You don't say whether you are using CUPS, but I assume you are. In case you don't get a more expert answer, the easy way out is to delete the printer and reinstall it. Starting with a fresh printer ensures you have an empty queue. You may also need to power down the printer in case it buffers data. Alternatively you can look for the spool file in /var/spool/cups. It will probably be called c00001. Deleting this may help -- but my experience is that it doesn't always get rid of the print job in progress. Your test page is probably not the job called Star office Job #1 -- it should not have come from StarOffice. So you probably have another job waiting to print. As to what caused the problem, I have had similar experiences when not all the cups packages were installed, so make sure you have all the required packages installed, including cupsys-bsd (that was the one that cause me difficulty). Also make sure when you re-install the printer that you get the right driver. HTH -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
