I've come across the same problem using a HPDJ-990 under Mandrake 9.1
- but only a few times.  I have come to the conclusion that it only
happens with very large files - specifically files that contain a lot
of full-colour photographic illustrations.  Nothing on earth makes
the behaviout go away once that happens. except..

If I split the file down and print only a couple (maybe up to 4) pages
at a time, they print fine.  I get the impression that more data is
being passed than the printer (or CUPS?) can handle, causing
confusion.

Maybe you have a similar situation?  HTH
