I can help you tame the printer.  When it starts doing this,
pop the paper tray and when the current sheet feeds through, turn off
the power. Wait two-three minutes and then turn the power back on.
That will clear the printer's memory.
I *think* something gets scrambled in CUPS and it is not properly
processing the postscript stream. But it is telling the printer it is
sending postscript; the result is gibberish. (Or, maybe it is the 
other way round: the computer is sending postscript and telling the
printer it isn't.)
Went through this yesterday while trying to print a pdf document.
The power flickered just as the printer sucked up the first sheet of
paper and started to print.  The computer is protected by a big
battery, but the printer isn't. Oops!  It took me about a half hour
to get the printer to print out a simple, two-page, pdf document.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what, exactly, I did.
