I have to second Dan on this, and add that the pitiful amount of RAM
Apple shipped in this printer made it useless for anything more than
plain text on letter-size paper. Your printer is simply too weak to
rasterize these graphics. More RAM might help, but then you'd still have
a slow dog with limited capabilities. Better to spend your money on an
inkjet, or just find a decent printer on the network.
