I have tried replacing the underscores with a hyphens but still no luck.

I tested the printer on the local system.  If I send an ascii text
file to the raw queue it prints the text, but does not deal with
newlines correctly (not surprising, this is a raw queue).  Also, I've
created another print queue in cups that uses the correct hpijs driver
and sends output to the same printer (my only printer) and if I send a
text file to that queue it prints correct.  I can't send anything more
complex at the printer locally, since this computer is set up as a
file and print server it only has a basic Gentoo install plus Samba
and Cups, no X.org or OpenOffice installed.  Like I said before, it's
more likely a Samba issue, but it may be a Windows 98 issue as well. 
One of my next steps is to try updating or re-installing the Windows
print driver.
