Lots of people have suggested control-d and various other reset type
things. Another possibility is that the interpreter is hung trying to
execute something in the random text you sent. You might try a
control-c, followed by a control-d.  The other thing to try, if you can
get access to the device or otherwise read what the printer is sending
back, is to send a control-t and see what (if any) status message it
sends to you.
