One fix for an always-running laptop fan
Authored by: hamarkus on Jun 09, '09 07:43:03AM

The first advice when the fan seems to be to active is to look at the processor load in Activity monitor. Proceed from what you find there...
More specifically, when I have a stuck document (in a print queue), the print queue stays open in the Dock.

One fix for an always-running laptop fan

Checking the activity monitor was the first thing I did, and there wasn't any unusual apps running. Also, the print queue did not stay open on my dock everything appeared normal. The fan ran persistently until I found the unwanted print job in the system preferences.
