[G4] printer problem usb

[Robert H. Baucom]

You don't  need apple talk with USB. I had the same problem a month  
ago but have forgotten how I fixed it (Caducity).
However, it may be like the old Macintosh "Dr. Pepper Cure"; but you  
don't need to use 15 minutes. Try turning your printer off for 60  
seconds or better. Turn back on.
Delete anything in the printing Que. Open your document . Double  
check page set up and printer selection .... and  then select print.
