I have an Epson Stylus color 600. It has enough memory to capture several
pages in ram. I think today the print spool said 103 pages (apparently all
but the first were blank) by the time I caught on that I had sent the html
version of a pdf file found on google instead of the pdf file itself to the
printer.

After killing the queue, I still had to power cycle the printer and allow
time for the ram to discharge.
