[X4U] Beachball, Network and Shared Printers

[George Katele]

I have a strange problem with my shared printer(s) and network.

My network is a Linksys Router (b) connected to my DSL modem. Hard  
wired to the router is my dual G5 2.0 that is running OS X 10.4.  
There are two printers connected via USB hub to the G5. Occasionally,  
when I try to print from another computer on the network, I get the  
SBBOD (Spinning Beach Ball of Death). It is totally random, and I can  
not relate it to anything I do with the G5. This problem afflicts all  
other wireless computers on the network (my iBook, my kids' iMacs,  
and even a PC that has Bonjour printer sharing on it.

The fix is this: Force quit the application on the remote computer  
(Safari, Word, whatever). Then reset the network: Power down the  
modem and router. Let the DSL modem power  up, then power up the  
router. Invariably, this works - but only for a while.

Anyone else have such a problem?
