New HP Laserjet 2420 - printing crashes in all apps

Hello -

I recently purchased an HP Laserjet 2420 printer, and have tried to get it working without success. I'm using OS 10.3.9 with a USB cable. I can print only my e-mails in Microsoft Entourage, but every other application I've tried it with has resulted in the same crash (see snippet below from crash report)

I've tried a variety of things to fix the problem -- trashing printer preferences, using the fixamac printing utility, installing new gimp-print driver, fixing permissions, etc. Nothing works. I also created a new user account and tried to print from that account with the same result.

I've searched extensively on the internet for answers, and can't find anyone else with a similar problem, so I'm hoping someone here knows how I could further diagnose my issue. HP's support is M-F and I really need to get this thing working ASAP.

Thanks.
