Re: 8-10% packet error/loss is normal wired network?

Yes, that's right. If one device has its speed and duplex set manually with
autonegotiation off, and the other device has autonegotiation on, the
device with autonegotiation on will be able to detect the speed setting of
the other device but not the duplex setting, so it will default to half
duplex.

Flako: Are these managed or unmanaged switches?

Since the OP didn't mention anything about whether the switch the 
printer is connected to is manageable or not, I assumed that it's an 
unmanaged dumb switch with no duplex settings possible (i.e., these are 
usually set to autonegotiate). Since OP's printer is set to full duplex 
and has autonegotiation disabled and is directly connected to an 
autonegotiating switch, that means the port on the switch which OP's 
printer is connected to will failover into half-duplex. So there's a 
duplex mismatch right there, no?
