Lite print on Laserjet 5 using jetdirect in Leopard

I originally ran into this problem right after Leopard shipped, and got a resolution for it via gutenprint in March/April.  I added a new machine to the network and wanted to hook up the printer and I ran into the same problem.

  I updated to the latest guten/pxlmono/ghostscript etc like before, but the chosen PPD get me a work around like before. I get very lite print like the toner is running out, but it prints fine from a Linux and Window machines on the same network connected to the same printer.

  Gutenprint says it isn't their problem, and won't help. I just need a working readable printer and I don't want to download and use a windows machine to accomplish this every time.

 Please help.
