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.
