[G4] What's woth printer?

[John McClernan]

Wilton,
Hector is right, that usually works. And by the way, did you use Disk
Utility to Repair Permissions?

Here is something else that might help you (or others). If you go to
www.versiontracker.com and search for Print Center Repair, you can download
and try that utility. It has solved some problemsfor me. Here is the
description:


Product Description:
Print Center Repair is designed to rectify situations where Print Center
will not open, printers cannot be added, and numerous other errors. Although
Print Center Repair cannot fix every printing problem, it is capable of
resolving most of the common ones. Full instructions are included.

Print Center Repair allows the user to do the following:
Verify the root user
Verify and recreate the daemon user
Verify and repair Print Center file permissions
Verify and repair the /System/Library/Printers directory permissions

Delete CUPS spool files
Verify and repair the /private/tmp directory

Cheers,
