David,
Just a thought here...have you checked to see if there is a newer or better
driver for your specific printers? You can look at
http://lcewww.et.tudelft.nl/~haver/linux/ to see if there is a driver for your
models. This is where I got the driver for mine. It also has great installation
instructions!
