Trouble Printing After Installing Tiger
Sorry if I missed a post if this has been discussed at length. I have the newest G4 15" 1.67 GHz with 1.5 ram installed. It is used at home with the new airport and also airport express for extra signal strength. After purchase earlier this year I also bought a new HP 4 in one printer and everything was great until Tiger was installed. I even installed Tiger the second time as a clean custom install thinking that may be the trick. Computer is fantastic but can not print. Every attempt to print ,printer utility tells me that print went to stop print job. I also reinstalled printer software but still does not work.. What am I doing wrong?

(apologies for the rush of this post - my eyes are closing from tiredness!) right go to print & fax in system preferences, press the + button. Then in the windows that opens press more printers... The try the HP IP Printing (or other option). If this is what you're doing then tell me and I'll have another go (tomorrow though!)
hope this helps?!

I think Tiger has 'issues' with wireless printing via Airport. Under Panther, I had no problems using my Canon on an Airport Express, but since Tiger, I only get about 25% of print jobs to work - it's a good thing I don't have to print much . However, it works fine over good old USB, so you could give that a try. Just don't forget to select the right printer when you send the job out.
I performed an upgrade install on my sisters Mac and had to reinstall the wireless printer but it works just as well as before. It prints over the network through the PC. I haven't had any problems with printing.
