My computer level is "intuitively handy," but certainly not a pro.
I've just installed Mac Tiger, stepping up incrementally, all the way from Mac 9.1. Great system, things are working fine. Yesterday I went to install my new printer, HP Deskjet 9800d. Great printer; I'm working with hp at the moment to get things synched with it.
Here's the deal: My Laser Writer Pro 600 was working fine with Mac Tiger until immediately after I installed the HP driver. Now.. not. When I go to the Chooser (working in OS 9.2.1, as that's where my docs in old version of Word can print from), my printer is no longer available to choose.. yet, its icon sits on the OS 9.2.1 desktop, and when I choose "Print" in the app menu, I do get a print dialog box, with my printer's name at the top.
What gives?
