[G4] weird printer problem

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

I've had this problem before and about the only solution that I've  
found is to open "System Preferences" then select "Print & Fax"

Once that you have the "Print & Fax" select your printer and then  
touch the "-" (minus button) and delete the printer.

Next restart the platform and go back to the "Print & Fax" menu and  
then touch the "+" (plus button) then add your printer.

ABAIR that's how I fixed my loss of print.

Best regards,

Harry -
