Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it but didn't help. Printer didn't print
anything. Issue doesn't seem to be that the computer doesn't see the router
or the printer -- acknowledges both fine and seems to send the info to the
printer. But after printing a few lines, the printer just stops and won't
print anything else.
