is my i250 printer going crazy ?
 

Hello

I installed Mandriva Linux 2005 on my computer, and I got my modem detected without a flaw (Sagem Fast 800) (else I wouldn't be able to send this post), and my printer (Canon i250) thanks to some drivers found on the official site in New Zealand, and a little help because of dependancies error related to libpng.so.2 during the installation. So, I am a happy camper - at the moment.

I tried to print under Opera web browser : no problem, except the fact that I had never been prompted for cancelling printing while the printer had no more paper, and that's probably the reason why I have problems now.

Indeed, now I cannot print, and sometimes, I get random and numerous printings started while restarting my system or turning my printer on.

The printings which are launched are exactly the ones I didn't get before...

Is there a way to cancel all of these expected printings, so that I can use my printer again ?

And last, what can I do when I don't need to print further and as my printer is temporarily running out of paper ?

Thanks for your help

Best regards
