[G4] printer problem usb

[johnnyg]

Hi,

I have a mirror dual800 running 10.3.9.  My hp2200laserjet printer which 
is connected via USB just quit printing in classic mode.  It seems to 
still be fine printing on 10.3.9.  When I try to print from any classic 
application, I get a message telling me appletalk is not active in one 
form or another.  I didn't think I needed appletalk with USB.  But I 
tried to choose turn on appletalk in the network settings and it looks 
like its chosen but still I get the message "appletalk cannot be turned 
on".  It was working well for over a month until this morning...and I am 
out of gas in my google searches and using this tired old hunk of gray 
matter.  Extensions show the hp USB checked and I also checked the USB 
Printer extension although I'm pretty sure this was tirned off because 
its for printer sharing....

I started up on many different partitions and get the same results...and 
I've thrown away printing prefs from classic.  

Couple of questions...Do I need appletalk with USB connections to the 
printer?  Any reason appletalk cannot be activated....at one point there 
was a popup saying the modem was using appletalk but I know I haven't 
changed anything in months as far as settings go, and I haven't installed 
anything new recently.

thanks.

John
