OSX Crashes

[BlueRift]

My Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 crashes at least twice a day since last week with no discernable cause. I have made no changes to my computer in any significant way. At first, I thought it was chrome, then a bamboo touch pad but now I am stumped. The computer was brand new in 2010 and has had no trouble with crashes up until last week. When the computer crashes, it simply freezes and is unresponsive to anything but manually powering off and then restarting.

I have the console output from the three distinct crashes I can identify. If you have any suggestions, they would be welcome. Also, if you need more info, just ask and I'll add it here. Thank you.

Output is as follows: the first set is what I thought was google chrome causing crashes so I changed the default user profile and made sure it was up to date, which it was. I have not identified the second set of problems on 1/22. Since doing my first two fixes, the crashes are less frequent but the last set of console output on 1/26 is what has happened a number of times the last few days. It looks like it has output from the HP printer drivers I have and something to do with the Adobe Suite CS4.

I'd start by deleting your Printer in Print and Fax and then give it a restart, then Install it again.

The others look like they are crashing while trying to go onto the net, you don't have Little Snitch or any other net filtering going on? They could be causing the problem.

I don't have any filtering on this computer. I will uninstall the printer and see if that helps.
