I have that exact same printer at the office. I get the same thing when trying 
to print PDF's. It takes ages to print, and it's not a Linux problem as the 
Windows clients have the same issue. Sometimes the printer sits there saying 
"processing job" forever, then eventually returns to "Ready" without printing 
anything. I think the printer is running out of ram to store the Postscript 
data, but I'm not sure.
