Abnormal Activity

Mac OS X Version 10.5.6

I am running normal operations but lately my MacBook has been acting up.

Even if I quit all of my apps 50% of the CPU is being used by the user and my fans are running faster too.

Before, I could run the apps I used daily the fans stay from 1995 to 2005 RPM. Now I still use my daily apps and the fans are running at 2500+ RPM and it gets higher and higher.

I haven't noticed any sluginess but I don't know what is causing it.

Applications that I would use daily are Safari, Adium, and Twitterrific. That's it.

There's obviously nothing there taking up 50% of the CPU. Show "All Processes" and you might see something.

I didn't even notice the "Show" drop down menu! Once I selected the "All Processes" I found out what was causing it.

Turns out I was having the same issue as these guys: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5907048.

Once I connected the printer to my MacBook it automatically printed out a document.
After that my MacBook is back to normal!\

Thanks for pointing that out.
