Unless you're actually scanning something, that CPU percentage sounds awfully high. Try quitting that process and see if that helps. You can try to quit it by selecting it in the list and choosing the menu item Processes -> Quit Process I think this will only work, if you own the process. If you don't own the process, get the process ID number, open a terminal, and type sudo kill -9 process_number If that cures your problem, you'll probably have to make sure it doesn't start up the next time you bong your machine. The surest way is to remove the software. See if HP has an uninstall option with their scanner software. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be March 25.
