Well, you could restart the printer. I think that quit might do it.
There is however, an entry in one of the builtin dictionaries
I don't remember which one. Try this:
in interactive mode, using a terminal program, type in
executive <cr>
you should be given a prompt

turn on you ascii capture, and do
/serverdict load {== ==} forall
/statusdict load {== ==} forall
/$printerdict load {== ==} forall
/systemdict load {== ==} forall
Look through the resulting captured text. You are looking for a routine
titled startpage or something similar. You can execute that routine and
get a startup page.
