I ran the Preferential Treatment - listed a couple of corrupted 
.plist so I deleted them manually, rebooted and still the same 
problem. I then booted up from OS X10.4, ran Disk Utility to
verify the disk - result, no problem.

Booted back to main partition ran Repair Disk Permissions - ok.

Then I restarted the main partition on Safe mode and ran Apple Jack - 
found two corrupted files in Users' folder.  So I opened the 
Preferences in in Users folder and to my surprise, I found two 
folders - Preferences (422 items) and Preferences Copy (154 items). I 
removed the Preferences Copy folder to the desktop. Can I trash this 
folder?

Later in the evening, I installed a router so that I can connect to 
the Internet from both my Mac and a newly purchased Windows XP 
machine.

I went out to have a bite to eat, two hours later, came home, opened 
Mac and now I have no problem printing.

I don't know what happened, but my partition running Tiger is OK so 
far in all aspects.

Oh yes, there was one more thing - in ~/preferences/printers there 
were five icons for BJ F850 and one of them had Apple Script icon.  I 
deleted all five icons and copied the BJ F850 icon from the other 
partition with Tiger and pasted it.

Is it okay for me to trash the Preferences Copy folder?
