Does anyone know of a way to completely reset a postscript printer?  We have 
a small problem here with a postscript printer sometimes getting sent garbage
and it gets totally stuck.  If there's some command you can send it which tells
it to totally reset I could fix our queuing system so it sends that between
every job.

I don't read this newsgroup very often so please send responses to my Email
address.  I'll summarize if anyone's interested.
