Every once in a while my powerbook G4 gets really really really slow. Safari takes about a minute to start up or change web pages. I opened activity monitor for the first time while it was doing it and something called "hp communications" was using 98% of my CPU?!?! wtf. My printer wasn't even plugged in. I've searched the forums and some other people have mentioned having the same problem but is there any way to fix it? Reinstall didn't work.

I think the problem is that your printer isn't plugged in. Does this problem every occur when the printer has been connected since startup?

unfortunately yes, every once in a while I guess the printer software tries to mutiny the rest of the computer. Hostile takeover kind of stuff.

Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

Just a guess: is it an HP all-in-one?
I've installed the drivers once since my parents had one and I wanted to be able to print in color, just in case. But the software was so annoying and anal that I had to deinstall it (it would complain every time I log in that the printer wasn't connected -- not surprising since I have a mobile Mac).

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

I dumped that stuff recently as well. Also made sure to delete the pieces that launched at startup.
