Probably your printer has not enough memory to be used as an allround PostScript printer (like the HP LaserJet 1200/1300). The windows drivers most probably send PCL 5e data to the printer, like Gutenprint, HPLIP/HPIJS/hpcups, ... do. So I recommend you to set up this printer in PCL mode, best with an hpcups driver.

Moving to system-config-printer, fddor adding a new quirk rule to select a PCL driver for this printer.
