From here:
http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Panasonic-DP-2330
(I find that the printer uses HP's PCL 5-6 page description language.)

Install from here:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/pxlmono
(need all three parts)

Or try HP Laserjet 5 Gutenprint.
Postscript is optional on that model - if you have that option, try a generic postscript driver.

I used the three part download that you suggested. I am really not sure on the rest. I believe all the computers in the office share the printers. They must be connected through a sever because it doesn't have any wires running to the computers but I am not sure. The main office computer is a pc and the rest are macs. I think I used a postscript when I connected to the printer. If you need more info I can check the computer when I get to work on Monday. Just let me know what you need me to look for. This is all new to me.

OK, let's guess the printer is connected via built-in ethernet print server.
How did you Add the printer in Print & Fax, to get the gibberish?
Can you find out the IP address of the printer?
