First, what OS are you running?

Have you tired to test page print when the printer acts up?

Have you tired the built in Windows Troubleshooter?

Do you see the print job on the PC, or does it send it and forget it?

If you get an error in Windows, what is it?

It is very hard to diagnose this issue without knowing your full setup and all. But I will attempt to help you fix this the best way I know how.

1. Since the test print gives an error and the Windows 7 built in troubleshooting doesn't resolve the issue you'll need to download and install the driver for the printer and the correct OS type (32bit or 64bit). Make sure remove the old driver and reboot before installing the new one. This could tell us if the current driver is corrupt. Judging from your reply this may be the answer.

AR-5516 - AR5516 - Digital Copier / Printer - Archive - Sharp

2. Is there anyway you can connect the printer directly to the PC or Laptop to eliminate the Network as being the issue?

3. If neither of these issues solve the problem I will say the printer maybe the issue, but without seeing any error codes it's going to be a pain in the neck.

Let me know if this helps?
