printer prints on shutdown/boot
I haven't been able to get my printer working with the last couple
kernels but both of them were custom compiled so I assumed it was
something I didn't include in the kernel.
Today, however, I installed my new CD-RW drive and happened to leave the
printer on when I shut the computer down and rebooted. The printer (an
HP DeskJet 932C) printed what appeared to be random console output from
VC1 on both shutdown and boot. I suspect that if I turn it back on it
will print some more...
I'm using cups for printing and running lpstat -o tells me there're no
jobs. lpstat -a tells me lp1 (my printer) is accepting jobs... to be
honest, this is probably the weirdest thing I've seen since I started
running Linux and it's got me stumped... here's my dmesg, in case it
tells anyone anything (the opl3-sa2 errors are from my sound card and
it's been going on since 2.4.2 or so):
