postscript.
Is the ghostscript package and it's fonts properly installed?
Here's what I show (that I know to looks for, although I presume that if this shows, other dependencies must have been resolved since I use yum for virtually all installations):
$ rpm -qa | grep ghost ghostscript-8.15.2-9.1.el5.x86_64 ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1.1.noarch ghostscript-8.15.2-9.1.el5.i386
If you enscript a text file and print it does it come out ok?
Not quite sure how to do this, but here's what I did:
Used gedit to create a pdf of a text file, then AR to print it - fine. Used AR to create a ps file from the pdf, then printed it - fine. Used gedit to print to the generic postscript printer (lpr) and - came out fine.
Text is not a problem, just something about these graphic pdfs (and any graphics file from the GIMP). Note that the image viewer prints jpeg graphics just fine, too.
Ok, so it's not a general postscript failure, but maybe just EPS...
If the printer needs a hard-reset to recover then it is probably because the printer isn't fully PCL compatible as it advertises, can you try using an HP Deskjet engine which does PCL 3?
