  1. Does anyone know how to force quit the Add printer application? It doesn’t show up in the force quit dialog. It doesn’t have a dock icon. it can’t be cmd-tab’d to either. each time I try to click in it, I get the spinning beach ball. The rest of the machine is ok. I don’t really want to reboot my machine just for this one app.
