    I bought a brand new Stylus 900N for my company. We have Mac and PCs (guess
    who has the Mac ;-) Anyway, it was replaced within the first week but the
    replacement has the same problem. The E-net card is flaky as all heck. The
    card hangs up for no apparent reason and you have to turn the printer off,
    reseat the card (I am guessing to reset it), power the printer back up and
    print a test page before it comes back on the network. If the printer is
    working fine but you power it down for any reason, you still have to reseat
    the E-net card or it will not work when you turn the power back on. Oh
    well... the printing is superb anyway.
