Question Sharp MX-3050N Printer Issues

[mrallanson]

There is a Sharp MX-3050N printer in one of the offices in my building. It takes hours to print out a simple document. When I go to the Job Status screen, it says that the print is "Rendering." It is a network printer. I have to actually unplug the printer from the switch and then plug it back in for it to start printing normally for a while. I'm not sure why it's not staying consistent with printing. I have uninstalled and re-installed the printer and drivers and it will work for a little while and then it gets stuck again.

That's one beefy printer.

I suggest asking help from your company IT department. They should have the know-how on how do deal with that enterprise level hardware. Another option would be contacting Sharp and asking them for support.

My guess, printer falls into some form of sleep mode. Hence why it is so lazy to print the stuff after some time has elapsed while it has been on idle.
