Interesting...  I am also using an HP2100M.

What happens when I attempt to print from either evince or evolution is
a dialog box pops up *immediately* and says "too many errors".  The
printer error light does not illuminate. Printing from another app, e.g.
gedit, then works without having to reset the printer.

FWIW,  printing from a currently updated version of FC7 works fine for
both evolution and evince.
