Lots of people have suggested control-d and various other reset type things. Another possibility is that the interpreter is hung trying to execute something in the random text you sent. You might try a control-c, followed by a control-d. The other thing to try, if you can get access to the device or otherwise read what the printer is sending back, is to send a control-t and see what (if any) status message it sends to you.
