What are your thoughts on re-formatting the drive (a nasty job) in order to
tackle this kind of problem? Is that sort of like hunting flies with an

More like hunting flies with a chainsaw, it's a lot of work, you could hurt yourself, and it's unlikely to be effective.
An application level error like this won't have anything to do with the formatting of the disk, especially if it's been deleted and re-installed; it'll be in a physically different part of the disk then.
Try turning the printer off before closing. Did you try connecting the printer to the other port? A different cable?
I'm wagering that something driver related is not letting go of something, and PowerRip is just patiently waiting for that so it can shut down cleanly.
More detailed info than that is going to take running a debugger on the system while this happens so you can snoop on the processes going on, and that's WAY over my head in OS 9.
