Following on from David's advice, it seems quite likely that you are
generating PS errors of one description or another, one way to get some
more feedback on this, aside from sending the files to another printer, is
to send PS files through Acrobat Distiller (as I know you have the
capability), if they don't trip Distiller up, try sending the resulting
PDFs to your printer, if they print okay then PM may be generating some PS
code that your printer does not like, but  Distiller has recoded into a
"cleaner" format.

I often use this method to "trap" problem files, or view seps before output
to high res if my laser is having problems/taking forever.
