I'm having the same problem with three networked P3015 printers on a Windows 2003 server. They stopped printing PDF files last week. The universal PS driver from HP works, but it's a pretty ugly solution. I'd like to know why the PCL driver just stopped working.
Btw, we're printing from Acrobat 9.4.2. Word, Excel, and other office printing is fine still.

    Here's a link to the driver - I actually installed the "HP LaserJet P301x Series PostScript Basic Print Driver" (i.e. the second one down) but it turned out to be a universal PS driver:

    Looks like the link doesn't show properly once I hit submit. Sorry, you'll need to go to the HP site, Support and Drivers, and search for laserjet P3015.

When printing .pdf's to HP 8500N ..I get a stackdump sse more inf

I find most PDF printing issues are due to the print Driver. Your print driver should be a Post Script driver they offer the best support for PDF files.

The issue your having is most likely due to the print driver. First step would be to replace your driver.

Print the document again.

If it does the same thing, then it could be caused by the actual PDF file your printing.

Print other PDF documents does it do this with all PDF's?

If so your Acrobat Software has an issue. Reinstall Acrobat.

Print PDF's again.

If the problem remains then it becomes a issue most likely caused by your Operating Sys of your computer.

Does not print pdf files

It sounds like it is a printer memory issue. That printer comes with just 64MB of memory and PDF files are complicated for most printers. Try printing a few pages at a time for that PDF file and see if that works. If so than it is a memory issue.

Printing black squares in word.doc

It sounds like this is an HP driver issue. HP drivers have built-in "optimizations" (that unfortunately have bugs) for things like printing photos. Different programs (word, for example) try to take advantage of these optimizations in different ways. When they work, they give superior photo printing (faster, with more accurate color). When they don't, you get black squares. This is why "converting" it to PDF worked for you -- Word printed it through the PDF driver instead of the HP printer driver, then when you printed the PDF file, that program avoided those optimizations when it sent the images to the printer. Unfortunately, the translation caused quality loss. If your goal was to print out something like a "proof-sheet" of photos, you might try the free photo organizer at www.preclick.com. It will print these for you, captions and everything, and should be able to avoid the driver issues.
