I don't know about why it won't print but I had the same problem with the
single diamond after it finished printing (HP 600C). I used COAS to
configure my printer and it worked just fine (except for the single diamond)

This is what solved the single diamond problem:

    "Look into your /etc/printcap to find out which input filter is called
(:if: field). This will almost certainly beb a shell script. Then look into
that, search for something like
    printf '\004'
after the call to 'gs' and turn it off"
Turn off printf by comment out (# printf '\004') or deleting \004 from
printf ''

The above was contributed by Martin Lottermoser and worked on COL2.3, I hope
it works for you too.
