I have daily problems with having to reset a HP LaserJet 5N Printer before
it will print successfully.  Once I reset the printer it works fine for the
rest of that day   Then the next day, I have the same problem.

This is really more of an annoyance right now, but will become a problem
once we start using multiple printers in multiple locations via this
mechanism

Why is this occurring?  If you can help shed some light on this, I d love
the understand what s happening and how to correct it!!!

Thanks!

Problem Indicated on Console:

13:59/212/Output spooler, LDEV #204:  The PJL information returned from
the printer contains a syntax error.  The first 52 (max) bytes are shown:
@PJL USTATUS JOB

Native Mode Spooler message 9621

13:59/212/Output spooler, LDEV #204:  The PJL information returned from
the printer contains a syntax error.  The first 52 (max) bytes are shown:
@PJL USTATUS PAGE

Native Mode Spooler message 9621

The HEADER Page will Print, then give the following message:

13:59/212/Output spooler, LDEV #204:  The PJL information returned from
the printer contains a syntax error.  The first 52 (max) bytes are shown:

%14:01/212/Output spooler, LDEV #204:  The IPCRECV intrinsic reported

The Problem, seems to reset itself in the SPOOLER and Starts all over Again


To Correct the Problem, I do the following:
