So it seems that the print job does go to the printer but nothing
happens (other than a short blinking led). Nothing appears in the error
log I printed out. When I set to the OKI C5900(PS) it at least comes up
with an error complaining about paper sizes and I can press OK and it
will print. So while images of "Michael Bolton" from Office Space
beating up the printer with a baseball bat and yelling:"PC Load Letter
what the $...@# does that mean" is running through my head I rather calmly
adjusted the page setting on firefox, thunderbird and Open Office. Now
it all prints. It also prints fine on the original printer driver. So it
seems the only bug is with the driver somehow not talking to the printer
and noting a page setup error.

Strange part is I have never really needed to set page settings in any
of these apps before on previous Ubuntu's
