i thought it was because it happened while we were trying to print paychecks but now it seems to be happening on most print jobs from a variety of programs. i actually walked over to one of the printers that haven't been in use since i switched it off and on and the error occurred without a print job sent to it. i will look into that firmware update

Sounds like you've got corrupt data in your PCL6 data stream to the printer.  It might help with troubleshooting if you unistalled the PCL6 drivers for one and replaced them with PCL5 which doesn't carry out as vigrouous an error check & see if that starts behaving normally (although you might start seeing print errors rather than software alerts).
 
Any recent updates to the software you are using to generate the print job or changes in printer drivers?
