Printer issues after Tiger update
Night before last, I used System Update to pull down and install Tiger 10.4.1. No problems, but I did not need to print again until last night.
I have a D-Link DP-300U print server to which I have attached an HP LaserJet 5L and an Epson Stylus Photo 820. When I first got my Mac on May 11th and setup the printers, I was able to print with no problems, although I have to use the HP 4L Gimp-Print driver for the LaserJet.
When I got home last night and needed to print a document, I found that the print queue was just sitting there saying that the IP for the HP5L queue was busy and it would try again in a few seconds. This happened a few times before I started investigating.
I tried several different things to get it to work. I reset the print server and removed all printers and added them again in Tiger. Unfortunately, I did not write down all the steps that I took, so I am not exactly sure what I did that actually got it working again.
Nonetheless, the update went smooth except for this one issue that I know about.
