I've seem similar strange behavior when printing documents with a mix
of photos, graphic charts and all sorts of fonts. It always has to
do with some image in the document or a mathematical equation created
with equation editor in MS Office..
A few times I had to do this on Mac OS X:
In the problem page start cutting all images (paste them elsewhere to save) to
see which one is the culprit.
Once I found the problem image I cut it, then from a menu option (I
don't recall)
I selected "paste special" and chose the image type as jpeg. That solve
my problem. I've done it more than once.
I bet your printer is fine. Try printing some other document type:
text, web page.

hope this helps.
