laserwriter 360 not responding

My old (and I mean old) faithful Laserwriter 360 has stopped responding. I've used it to connect to my blue & white g3 running 9.2.2 through an Asante Ethernet / Appletalk bridge for years. Then all of a sudden, nothing. Yes, it shows up in chooser, Yes, I've reloaded drivers. And the idiot lights on the Asante blink like crazy, just nothing happens on the printer end.

I'm assume it died somehow, but is there a way to test to make sure its actually getting a signal, or something?

Any ideas? Thanks.

Have you turned off the Laserwriter, waited five minutes, then turned it back on?
And while this may seem simple - is there paper in the tray? Too much paper or too little paper will cause this problem.

Thanks. You are right these seem simple, but it often is the simple things isn't it.

I'll give it another go tonight. Drove me crazy all weekend, probably spent way too much time on this already when a new, better, faster machine is probably the best next step.

Thanks for responding.
