Strange messages in kernel log for printing

[Anthony Gardner]

This is my sister's computer hence the 'sexysue' ;)

After recently upgrading to Jaunty I've noticed strange behaviour esp with
in /var/log.

Switching on the printer (HP Officejet 6310) gives me this in
/var/log/kern.log

.... and then trying to print something from FF gives me ....

line: *1414* of kernel.log ..... Jun *15 09:36:05* sexysue kernel: [

[snippet]
line *45003* of kernel.log .... Jun *15 09:36:31* sexysue kernel: [
2286.337969] usb 1-5: usbfs: process 27877 (hp) did not claim interface 1
before use

giving me nearly 44,000 lines printed to the log file in 30 seconds before I
cancelled the print.

The thing is, the printer starts to print, it prints the headers from the
email (that's what I tried to print) but then just stops wihout printing the
body of the mail; and then the log file gets hit.

Any ideas from anyone? Google throws up nothing.

Printing from OO is fine and have just succesfully printed the orignal email
without the errors. This is very strange and I'm scared she'll run out of
partition space if this happens when I'm not here .... which will likely be
the case.
