Thanks for the advice. I took what you said, then added more instructions from another user (Sharrea) and now, I'll see what happens the next time I reboot. BTW, here is Sharreas' instructions: 1. In a browser go to: http://127.0.0.1:631/ 2. Click on "Administration" and enter root + root password 3. Click "Manage Jobs" 4. Click "Cancel Job" on the same line as the print job. Close browser. (I'm adding this - don't forget to note whatever job # was stuck so you can use below) 5. In a console: su to root 6. # cd /var/spool/cups # ls -a # rm -f <job number> 7. Turn the printer off, wait a while then turn it back on. Thanks a lot to the 2 of you!!!! :-) -- /\ Dark< >Lord \/
