We've got a Printronix 600 connected to our VAX 11/750 via an LP11 interface.
We're running 4.1BSD.  When there's a power outage, the Printronix feeds paper
and its notion of where "top of form" is gets out of sync with reality.
This happens only when power to both the VAX and the Printronix go out (with
the Printronix on line).

If you know how to avoid the spurious paper feeds, I'd appreciate hearing from
you.
