For me it was a stuck job on a Cannon MP500 soaking 99% CPU. Agree with the commment that silence is golden, took less than 10 secs for the fan to stop.

YEY!! my computer is 2 years old so i was considering an upgrade, well if this works i think i'll get an external hard drive instead and ride this puppy till the wheels come off! same for me… cannon i960 and iantivirus were killing my CPU. first i got rid of iantivirus and the fan noise was still there, then i went after the printer, i couldn’t kill the printer in the activity monitor, i had to kill everything in the print queue .. the fan went off! now lets see how long the battery lasts!

That helped a lot. I was at 45% CPU usage with a one page print! Using Epson 3800 on MacPro with 2 x 3 GHZ Dual Core Intel. After deleting print job, now it's using 3%. Crazy and weird the way that works. Cool. That helped a lot. I was at 45% CPU usage with a one page print! Using Epson 3800 on MacPro with 2 x 3 GHZ Dual Core Intel.

I solved the problem in a matter of seconds thanks to you! It's refreshing to know that even when Apple don't know the problem, there are still dedicated users who figure it out and spread the knowledge. Much respect to you :-) Thank you so much!!!

I have a Canon i960. It sure seems like the idiot who wrote a printer driver that does millions of operations per second while _waiting_ needs to fix their code. This is a bug, but I don't know whether Canon or Apple needs to fix their code, or both. Obviously a print queue should either wait for an interrupt or poll every few seconds to see if the printer is available--not crank on the CPU endlessly. Worked for me, too. I have a Canon i960.
