That's is - my settings point there too!
Okay, the real strange thing is that it's empty, but there's still a stalled
job in my queue - the date is 12/31/1969...
I just can't get rid of it - it says that the status is "printing" and the
size is 380KB, but it just sits there. At this point, I can't print
anything else because of this clogging up the queue. Any ideas as to how I
could fix this?
Many thanks!
