The start of each job actually does seem to get sent to the printer, as
the HL-1650's LCD shows a green (i.e. informational) message such as "18
user SomeSite", i.e. apparently a job number followed by the user name
and job name. Apparently the printer detects and discards the subsequent
data as garbled in most cases before rendering the page (be it PS or
PCL6).

Moreover, connecting an HP Deskjet 930C (i.e. a line rather than page
printer) to the same server also shows only approximately half an inch
printing (after pressing the page feed key blinking in orange), i.e.
with a very different driver the job also gets stopped (even when
printing the test pages, which works fine -i.e. printing the complete
page without any error- on the HL-1650 in PCL6 from the context menu in
System/Administration/Printers, as well as in PS from
http://localhost:631/printers/HL-1650?op=print-test-page).

So I suspect some serious filter problem (as there apparently already
was in 6.06) but I'm at a loss as to which debugging/logging steps to
try&supply - any help appreciated.
