Hmm, is this one of the older Blue and White G3s?
If so, that could the problem. To run OS-X on this machine, you really
need to have it on the top partition and that partition needs to be no
bigger than 7.99 GB. (You normally would just keep the Apple stock apps
on this this one and you can put the other apps on the other partition.
Actually I would be surprised to find that you got it running at all!
If it is not, then try repairing the permissions, (Disk Utility app
which lives in the Utilities folder which is itself inside of the
Applications folder.
If that fails, try getting Print Setup Repair (from version tracker, it
is a shareware program) -- it used to called Print Center Repair. It
does wonders at fixing quite a few printer related troubles.
Also, you did not mention which printer you are using. Is it one of the
HP printers? These are still having troubles with OS-X.
One last question. Before installing Panther did you check to see if
your G3 needed a firmware update? Often, hardware related problems come
back to not updating the firmware before installing the software.
