[X4U] HP Printer Stopped Working--- It's working again

[Wayne Clodfelter]

Have you tried adding it as  a new printer while connected to your G5?
I don't know that you should have to do this, but I suppose it could  
depend on whether the printer was attached and/or on when your G5  
system was first installed.
