HP CLJ 5550 Printe
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a Networked HP CLJ  5550 printer that stopped printing.  I can ping it, and it shows ready.  The print job will even flash in the que but nothing ever prints.   I have re-installed the drivers.  Also removed the printer from the print server and added it back in but still nothing.  I know it's probably something real simple but I can't figure it out.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Do reports or test jobs from the Control Panel on the printer come out? Is the network integrated into the formatter or does this have a separate JetDirect card plugged in? Network Card may have failed.

I can ping the printer from a remote workstation so the JD card is fine and I have a link light on the switch and on the printer itself.  Reports/test jobs print out from the printer control panel just fine.
