Off the top of my head, I'd try the following: 1) Try re-installing the printer driver software itself.
2) Since you already mentioned the PRAM battery/zapping PRAM/rebuilding the desktop, I can only suggest you trash anything called "Chooser Prefs" or "Printer Prefs" and restart. You may need to manually re-locate the printer driver once again, but it should be the last time. 3) Trash your Finder Preferences file (System Folder: Preferences: Finder Prefs), then restart your machine. You may have to reconfigure a thing or two, but it shouldn't take you long. 4) Try another cable(s). This is the order I'd try things. I hope this helps. Allen ----- "Dr A.P.
