It started with two 3000cn units where the local driver printed the pdf's colors correctly and the network driver printed them incorrectly. Tech support told us to trade those in for 3100cns, which I did. The first 3100 was hooked up to the network and both the PS and PCL drivers were loaded. Although the PS network driver produced a better looking result from the pdf than the PCL, they were both the wrong shades and very different from the local driver of the 3000 (I haven't been able to hook up the second 3100 to a local machine yet since it won't recognize it's 250 sheet feeder, so I cna't load the toner). In fact, printint the real document from Quark with the PS driver produces a much better result than the pdf of that document. That doesn't make any sense.

As well, the network PS driver for the 3100 won't collate PDF files, but it will Powerpoints. I haven't tried the PCL driver since the color quality is so bad. Tech support wants me try newer drivers, but I doubt that will work since it didn't for the 3000.

Does anyone have any idea why the network and local rivers are so different and why the network drivers are so incorrect? Our server runs windows 2003. The local machine that the 3000 was hooked up to was a windows 2K. According to the drivers, it is the same driver for W2K, XP and Server 2003.

Thanks.
