When I'm troubleshooting a problem like this, I usually try the following:

nc -v [jet-direct-IP-addr] 9100 < somefile.ps

Just feed it a known good postscript file and see if it prints. If this prints 
a blank piece of paper, then the problem is in the printer.

Have you tried configuring it as a "generic postscript" printer? If this works 
then the driver is the problem. I haven't followed this thread closely so I 
don't know which drivers you have tried.

Sorry I can't offer any better advice.
