anyone have any insight to these "errors" ?

The one that talks about a printer is confusing, ive never hooked my mac to a printer or never tried to print anything..
 
After I got your e-mail, I checked mine and have the exact same "errors" on mine. :confused:

dude at the apple store fixed it when i got my battery. he said the mac was trying to connect to a wireless printer somewhere that i was!? he showed me how to fix it... call me later.
