Don't forget Christine
OK, this really sounds like a driver issue. Star Micronics can drive you crazy with drivers. Unbelievable. At some point, I would have them choose a driver -- better yet have them choose the driver and remote in and install it, etc. Make sure it works.
I wouldn't worry about all of the diagnostics and print test pages other than to get all of the parameters.
On the pc that solves the wirless problem, can you install a driver on it and print from there? If so, can you share that print driver and use it on the other computers? Sometimes you have to make it the default driver.
On the IP address of the computer's print driver, are you using the IP of the computer with the wireless set up or the Star printer? Sorry I am a little confused. I think you are saying it connects to the PC and then you use the computer's IP.
Can you run an Ethernet cord directly to the switch?
That really sounds weird with the Star becoming its own wireless router. Something seems wrong there. Do you have a small wireless router you could obtain an IP address on and attach the printer to it? It still seems it would be easiest to send it back for a USB model if they still make them.
