Welcome to the weird world of printing under linux and java.

Here are some suggestions that people have found to work or not:

1. Make sure your printer name in CUPS does not contain a hyphen.
2. You might try a different version of java. I recently had this
problem and I found that different version of java do different things.
In your moneydance folder there should be a symlink called jre which
points moneydance to your version of java. So that means you can have
different versions of java installed and tell md which one to use. I
have found that I can print OK under java version 1.4.2, but I couldn't
with 1.5
3. Check your md printing settings. Under Printer Preferences there are
option for using Java 1 or Java 2 methods. Try changing which one is
selected.
4. Make sure your printer is correctly aligned with the earth's
magnetic field and that you place freshly picked roses in front of your
monitor. OK I'm just kidding about that one. But it seems quite
arbitrary and dependent on some secret magical formula. 

Let us know what you find out about the magical secrets of your system!
