jhetley(Minor because it has gone away)
The iMac had another one of its little episodes this morning, refusing to speak to the inkjet printer. Would print to the laser, but attempts to send an email to the inkjet would just spin for a while and then "stop" without my lifting a finger. Worked fine yesterday, and nothing has changed or updated or even been turned off since.
Switched off the computer, unplugged the printer (maintains some memory even if turned off), "repaired permissions", and now that same email file prints okay.
Goddamn cosmic rays strike again.
