daft as it may seem, have you tried shutting everything down and rebooting? computer included? also… have you tried sending a different file?
silly maybe, but its worked in the past for me for now real reason i could figure.

it is related to computer side thats for certain.

Hey rob,
Yeh tried shutting down and re-booting the machine, at first I thought a crappy cable or something but no joy!

try the pc too mate, try a new file also. just send something you have done before and see if that prints? worth a go? 😀
-
If like me you ‘accidentaly’ gathered a collection of ripped jobs that came to hundreds of gigabytes – ditch the stuff out of the lists / queues you are not likely to ever use again…like 99% of it!
Sped up the PC & Wasatch no end.
MAY help.

Room temperature could be too cold or maybe power saving on pc shutting it down?

Agree with Andy on this one, we had the same problem turned out to be room temperature….We placed a small heater under the control unit of our roland and its set on a timer so it comes on about 2 hours before we get to work…..It works a treat…
Being a typical man i refuse to read manuals, if i had done in the case of our printing problem it very clearly states that the machine needs to be run at a certain temperature.

Great tips guys – many thanks..
Got the IT guy coming next week so that should tell me if its a PC thing..
Cheers all..

I had the same problem on both my SP540 and RS640.
As you said, if you switch the printer off and on again, it works fine again.
Turns out the problem was with the network connections. The computer was on the wireless LAN for the office, and the printer would stop as soon as the antivirus did a network scan. I disabled my W LAN, and no problems since.
Touch wood. (Been OK for 2 months since, so maybe I’m out of the woods on this one!)
Now I’ve got a dozen flashdrives circulating between me and the designers – a problem all on it’s own 🙄

I’ve had this happen about 3 times in the 4-5 years I’ve had the Cadet, I just ended up switching off the printer and leaving it for a few minutes and then switching it back on again. Seems to have worked every time.
I’ve also got mine on a large UPS, computers as well.Steve

so…the saga continues…..
turned out today the thing will not work at all.
can open a job in troop, rip it and send to print but no communication to the printer..the printer will print test prints and enviro math etc so no probs there??
do you thing un installing and re installing troop might help????

Have you tried changing the cable to the printer intermittent fault? Maybe its just jealous of the Mimaki?

Sounds a bit more serious than just needing to reinstall troop.
Go onto the Roland site and download the printer driver, this installs a separate printer so you can print from Corel etc.
It may already be installed so check in your printers.If you can print from say Corel then it’s Troop, if not it’s the cable, usb port or the board on the printer.
Try another cable or usb port as well.

If this cadet thing is connected to the PC via network cables, then I am thinking it is DHCP and routers. Have you recently changed your router?
-
The 300’s are connected by USB Dave, or they were, maybe the later ones are network connection?
Steve
-
USB Drop out can be a USB power issue if using stupid USB hubs…. what else… microsoft runs the driver so cant blame them…. try and different usb socket sir
-
tip top…
got a new lead today so will try all of the above and let you know what happens..
