Nothing.  Zero.  No printing.

Still nothing.  I notice all the other machines in the
office use the Microsoft PCL driver for this printer. 
But looking at the printer config page, postscript
does not seem to be turned off.  I've tried using the
422 PCL-XL driver, but it does not pring pdf's either.

Well, now it's not printing this way at all.  But on
days when it feels like it, yes it prints 20 pages of
junk instead of the one page pdf file from KPDF.
