Samsung CLP-510 error

Hi,
I'm having an issue with this printer and the AEBS.
My question is whether or not I have a setting incorrect?
Here is the situation:

printer is connected to the AEBS using 3 usb connections
(I screwed up and bought the incorrect longer type).
Anyhoo, in printing from a pc, i can print the test page.
But I can't print a file from CorelDraw.

However, if i disconnect the usb from the AEBS and connect
directly to the pc, it works just fine. Everything prints as it should.

So, to Google I went and found this post which basically says
that it's either a cheap cable or too long of a cable. I could believe
that, but the location of my PC is further away than the location of
the AEBS.

I was thinking the file size of the CDraw file is too large, but why would
it print directly from the PC and not from the AEBS?

Are there any settings which limit the amount of data sent to the AEBS?

The error I get from the printer is:

SPL-C ERROR - FALSE
Position: 0x67a80
System: SPL/XL_image
Line: 511
Version: SPL-C 1.28 09-15-2004

Any help or direction would be great.
I've doublechecked the aebs settings.

Cheers,
Keebler

I think the reference you provided is on the right track as far as explaining why a test page prints correctly, but a graphics page does not. However, in your case the explanation has nothing to do with the length of your USB cable. In your case, it likely has to do with the fact that data transmission stream (particularly the transmission of the large amount of data that makes up a color graphics page) over a wireless network connection is not as constant as what it is over a direct USB connection. Your printer may be interpreting small drops in the data stream as an incomplete transmission, and it then terminates the job. If this assumption is correct, your only solution is to cable your computer directly to this printer for printing anything other than plain text or very small graphics.

Thanks Henry.

Your post makes total sense.
Thanks.

I removed 1 cable from the 3 (distance was an issue)
and it works.

I have this error also. I have an iMac, my son has a MacBook, and my wife has a Windows Desktop.

I could print from the iMac and my son from the MacBook. My wife could never print from the Windows machine.

We got a new MacBookPro. My son can print from his MacBook and my wife can print from her Windows machine. I can't print from the MacBookPro.

This is all from Airport Express. Only one cable to the printer.

I'm wondering if the Network, or the printer, will only support 2 computers at a time?
