For the Ricoh and Samsung printers, we printed the raw PDF directly over JetDirect (port 9100). For the Brother, the "upload PDF" function was used. So no outside printer drivers involved.
If I run it through Ghostscript, that somehow fixes it: gs -dPDF -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=print.pdf foo.pdf normally gs complains when there is an issue
