Hi

I have printing problems since I upgraded to a G5/Tiger.

My setup was working perfectly on the G4 under Panther:
HP CP1700 via USB, HP driver
HP DJ1120C and DJ 500 via GIMP-PRINT

Now except for the DJ500 nothing is working correctly on the G5/Tiger 
(10.4.2).

The CP1700 says it's processing the page, pulls a paper in, but nothing 
ever comes out while the computer says printing went ok. I tried the 
CP1700 using GIMP-PRINT, through my HP Print Server.

The 1120C doesn't even pull in a paper but I get an error message from 
the Print Monitor 'imagetoprint unexpectedly quit with error 6' or 
something like that.

---------------
If I hook up any of these printers directly to my PowerBook G4/Panther 
they work just fine. If I try to print from the PowerBook using Airport 
- essentially using the G5 as a Print Server - same problems as above. 

Is anyone aware of general problems with Tiger in regards to HP printers?

I verified each printer individually by hooking it up to the PowerBook. 
Not problem in the printer hardware or cables. As soon as I try to print 
from the G5/Tiger problems pop up. 

Just to make sure I set up a brand new OS X Tiger system disk, clean 
install, configured the printers and tried to print from there but still 
the same.

Is it possible to run Panther on a G5? I'll try that next to make sure 
that it's not a hardware problem on the G5.

Any input most welcome.

There have been numerous problems cited with the HP drivers in Tiger.  
You can search some place like <http://www.macintouch.com> to see what 
others have had problems with and how they dealt with the problems.

As for the Gimp-Print (Gutenprint) drivers not working in Tiger.  Check 
the version number.  The default version installed with Tiger is v5.0 
beta 2.  It is quite likely that you are using Gimp-Print v4.2.7 in 
Panther.  This earlier version is also compatible with Tiger.  You can 
find the earlier version at 
<http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3>.

You may also want to try using Printer Setup Repair from 
<http://www.fixamacsoftware.com/software/psr/> to see if there is some 
underlying problem with your printing services installation.
