I have the same setup here and palatino documents print fine. I do both: send the raw pdf to a cups server (let it deal with it) and convert the pdf to pcl prior to sending it to the printer. > If I print an older document or if > I compile the same document with MKII, the document prints out fine on > the same printer.

You might want to try outline the fonts and strip them from the document: gs -sDEVICE=pswrite -dNOCACHE -sOutputFile=nofont-Myfile.ps -q -dbatch -dNOPAUSE Myfile.pdf -c quit Optionally convert back to pdf with ps2pdf and try print that file. If ghostscript complains right away the problem is not your printer. > I'm using one network PostScript printer and one network printer that > is most probably using PCL drivers and both generate junk.

PostScript printers should handle nofont-Myfile.ps (see above).
