As far as I recall, the standard sequence for forcing a PostScript printer to reset itself is something like this: 0 % or whatever your printer password is serverdict begin exitserver systemdict /quit get exec I think some earlier printers (LaserWriter Plus?) didn't need you to get into "exitserver" mode; the last line was enough on its own. However, just the other day I found a LaserWriter IINT that would *not* reset with the above sequence. As soon as the "quit" had executed, it put up the message %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% which is what you get if you execute the default "quit" operator from userdict. Can anybody tell me what could have gone wrong?
