Hi Micha,
I usually use the command 'ps -A f|less' to find out who/what start a
process. This lists a 'tree' of the processes and it shows which process
is a subprocess. Find out which process initiated the printing. Although
from this info, its seems gs is sending data to a samba shared printer
at //meravi .
Cheers,
Kev
