We have the same problem on our installation after sending PS-output
from LaTeX (converted with dvips 4.2) to the laser printer. The behavior
Richard described occures exactly for the first page of the next
print job. 

Our laser printer is a "QMS-PS810 turbo".

 *  Is the behavior a result of a bug in the printer software ( does it
    have to be configured differently)?

 *  Is it possible that some adjustments hafe to be made in the  
    "config.ps" file from the dvips?

Any help would be appreciated.

With thanks in advance
