I have my printer fuction set up to use lpr etc....

I run wp5.1 in dosemu for business letters and have wp51 print the
contents to a postscript file called output.ps. I simply switch to another
window and run the command cat output > /dev/lp0

I ran into a problem the other day, instead of running the correct command I
ran cat output /dev/lp0 no redirect. Natually nothing printed, however, now
nothing else will print as well, I get an error message Device or resource
busy. I can't get the resource un-busy.

I've deleted lock file, temp file, spooled files, I've tired lpc to kill the
job, I've ps aux'd looking for a pid to kill, I started and stopped rc.lprng,

I can't get rid of the error message, and nothing else will print.

Naturally a reboot solves the problem but that can't be the solution.

Any ideas
