No matter what I try the printer keeps trying to p[rint a file that is not there... In the KDE desktop I open the print manger and there is nothing there. I go to a shell and type: lpc status - and rec message "no entries" but still it is trying to print something. I type: lprm - and it asks for my password --- again and again or go to su and type" lprm - and I get no response, just back to the prompt. as su I type: lprm winstephen - I get "job or printer not found" and still the printer is cranking away... I turn off the printer and it starts again. I reboot the computer and it starts again... !@#$%^&*() any suggestions of what I do next?
