I used to see problems like this with my local (lp0) laser printer if
I turned the printer off in the middle of a job (to clear the
printer), but the only fix I've found or heard of was to reboot the
machine.  Nothing else I tried would resync the printer to the
computer, and this was a local parallel port.

IIRC, it not only required a reboot, but it hard to be a hard reset
(the switch) and not just a system restart because the hardware got
out of sync and there's no way to initiate a hard reset to the printer
from the software.

Has this changed, by any chance?
