I accidentally sent a huge picture to my printer via a driver I
knew was set up wrong but had not gotten around to fixing yet.
Okay ... my boo boo. I was printing a copy of the internet :-)
and couldn't be bothered just then.
I have cleaned out every print cache I can find (CUPS and the
KDE printer utility) ... the print qeues I can find are empty.
Still ... the results I am getting tell me there must be a live
cache somewhere.
I turned of the printer, disconnected the signal cable,
unplugged the power and let it sit overnight. This, I think,
should purge the internal ram on the printer. Sure enough, I
plugged the power back in this morning, flipped the on-off
switch on the printer and it did its little warm up thing and
then waited ... until I plugged the signal cable back in.
Then it started spitting out endless fresh pages of garbage (and
wasting my ink in the process!)
Okay ... where is that data hiding? I want to purge without
turning the computer off.
My uptime is better than my friends Mac ... and I want to keep
it that way. :-)
