Just quickly scanning your email, without getting into the details of  
what projection your data is in natively, or GeoServer settings, etc.,  
I would guess  that you should be looking more closely at GeoServer,  
and not OpenLayers.

To confirm, fetch the image as a JPEG from GeoServer via WMS without  
getting OpenLayers involved. You can either compose a WMS request URL  
directly, or you can use GeoServer's WMS reflector mechanism which  
tries to hide some of those details. See:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/WMS+Reflector+-+Include+maps+on+your+webpages,+the+easy+way

You will find that the geoserver-users mailing list is a great place  
to get help with GeoServer-specific issues.

Cheers,
