Ring buffer filling up likely.
What do you think would be filling the buffer?

Ring buffers are tiny. It would be getting filled with ICMP caching or something of that nature.

hmmm... That network has 3 other printers of that same model and none of them act like that, so maybe there is something flaky going on in the hardware of that particular one.

What brand model?

The printer is working. I was just wondering if anyone else had seen that behavior before.
Never seen anything like it - very interesting
Have you run pings to other devices on your network to eliminate some possibilities?

I've seen this before. Usually it's latency on the network causing fluctuation in ping times, when it's local. When it's remote, there are so many variables and links in the chain, as it were, it's hard to know where the issues lies exactly. But it could be latency, failing NIC, failing port, old cable in the wall causing issues, EMI, etc.

It could be a bad networking cable. Had an AS400 once that had huge problems because of a bad LAN cable.

It's a Zebra GK420d label printer. I can ping any other device on the LAN with pings <1ms.

It could easily be a bad patch cable. I've never seen one act like that, but who knows. It's cheap and easy to test.

Change the cable and go from there.
