lp is simply sending data to the printer when the printer says to be _ready_ (and without pending errors). You may want to try also increasing the delay of lp in setting and releasing the strobe, try:
tunelp /dev/lp0 -w 50
I don't have Xerox hardware so I couldn't notice that. We'll fix the problem as soon as I'll have some more info (knowing if Xerox is using some proprietary protocol would be very helpful).
If you have no info about the protocol I can send you some debugging code to see what's happening on the wire.
I suggest you also to try out also latest Tim's ieee1284 code to see if you can reproduce with it. (ftp://ftp.torque.net/pub/parport/ if I remeber well)
