The printer you are sending the document to
Check if the printout of the associated application is correct.
Create a new "Notepad" and just type in some text, then click "Print" on "File" menu, if you can print the test document, it should be something wrong with your current printer application. Check if WPS, CCED, Word or other applications select the proper printer; If the print files are generated by printer application, please check if the printout is correct. Reinstall the printer program.

How can you prove a printer problem is not with the printer itself but lies with the network computer OS or application?
It depends on printer. For laser printers it's very easy to do, just print out test page using controls located on the printer itself. With other printer is harder because of absence of testing interface. The only choice you have is to connect the printer to computer try to get it printing. If does on one computer and does not do it somewhere else you point is proved.

It is a software driven hardware device. Part of the laser printer hardware is an embedded computer (a computer that the user is usually not aware of) that runs the printer mechanism control software stored in ROM (software stored in ROM is usually called firmware, because it cannot be changed as easily as software stored in RAM). This printer mechanism control software coordinates the functions of all the hardware mechanism of the printer and is much smaller than custom designed logic circuits that would do the same thing without an embedded computer.
