[QUOTE="RossAnderson, post: 1159325, member: 183754"] I've had a problem with a printer, whose effect on a (nearly new) MacBook Pro has been drastic. Not only do applications like Office hang when they attempt to connect to the printer, but the "print and fax" pane of System Preferences hangs when I click on it; and when I issue "cancel -a" from terminal I get the message "cancel: Unable to contact server!" These are the two remedies that were suggested in earlier posts to this list for stuck print jobs. Does anyone have any idea what I can do short of reinstalling the operating system? The whole point of buying a Mac is not to have to do that sort of thing. It's rather disappointing Ross [/QUOTE]
