[KLUG Members] Printor problem

[Bill]

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. :-)
