I'll try running 'swapon' - as soon as I can run the SuSE distro <rant> without my printer spitting out paper - until the paper tray is empty - even after the ***computer is shut OFF*** This is driving me nuts! It has become *the* priority issue.. I've deleted the printer definition using Control Panel. No help. lpq says there's no job - nothing in the que. lprm is ineffective. The problem goes away when I boot into another distro, such as now (Red Hat 7.1) </rant> I'll put this printer thing in another post - it cleary belongs by itself.
