<snip> >Mel Halbert > Hi Mel; Here's my best guesses for things to play with... Furst, 'Assuming' you've changed nothing in hardware except for the cartridge... 1: verify to make sure the correct item is still selected in the chooser. (Obvious, but I'm not making any assumptions) 2: Sometimes Ethernet seems to goof things up. Try turning it off if in use. Note that you must tell it to close the window and save changes before it is changed officially by the system. (Assuming you're on something before system 10) ( After 9.?? I have no idea ) 3: If you have extras installed like a switch box, remove it to verify it is not the problem. 4: If you run your machine 24/7, do a restart to see if that corrects things AFTER you've turned gone through the others. 5: Are you attempting to print a very large file. Sometimes that can booger things up a bit too. I never did resolve that one. 6: Reinstall of the printer stuff from the original installer may make it behave if something went awry in perhaps having a driver meant for use on a 68 k mac while running a power mac. 7: Have you updated to a newer machine since the onset of the difficulties? I have that problem on one machine right now and have not resolved it yet. I suspect that a driver is 'out to lunch' or something.
