O.K. 

	I'm having problems with atalkd. I can print O.K., but if the printer 
runs out of paper, or anything else (the phase of the moon? 8^) ) disturbs the
process, I get atalkd taking over the system (90+% of cpu) when *no* 
printing is happenin. Clearly (as others have reported) something fishy
is going on. Unfortunately I can't 'not use this feature' because it't the
only sane way I have to print. (Without buying GatorPrint :-)). So any-
way, my question is... Is there a 'right way' to kill/re-start atalkd
without re-booting? Has anyone tried it?

thanks!
