Hi,

Thanks!

I've noticed recently that after a successful purging of a 5-6 Mb file
(ppop purge all) the name of the machine that sent the print job remains on
the printer's LCD display.  To this date I've never seen it clearing out by
itself.  Is there another command that can be sent tot he printer that
would clear the display thus bringing it back to "ready" ?  The printer is
a HP LJ5 SiMX.
