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. Peter Kienle -- www.acmerecords.com/oddgitjazz.html

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. -- Matt Broughton Only relatives are absolute.
