I have no way of stopping the printer from the gui as far as i can see. Is there some
way?
I have rebooted both the printer and linux but it wants to print out the useless file!
(I dont have the right driver for the printer but that is another story.)
I am learning to use the CL and thought I'd see if I could kill the printing process.
But i dont know how to spot it after ps -ax, is it there somewhere?
