printing glitches on my archlinux server

Hello archers,

i've been having some problems with my archlinux server. Connected to the server is a HP Laserjet CM1312 printer via USB, server is shared via CUPS and Samba.
I've followed the Archwiki guide for CUPS and Samba for installing the printer.
The specific problem i'm having is printing from a Windows machine. After printing has begun, printing is first fine, but then it'll sometimes start to print gibberish like this (with PCL5): http://ompldr.org/vNzd2aw
I've yet to experience problems printing from my linux machine. I've tried shifting in between drivers on the Windows machine (PCL5, PCL6, Postscript)
Switching to a Postscript driver on the Windows machine prints fine, but after a while produces errors like this: http://ompldr.org/vNzd2dw
CUPS error log contains:
