Dear VURD:

Every morning at about 7:50 a.m., my printer produces a map to 1127 Belmont.

WHY???

Thanks,

Apparently some part of the system doesn't think that document was ever successfully printed. Therefore it's still in the queue, and periodically gets retried. That would also explain why it won't print anything else; new jobs just get in line behind the stuck one.

You can look at the Windows print queue by going to "Printers and Faxes" on the Start Menu, and double-clicking this printer. If the document is listed there, delete it from the list.

I presume you've tried power cycling the printer and computer? If not, try that next.

All good, except that I'm running Ubuntu with KDE, and I've pulled up the CUPS print queue, and it doesn't appear anywhere. I did cycle the printer this morning, but have been resisting the reboot of the PC.

Just FYI, cycling the power to the printer and the computer will kill the ghost print job.
All done :)
