Since applying the Apple OS update from 10.3.6 to 10.3.9 and security updates, I can no longer print to my HP 1200se printer via USB cable. This worked fine before the update. I had to reinstall my VPN client software and reconfigure my internet/Airport connection settings, so I thought re-downloading and reinstalling the printer PPDs should solve the problem. But the unstuffed HP installer program hangs at the point of searching the hard drive when I try to reinstall the files and I have to do a forced quit. I can delete the printer from the list and add it back anew, and it is recognized in the System Profiler as an HP 1200se, but when I try to print to it I get a message of "waiting for device", even when it's clear there is nothing else in the print queue. My HP psc1315 inkjet printer still works, but the laser printer will not. It's not the 1200 printer or cable, as it works with our (yuk) PC just fine. I'm hoping it's a simple problem that you will be able to solve easily. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
By the way, this is close to the limit of my technical level, so don't be afraid to patronize me.
