PROBLEM: 

About every 13 seconds, there is disk activity (with no other
applications/DAs running).  The first lasts about 1/4 of a
second, and another about a second. The longer follows the
first by about 2-3 seconds.

If I de-install SS using the "Print Queue" DA, the disk is
quiet.  Upon re-installation, the annoying disk noise resumes.


COMMENTS:

I have verified that SS's "spool folder" is empty ... neither
SS files nor non-SS files are present.  I am getting the same
behavior on my 2MB Mac II at work as well.  I *swear* neither
of my systems did this until recently

I called SuperMac technical support.  We talked awhile ... the
individual suggested re-installing the software and re-creating
the "spool folder".  I did so, but the periodic disk activity
still continues ...

Certainly, SS needs to check the "spool folder" every once-in-
a-while (tech support said "every 30 seconds is normal"), but
this is excessive!


REQUEST:

Any ideas?  Maybe this is "normal" ... maybe I'm overlooking
something obvious.  Any help much appreciated!
