This all depends on the tools that you have on your system.  If you have the
Adobe TranScript package, you can use the psrev program to extract the
particular page.

Your problem points out a general mistake in general.  It appears that the
software that runs a laser printer dumps the page currently printing when
there is a jam.  I thinks this SUCKS THE BIG ONE.  Many a time I get a jam
in my printer and lose a page that I have to spend time getting to print
again.

Is there anyone in the know that knows why this STUPID idea was done in
these printers?  Yes, I consider it stupid.  I wish that the jammed page
would be printed again.

Yes I get very pissed when this happens.  Just ask my kid :-(
