Scan the pages and run them over an OCR.

In what program did you wrote those essays? You could recover something if it had the autosave or autorecovery active.

It could be a chance to recover the texts if you'll be able to recover the printer files. These are usually in the C:\windows\system32\spool\printers folder. For recovery you could use http://www.finalrecovery.com/
After you recovered these files, you could run them through a PCL2TXT program to extract the text (something like this one: http://www.swiftview.com/sview_analysis.htm).
