Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
Print out a file, using duplex mode.
What's wrong:
The printer jammed, and lpq reported that the printer was "ready and
printing". It continued to report this for half an hour, by which
time I got suspicious.
What should have happened:
zephyr should have sent an error message, AND lpq should have known
that the printer was NOT at all ready, and certainly not printing.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
