Plotter Won't Plot

Hello,

We have a DesignJet 1055 that we've used since 2006.  We generate plot file in Proe and plot directly to the plotter using this command:

lpr -S 192.168.0.10 -P 192.168.0.10

That's worked fine since we got the plotter in 2006, but now it's not working.  I'm asking IT to double check the plotter's IP address and other issues, but I wondered what else might cause this to stop working.  The plot files are being created and I can view them in Product View Express, so the problem is not in plot file generation.

I am able to plot via the Windows dialog boxes, but I'd rather not as it's more steps and prone to errors as a result.  Besides, we invested the time a while ago configuring the plotter and Proe for one click plotting.

Any ideas?
