Last week I asked:

The following respondents were unanimous in suggesting that I kill the
wpexec print server and restart it. I forgot to say in my original post
that I had tried this with "wpexc -k" followed by "wpexec -s", but that
had no effect.
Manually killing the wpexec process and starting it from scratch did the
trick, however. It would be nice to know why this happens.
