Doesn't help; nor does newer firmware.  As far as I can tell, an HP
printer's firmware has a 60% chance of crashing (requiring a powercycle
to recover; attempting a remote reboot just wedges it tighter) if you
attempt to cancel a job.

At this point I'd settle for a way to disable the "cancel job"
button....
