Hi Justin,
Try this workaround from

Work-around: Printing now works for us when Advanced
Printing Features are disabled from the print dialog on our
PCL printer. When disabled, metafile spooling is turned

Particularly the 3X expansion for the 4200.
I also doubt (from your description of what you are printing)

shouldn't make any difference to us.

very acceptable 450K
This is because of the 1.5 fix to:
Bug ID: 4480930

CUPS is very very good for jdk1.5.0
