I can't say I have a solution but this has been bugging me of and on for 
a long time. Sometimes it works well, sometimes I just get a lot of 
paper from the printer with garbage on it.

If you search the archive you'll see the problem has been discussed before.

My solution is to have a VirtualBox Windows installation where I can 
print if really needed.
