A couple more thoughts.

Look for printer preferences in your Home>Library>Preferences, things 
ending in .plist, and trash them.

If you have an extra user account, try it there.  Or establish a new 
user account for testing.  If the problem does not happen there, look 
for differences in your Library.

I hope some real expert butts in here.
Good Luck,
