If you turn the printer off, and print an invoice, there should be a text file in directory /usr/spool/lpd/invoice4
Open this file to determine if:
There are printer escape sequences at the beginning. (The first line of the print file is not the first printed line of the invoice.)
There are more than 80/85 (assuming 10 characters per inch on 8 1/2 inch wide form)characters per line.
Copy this file, and send it to one of the other printers, does it print correctly?
(lp -dinvoice3 filename)

okay, I'll try that. I'll let you know what happens

If just turning the printer off does not cause the print file to be left on the server, also disconnect the network cable from the printer/print_ethernet_adapter. Some of these ethernet adapters will buffer the print file, with the consequence that the print file will be deleted on the server.
