(M1533) Socket Error Sending Data, (M1558) Connection reset by peer

Explanation

This error is typically caused by a network connectivity issue and indicates the connection was abruptly terminated by the printer.

This condition normally results if the peer application on the printer is suddenly stopped, the printer is rebooted, the printer or it's network interface is disabled, or the printer uses a hard close. This error may also result if a connection was broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while one or more operations are in progress.

Solution

Somehow the printer has gone offline or the power was shut off.  Reset the printer and try again. This will usually resolve the problem.
