Ok. Well, the printer is an ML 395. I guess I can try using the other
emulation types again, and try out the appropriate driver.

Printing from console apps on the Linux side is okay. I'll try printing
the OOo document directly from the Windows PC.

Tried that too. I did the dedicated print server test because I wanted
to make sure the parallel port on the server wasn't busted or maybe
misconfigured in the BIOS. It wasn't though - the print server messed
things up too.
I'm starting to think the printer is just broken - maybe the other
emulation types just don't work.
Thanks for your help.
