Thanks Andre, I tried the turboprint driver, but the problem is the same. Before every page, I get a page (for every page in the print job!) with 4 ascii lines:
BJLSTART ControlMode=Common AckTime=Short BJLEND Greping the disk shows some binary files like libgimpprint.so have these lines in them, hence the search for a different driver. However, it appears to be a general cups problem, perhaps a "setting", but I have no idea where it is!
