My recently acquired eMac OSX 10.4.11 was printing in
reverse order by default, so I changed the default by
holding down the option key when selecting print with
the new print order.

Since then, I get no printing and an exclamation mark
on the printer icon, and stopped jobs. "Start Jobs"
goes back to "Stopped Jobs".

I checked the archives, and tried CUPS, but can't
recall the password I need  :((

Any ideas please?

Thanks,

Ros ,

You do not say whether you have done anything else to clear the problem .

It is not unusual for the Mac to lose contact with the printer under
 a number of different circumstances .

If you are in trouble it always pays to :-

Unplug and plug in again the USB connection to the Mac ,
Un power and re power the printer
reboot the Mac ,

and at worst , power down Mac and then start up
with printer freshly un powered and re powered.

Finally , deleting the printer from the Printer q and then
setting up afresh

are always things you can try to get it going .

I would put CUPS on the end of the list .

Good luck

Bob
