The following reply was made to PR kern/15532; it has been noted by GNATS.

Yes, that happens to me every time I get those problems. Also try booting the machine while the printer prints. The same result. If you reboot your Windows box while the printer prints, the print-job is completed at exactly this page where it stopped next boot. > only fix seemed to be a reboot. :/ (Or is there some way for a > device on the parallel port to indicate a reset/poweroff that this > printer just doesn't use?) I usually use a combination of lpc down all lpc disable all killall lpd switch of the printer restart lpd switch on the printer lpc up all lpc enable all Soemthink _like_ this usually fixes it.
