HADLOW" <ghadlow at iafrica.com> Message-ID: <BBE81FF7.7659%ghadlow at iafrica.com> Please can someone help on this one. An iMac on 10.2.8 printer HP 1220C connected via USB. It was printing fine - then stopped printing never to print again. Says in the print utility window that the job has stopped and when you push start it jumps back to stopped again! Downloaded the latest printer driver from the HP site and installed it. That helped and all was well till we tried to print from FreeHand and the stopping occurred again. Now it wont print at all again even from Text edit! Is there some sort of pref that has corrupted and needs to be chucked out? Tried the repair disk permissions - did not fix the problem. Please am desperate! Thanks in advance Gen Try Print center repair from Version tracker. Chris -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christopher S.
