The PostScript command "systemdict begin quit end" will reset the LaserWriter.  This command removes the prep file and any PostScript program that has been entered into the LaserWriter.  A test page will print after the command has been executed if that option is turned on.

NOTE:  You must be in PostScript batch of PostScript interactive mode to send this command.
