"Print" results in a gray box and lockup, and no printing
1. Changing default printer did not work, HP, Apple ,Toshiba
2. Word Excel Explorer, Acrobat and Texteditor all does not work, Eudora acually prints!
>>concluded that some central printer functions was messed up not a single printer driver or application
3. removed user/Library/preferences/com.apple.print.........plist. Does not work
4. tried priting printing as an other user, does not work
5. Removed HD/Library/prefererences/com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist
Still no go
6. Tried repair permission and also repair disk.
Did not work any better.
Note. Permission is fixed after two runns. Disk repair allways note soemthing about one thing fixed. As I recall I used to get somthing along the lines of "this disk appears to be OK" in the OS 9 days, how is it with X?
I can open printer settings and printercenter as well as from withind the apps change "page setup" but as soon as I try to print the whole application lockup
Is there a folder for temporary files during printing like a spooler in Windows??
