I thought I resolved my printer problem last night except for the quality.
When I went to the web cups admin and changed the resolution, the problems
only became worse. When I tried a test page it just would pour out paper
after paper with some print gibberish occasionally. I tried to cancel the
jobs from both the command line and from the web and neither have worked. The
jobs will not cancel. I have deleted all of my printers from the web and it
still does this kind of eternal printing. How do I cancel the jobs now? Also,
I want to get my printer working correctly. I have tried everything that I
can think of so far including all of your suggestions. Any help will be
greatly appreciated. Thank you. Marcia
