I've got a problem with the canon backend (which I don't use) hanging in CUPs. My load average is currently 13+, and there's nothing I can kill to bring down the processes.
$ ps aux | grep ' [D] '

Any suggestions for fixing this or (since I don't have a canon printer)
keeping the backend from running in the first place?
Peace.
