I'm having the same problem ("40 EIO 1 Bad Transmission" - "Press Go to Continue") - using JetDirect like above. It prints fine and resets the error after the print job. My /var/log/cups/error_log is empty, but syslog is logging a string of these:

Aug 23 18:43:37 psyserveftp HP_LaserJet_4050_Series?ip=192.168.1.99: prnt/backend/hp.c 496: unable to connect hpssd socket 2207: Connection refused
Aug 23 18:45:00 psyserveftp last message repeated 2 times

After turning on debugging my error_log is showing (Not sure if relevent):
 Discarding unused printer-state-changed event.
 Discarding unused job-progress event.

The whole debugging error_log is attached along with my dmesg is needed.
