The job could well be gone from the computer and totally in the print buffer on the printer itself. In such a case nothing you do on the comp will affect the printer (unless you have a locally mounted printer and the software from the manf needed to clear this buffer.)

This does look like a wayward process, as once the printer is removed from the config it should stop , but this does'nt, it just keeps spew ing out of the parport... maybe worth trying the printer on the USB port. I does mean I have to watch whats being printed, cant just send it remotely and trust.. else you end up with as much paper as you loaded all with a quarter line of garbage on the top of each sheet. Whats really strange is that rebooting dos'nt stop it onlt power down..
