Default HP 4M problem, redux

A few months back I complained that my HP 4M had become a tar baby, just
sitting there, refusing to print any file sent to it. "Nothing was wrong", but
it wouldn't print. In desperation, I pulled the firmware memory card and
reseated it.

Bingo. It worked.

This just happened again. Again, "nothing was wrong" (that is, the diagnostics
showed no problems, and yanking the cable produced an instantaneous
"connection loss" message). And again, when I pulled and reseated the firmware
memory card -- that fixed it.

Curioser and curioser... Perhaps the contacts need a bit of ProGold?
