I have coworker with a new MacBook Pro that has trouble with network printing in the office. We are on a mostly Windows network and use a networked Lexmark T630. I can print fine with my G4, but the Macbook is funky. It will send the print job and the printer spools and then starts to print, but never picks up paper and finishes the job. I reinstalled drivers and it printed a page from Word with "test" printed on it, but didn't work with a .pdf that was sent next. Any ideas on this strange issue?

Network-oriented questions go in the Networking forum, so I'll move this one there...

Do you have the Lexmark drivers (for that model) installed on your MacBook?
I do not like those green links and spam.

The drivers are all installed and up to date. I just can't figure out why it prints some documents and not others.
