Earlier today I could not use my USB printer. Looking at `ps -elf|grep
usb` it continuously had process state 'D' ("uninterruptible sleep
(usually IO)" according to `man ps`) and the CUPS web interface
continually reported "usb printer busy" (or something very similar). I
couldn't work out how to sort this out so resorted to a reboot and now
it all works fine.My questions are thus: - any ideas what might have happened? or where to look for clues (I couldn't find anything in the /var/log files I checked) - any ideas on how to resolve it without rebooting if it happens again? I've done a Google but to no avail Thanks -- Michael Bane Atmospheric Physics Group University of Manchester -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
