Printing to an EPSON 740 had gone haywire. Nothing worked until I used this program to reset the printing system.

Yes, this program really does rock! I've had 2 problems printing to my Epson C86, and PSR fixed both of them!

1) Printing slowed to a crawl for no apparent reason.
2) Printing jobs were always "Stopped" for no apparent reason.

Mashing a few buttons in the PSR GUI got me going again both times! Thanks Fixamac!
