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. Regards, Alain
