What operating system?  Just DOS, XP, or Vista, and/or does the
problem follow the printer from machine to machine?

HP's troubleshooting page seems to offer no help.

The operating system may close the current printer session, sending
the "printer reset" command, if it assumes the current printer job is
"stagnant" for a period of time.

Here is the installation manual:

There is no indication that this "job pause reset" is in any way
associated with the printer hardware / firmware.  This leaves driver
and OpSys as the likely culprits.
