Derek, I've encoutered a similar problem using hpijs.. Not sure if this is the case with Epson.. Try "ps -Af" and look for printer processes. With hpijs, there are 4 or so processes started up for each queue, and when you abort, a couple still keep on running.. IIRC, mine has a process called "parallell" or some such.. Anyway, if memory serves correctly, the UID _may_ be lp.. If you can identify any printing processes running, kill them off and that should end the printing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
