For some reason when I print with the network printer it says "document failed to print." But if I try and print the same document again it prints. I have to press the print function multiple times just to get the one page to print. Why is this? Thanks for any help!

Yup it's a hardware problem. I had that problem once and it turned out to be that the cable runs were too long. This created a power drop and not all of the information made it to the printer. Try using shorter cables if you can. If not, you can add a usb hub. It'll serve as a supplemental power supply.

The printer is going into sleep mode perhaps and has to have multiple pokes to get it to wake up. Go to your printer in your control panel and right click on the printer icon. See if there is a setting that you can adjust to make sure the printer is always available to the network.
If no such setting exists you may need to cycle the printer on and off to make sure its awake and ready for use.
