I have a HP 840C older printer running with OSX4 Tiger. No problems except clearing out a older QUE that stopped everything newer to be printed. Try that one out.
Check Print Monitor. Clear out the older QUE.
Works with me when I had the same problem before.
Drives you nuts sometimes, doesen't it!?

Just had a printer die. It was disposable. Have an HP G55 All-in On,circa 2000, which worked fine in OS 9. Trying to use with OS X nothing but trouble. HP didn't maintain driver compatibility. Even tried public domain fixes. Good intentions, no performance. Was on HPs' e-mail update list. Recently they informed of their update. Installed, got one good day's use then same old HP driver disaster. On day two my 17" powerbook running 10.4.2 won't identify the G 55. Uninstall and reinstall, craps out in a day. I can't do this daily.
Any common experience/ remedy/ solution/ fix ???
HELP, pleeeease !!!
