If it's printing everything off the side of the page, it'll be just
as useless to the appletalk folks in its current state, as after you
reset it.
If I were there, I'd just cold-reset it, and let someone with a mac deal
with the appletalk when they look for it next. Appletalk isn't fully
supported, nor is it a recommended way to print. It seems foolish to
cripple our debugging efforts on its behalf.
I snmpwalk'd the printer, and looked through the settings it knows about;
I don't see anything that would do this, which doesn't leave much else
we can try to debug this.
