Here it comes with a printcap entry like:
------------------ printcap ---------------------------

:ifhp=model=hp4,status@
:if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:sd=/var/spool/lp/lp10
-------------------------------------------------------
And the result:
-------------------------------------------------------

Now I modify the printcap to look like this:
lp10
# :lp=lp10%9100
:lp=
:rm=lp10
:rp=raw
# :ifhp=model=hp4,status@
# :if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:sd=/var/spool/lp/lp10
-------------------------------------------------------
I remove the garbled PCL job
# lprm -Plp10 all
# lpc reread
# lpr -Plp10 /etc/hosts
# lpq -Plp10 -lll
Printer: lp10@pq (dest raw@lp10)

-------------------------------------------------------
The job prints fine. Obviously this is not a paper tray problem but
ifhp problem. I hope this helps.

I think it wants 'letter' paper in the tray, and you do not
have it, or it thinks that it does not have it. This is a
problem when the PostScript/PCL code forces paper/tray selection.
Could you give me a bit more status?
lpq -lll should tell you a bit more.
