This is probably due to the printer sending out Bonjour broadcasts, maybe avahi on your system is picking them up or maybe the software itself. I really don't know how that works. You could try to stop avahi, or see if the printer has a setting to disable Bonjour/AirPrint. Or I might be waaaay off-track ;) Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?"
