I guess I can try using the other emulation types again, and try out the appropriate driver. > Can you do a test to the printer from the Windows box?

I'll try printing the OOo document directly from the Windows PC. > It would be much less troublesome to just use a dedicated print server as we do. 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.
