So what remains is specific to your system or to the printer in question. Perhaps therein lies a general problem to which we can in the future find a general solution, but first we need to find a solution that solves only your specific problem. We need to move from specific to general. > >What ``reset of the printer''? what does that have to do with this > >thread?

It is a job of the software that interfaces with the printer more intimately to do this, not of applications such as Emacs. I have a Postscript printer connected to one of my machines, and I never had to reset it between a job that printed Postscript (e.g., with ps-print) and a PCL6 job from another application.
