Hi Justin, Try this workaround from http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4924298 :
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 off" and some printing options may be unavailable.

I am getting extremely large spool files and it is causing serious performance problems. Using a Windows 2000 server, printers are HP LaserJet 4100 and 4200 using PCL 6 drivers. Spool sizes on the 4100 are ~4MB and on the 4200 they are in excess of 12MB. The pages contain mostly text, a small (3k) gif on one page, and some various rectangles drawn on 3 of the 5 pages. Fonts are all Arial with sizes from 7-12. It is a black and white document containing no alpha that I know of. I've tried writing the job to an offscreen image as specified here: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/forDevelopers/java2dfaq.html#spoo l but the quality was very bad and the spool size was larger. Any ideas?
