[comp.protocols.appletalk] LaserWriter getting hung after clearing a paper jam.

bwk@mbunix.mitre.org (Barry W. Kort) (10/27/89)

We have noticed a problem with our LaserWrites when using manual
feed.  If there is a paper jam (not uncommon when manually feeding
transparency stock or stiff letterhead stock), the Mac and the 
LaserWriter never recover after the paper jam is cleared.  The
printer just sits there, and the Mac just waits. Canceling the print
job doesn't help.  I find we have to power down the printer to recover
after clearing the jam.

Is anyone else familiar with this problem, and its solution?
