Well, I tested it.  what happened was a single black line at the bottom
of the page, the printer set and blinked for a while, then internaly
reset it's self and kicked out a start-up sheet.  Your little bit
of code, is wild to say the least.  My guess is that somehow you caused
the printer to exceed some internal limit, or some such.
