Can't print--application crashes

Whatever application I try to print from, Universal Binary or PPC Rosetta, it crashes when I try to print.

Any ideas?

I've repaired permissions, run Printer Setup Repair, fixed an ownership problem on my Library....I'm flummoxed. I reinstalled the driver...

I'm on a fully updated MacBook Pro, 15", 2.0ghz, 1GB RAM...let me know if there's any other info that would be helpful.

Thanks for any help!
 
HP PSC1510.

I'm thinking I'm just hosed with that computer, that the driver just isn't gonna work with MacIntel....
 
If you tried installing the software that came with your printer, you are probably correct, but fixable. Your Intel iMac came with drivers for your printer that are newer than even those available for download from the HP website. If you tried installing something older, then you may have wiped out the good drivers. Those can easily be reloaded from your OS X restore DVD, as a custom install.
 
:confused: Nope. That didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion, but I just deleted the printer. At least I can save a PDF now without crashing! And I can print at work on the IP printer...

Welcome to MacOSX.com, DavidTO!

Have you tried running "Printer Setup Utility" in /Applications/Utilities? (Shortcut: click on Finder or the desktop background and press Apple key + Shift + U to access the /Applications/Utilities folder).

So, run Printer Setup Utility and click on the "Printer Setup Utility" menu at the top of the screen. Then click "Reset Printing System".

If all else fails and you can't get your printer to work, you may want to get the GIMPprint package (uh, now called GutenPrint, sorta?) from

http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3

It contains a gazillion printer drivers.
