OK, I've done my research and found in /var/spool/lpd/Sam_670/lpq.0/Sam_670.acct the following (Sam_670 is the name of the printer)

This file is on my Linux Server so it is sending something to Sam_670 when it sees if for the first time. It wouldn't be so bad if it printed off something recognizable but it prints off pages and pages (normally it runs out of paper before it's done). All the printout is garbage. Any suggestions?
