This isn't a bug, it's a feature. And it's documented in the HP Technical &
programming manuals. I'd recommend doing (basically) what HP recommends that
properly written programs should do... Include the printer default string
in your lotus printer setup string. This will reset the printer into the
state which lotus (and other poorly written LaserJet drivers {according to
HP}) assumes the printer is already in.
