Hello!
Today, I've been fighting with my Deskjet printer because I had choosen a wrong "driver" and it was printing multiple pages of misc characters. There was no printing job visible in KJobViewer (KDE 3.2.1). I tried to remove all files under /var/spool/cups but it seems it didn't help.
Is there a way to take back the control of the printer in that situation? Would using a USB connection bring any improvement? I think it could be the case because it is a much more modern connection and therefore the protocol might be more adequate (and robust) to today's usage.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
