Houdini freezes and stop responding because it's waiting for the Print Node (in a VopSop) to finish its output to the console.
Do you know how to stop the Print Node to flood the console?
Pressing the CLOSE button on the console doesn't work.
I know I should feed print with less points, so that the printing process ends earlier, but that's not really practical in many scenarios..
Print goes wild. Houdini not responding. How to stop the flood in the console?

I don't do much VOP work so haven't used the Print Node.
But I do use the printf function often in wrangles and yes if I am not carefull, it can slow to a crawl if there is much data 'points'.
Maybe you could post your hip file and give more details of what you want to print out and why;
Someone might be able to suggest an alternative, like filter out the data beforehand, convert data to a ‘test’ attribute for viewing in spreadsheet, or whatever etc.

hello thanks for replying,
I'm not doing anything specific with the print node.
I usually use it just for quick debugging to see what results I get at different stages of my VOP network.
As you suggest, it would be useful to filter out the data beforehand, like allowing the Print Node to operate only on a reduced sample pool of points (like 100).

I tried the the combo Esc\del but it doesn't seem to work on Hou 17.
This unkillable console is very frustrating
Please check this setup. I'm trying to print to console ONLY if the @ptnum equals to 2, but it still prints out every ptnum.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
