Printer error (offending command: timeout)

I have been using an iMac with an OKI C530dn laser printer for years. I recently purchased a new iMac running on OS X 10.8.2 and downloaded the print drivers. Printing has been fine, but everytime I print, I receive an added page the says:


ERROR: timeout

OFFENDING COMMAND: timeout

I would appreciate any advice. Thank you, JJS

I have the exact same issue with my Okidata C330dn. After every print job, it prints off an extra page with that error message. This has been happening for 6 months now since I bought a (late 2012) imac. I updated to Mavericks but the problem remains. I have tried redownloading and installing any drivers I can find, but nothing has changed. Over the past half year, I have compiled probably 500 sheets of paper with the following error:


ERROR: timeout

OFFENDING COMMAND: timeout

Is there really no solution to this madness? It appears from the original post, at least 20 other people have seen this post and are having the same issue.
