    Could it be a network problem? Like the router rebooting so the printer loses connection to the rip?

    Really annoying over that length though

    It happened yesterday (Monday_ day of the storm) all I can put it down to was a power surge or something which interrupted the electrics..the lights occasionally dimmed too…printed another without a problem…

    I have my Roland on an uninterruptible power supply, not enough to power it for long at all but works a treat for power spikes and when the lights dim etc! Although you have to have the PC and router/network switch on a UPS aswell otherwise it’ll stop anyway.

    If it was during a power drop the the router probably dropped out and the print would have stopped as the rip couldn’t see the printer on the network
