Did you get this fixed? I don't have a solution, I was just curious.
Did you call the consultant? He should have been able to fix it.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello, Unix gurus--
A consultant installed OS X 10.4.9 on my G5 as a straight upgrade, not as an
archive-&-install. Ever since, I've been unable to print from any app
without immediately crashing that app.
I upgraded CUPS in hopes of dealing with the mess, but that didn't solve the
problem, either. When I first upgraded CUPS, I was able to print from some
apps (didn't try all of them), but the next day, the system reverted to its
previous misbehavior.
Recently I was informed that there are font problems with 10.4.9 & was
advised to upgrade to 10.4.10, which I did the other day. Quark now works.
However, I still cannot print from any app without crashing the app in
question. When I try to connect to a printer via Printer Setup Utility, I
get a prompt saying I can't connect due to server-error-server (or some such
thing) or (today) I can't open Printer Setup Utility because "an unexpected
error occurred (-10810)".
In addition, I now get a prompt when I try to empty the trash that I don't
have sufficient privileges to perform that action.
I can do some basic stuff on the command line, although I'm certainly no
guru. Can anyone give me any tips on this at all? I'm really at a loss as to
what to do about this mess.
Thanks.
