I just noticed that when attempting to print with ptal-mlcd, instead of 
totally ignoring the print request, the 600's LCD screen shows the message "0 
pages printed". So far, that's the only response I've seen from the printer. 
It appears a few seconds after attempting to print a postscript file from the 
command line. The message doesn't seem to appear again until the daemons are 
restarted.
