Would it do to just delete the HP from OSX's Print Center printer list (I want to use it from OSX too)? Or could I "deactivate" the HP by annointing the Epson the OSX default again? Sorry so slow, but what would you do to deactivate the HP in OSX?
It's been a while, and I don't have that particular printer handy with me now, but I think you'll have to remove the printer from Print Center, then re-add when you want to print from OS X. A quick workaround is to print to a PDF from your OS X apps, then print the resultant PDF using your OS 9 driver, though that's not something you'd probably want to rely on for everyday use.
A similar issue, I've found, occurs when using the printer from multiple accounts using Fast User Switching in Panther. What happens is that more than one printer daemon becomes active, and they conflict with each other, resulting in no communication between the computer and the printer. The solution there is to drop to a command line, find the errant process and kill it. (Use 'ps -aux | grep "HP"' to find the PID, then 'kill PID' or something similar). That's worked for me every time with that particular problem. Perhaps a derivative of this will work in your case. I no longer rely on Classic, so that part's a non-issue for me now.
Good luck!
