What mode is your parallel port in?  You might want to try
experimenting with the various PPT modes, ECP, ECP/EPP, and normal. 
With my printer, I was having problems with the PPT mode set to ECP/EPP
and EPP, but the problems went away when I set the mode to either ECP
or normal.

Actually, I don't think this is the case with your printer, but I
thought I would give it a shot.  I think it's a thing with the HP
printers that they seem to not work very well unless you use polling.
