I reproduced the steps described in my previous post, but I tried various things after the machine froze: 1) I swicthed off the printer's power supply: the machine remained frozen, 2) I disconnected the printer cable: the machine remained frozen, 3) I switched on the printer again, and I reconnected the cable: the machine remained frozen. So the machine seems to be locked for good after doing a write() to /dev/lp0.
