No sleep when lid open

Hi,

Regardless of energy saver settings, my MacBook won't sleep without closing the lid, or specifically asking the machine to sleep.

I found this in the Console, which is suspicious. But I'm not sure how to kill this process w/o disabling CUPS. Any thoughts?

As you can see, over & over & over. Any ideas on how to stop this? Possibly seems like I need to gut all my printer drivers & reinstall them?

Thanks for any input.

MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Same problem here jp.co.canon.CUPSPS2.BackGrounder console log errors over and over.

Fixed the problem by removing this file: jp.co.canon.CUPSPS2.BG from the /library/launchagents folder
