Both ceres and ajax crashed tonight, apparently on a 6.170 problem
set:

One printer was displaying READY, the other TOWNER LOW 2, and both
had the paper feed motors continuosly turning, and did not respond
to front-panel buttons (in retrospect I should've pulled a paper-tray).

I power cycled both printers and asked the user to remove his job
from the queue (the first page printed), and he did so.
