Hi. I figure this is somewhat off topic, but there are people on the list with
this particular printer (BJC-250) or similar.
Anyhow, I've recently noticed something strange. I can't seem to clear the
printer or reset it. I ended up printing something to the wrong print
queue, which gave only garbage, but even after removing it and turning the
printer on and off a few times, I just had to wait until it finished printing
the existing buffer contents, which unfortunately wasted a bit of
paper.
Now, it's printing OK, but everything is coming out in some awful pink color
instead of black. And this is likely because something in the buffer
previously set the color to pink, and now I can't get it to go back.
