[hblug] crazy printer

[Rene Bartosh]

Dosn't happen to be an HP Deskjet does it? I had one and it had a
similar problem from time to time.

I recall deleting print jobs with the lpq and lprm commands, then
restarting the printing subsystem with /etc/init.d/cupsys restart,
although your init scipts may be elsewhere if you do not have a
debian-based distro.

Cheers

Rene
