Here is a way to completely reset your printer without power cycling.  We
run this periodically to ensure that the printer's VM is not accumulating

%!
%  Executes the systemdict/quit operator (as opposed to the userdict/quit
%  operator, which is synonymous with stop or EOF) to reinitialize PostScript
%       (suggested by Guy Riddle in comp.lang.postscript, 8/4/88)       - hess
