My printer will print about 10 passes and then stop printing and i'll get a Failed to Print error.

We print from Corel and use Powerdriver XG-8.

Everything worked fine until I had a computer crash.

Once I got my computer rebooted again, it hasn't worked since.

I reinstalled Corel Draw, hoping that would fix it, but that didnt work either.

Any ideas?

Does the printer work with it's native driver, if it does, it's the software, if it doesn't it's the printer.

It's the software as in the Print Driver (Powerdriver)?

It did print from the Epson Driver.

You might try re-installing Powerdriver.

We've
uninstalled/reinstalled - Corel
unistalled/reinstalled - Powerdriver
Changed USB cables
Bought a new shorter usb cable

now...

it prints one thing that we've printed in the past.
it won't print something new i just did. (2 different things won't print.)

It keeps Erroring out.

to complicate things more...

i took the file that printed (56Kb) and put a large color square behind it (128KB) and it would not print. Same file, but with a large square behind it (one project was towels i was trying to print).

If it prints one file and not another - IT'S THE FILE!!!!!!
Try with other files and the same file without bits of it, i.e. delete elements until you find the one that's bad, usually eps or similar.

i would think the same thing.

but the file that printed fine...I added a solid square...brand new, just drew it...behind the image and it would not print it.

So late last night we finally moved the printer to the other computer to try that, and it worked fine. Printed the file that would not print on my computer, printed it out just fine.

So it's definitly a software issue somewhere, but we've unitstalled/reinstalled Corel and the Powerdriver.
