AFAICT, it means that HP LaserJets are _very_ bad serial printers (they
refuse to raise the carrier line when they're ready, so you just have to
assume they're ready) which means if you start sending a job before it's
ready (like you've just powered it on or something) then part of the job
goes away and the thing whines at you with an I/O error.

Power it off, delete the print jobs, power it on, print again.
