I am not familiar with this model of printer but some lower cost units can
get very confused with buffering multiple jobs that are being sent
simultaneously accross multiple media. Having parallel/ethernet/phone-net
all connected at once sounds like an invitation to problems IMHO. Try using
any ONE of these connection methods and allowing separate software to keep
the jobs in order.
