PrintJobMgr uses 96% CPU after 10.2.6 update!
I have been using Mac OS X since it left beta. After the 10.2.6 update, my next print job ran into trouble: I ran out of paper, but when clicking "Show Printer" in the error dialog, the whole system went to a blue screen. Then the user interface reappeared, much more quickly than a restart, and my CPU meter was pegged. A look at the Process Viewer showed that PrintJobMgr (process ID 625) was using nearly 96% of the CPU!
Each print job pegs the processor meter like this now, the entire time it is running. BTW, I am using an Epson 1270, and running a PowerLogix G4 550 ZIF overclocked to 600 in a B&W. Using other apps while printing is now considerably slowed down. This never happened before. Any ideas, anyone???

You've repaired permissions for starters, right?
Yes, I repaired permissions, started up in single user mode & ran fsck -y, booted from Disk Warrior 3 and repaired the directory. DW 3 repaired damage to "Wrapper Volume" but this had no effect on my printing issue. Maybe I should run Print Center Repair, or trash Print Center's prefs?

I actually was thinking the same thing, but I haven't heard of this happening with Epsons before.
