

OK, so I have it set up so that OSX recognizes the printer, and I have the settings correct. When I go to print, the Sharp whirs as if it is warming up to print, but does nothing. OSX tells me the document printed successfully, but it didn't.
Any clues?
Thanks!

Perhaps you should check that the printer uses the correct language by default. I had to set my Kyocera printer to PS as default printer language before it would print correctly (I knew about this, though).
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

I don't have access to the printer configs unfortunately - this is a machine in an office that only supports PCs. Any ideas on how to work around this? Thanks!
