Destination host unreachable.

Pausing a job due to data starvation
If job data is slow to arrive at the printer from the computer, the printer will move the carriage
to the home position temporarily while it waits for data. When sufficient data is received,
printing will automatically resume. When a job pauses due to slow data reception, the
Printing –
job name
screen displays.
Some causes of data starvation include: slow computer processing of data, busy network traffic,
slow network connection, and excessive processing on the computer during data transmission.
