Tip for Print Problems after Repair Permissions run on 10.3 updated from
10.2.8 - (update - see below for tip to solve this - delete the 
printer, add
it again and reboot)

" ... Unfortunately RP (Repair Permissions) will cause printing to stop
working on systems that were upgraded from earlier releases, due to a
missing user not being added by the upgrade process. I'm not sure 
whether
this is common knowledge yet, but you might want to temper the advice 
with a
word of caution.

Checking my Powerbook G4/800 (upgraded from 10.2.8 early this morning 
and RP
run on it with several corrections including iTunes and printing/cups) 
shows
that print jobs are 'stopped' and can't be restarted.
Shortly after posting this a reader replied saying he saw the same 
thing and
that deleting and re-installing the printer helped. I tried that (Photo 
870
here) and it still didn't print, but then I rebooted and bingo - it's
printing now. Same thing on the G5, although for some reason on that 
system
I had to do this twice (deleting/re-adding the printer and rebooting) - 
but
it's also working now. Thanks to John D. for the tip.
