You should look at the firmware-version. It is a well know problem
of older firmware revisions! Especially the old F1010 has this
problem, the F1010 has never got a new release without this problem.
I don't know the release status of the F2010. 
Our F1200's have the release 5.9-16. This release has the problem fixed!

Also it is very important to set the H5 parameter correctly, we set
it to "3" for XON/XOFF only.

We use it in HP Laserjet Mode, i have modified Beebe's DVI-Jet, so that it
downloads the fonts prior to the page, and also to reverse the ordering
of the pages, due to the face-down stacker.
But with 5.9-16 it should work with the original Beebe driver. I use
the modified version because of an old F1010 we have to support.
