Question : Trouble installing Panasonic Printer/Copier devices on SBS 2008

What do I need to do to get Panasonic multifunction printer/copiers printing on SBS 2008?

The models in question are DP-8016P and DP-8025. I found and installed drivers from Panasonic websites, and the printers appear correctly in my Printers folder. If I go into properties I can see the driver properties such as number of trays, etc.

I can PING the printer, but when I send a print job and watch on the Windows printer monitor for that printer, I see a job pass through and get "printed", but nothing comes out of the printer.

How can I remedy this situation?

Soem Panasonic Printer/Copiers (mine is a DP8060) seem to have trouble with PCL5 and PCL6 drivers.  The have their own driver that I've used successfully on a Windows 2008 x64 print server which is servicing XP Pro x32 clients.

See if you can install one of their GDI drivers, instead of PCL.  After I did that all the clients worked.
