Kevin,
There's probably a "Test Print" option on the printer itself, so you
should try that. If it fails, you've a hardware or firmware problem.
I'd also check if any of the toner cases is damaged/leaking, and replace
it/them.
I would doubt if it's a LAN/driver problem, unless someone recently
changed drivers/settings.
