I just want OSX to stop losing the printer. Seems like, if I don't print something every day, OSX loses contact with the printer. It's really frustrating how many times I've had to wrestle with stopped jobs, even though the printer is always up and running.

Yeah, that is annoying. But i don't see any mention of printing in Tiger's preview. It needs an overhaul. And that preview thing could be dramatically improved.
I haven't used the preview function and it would help cut down the paper waste. It addresses some of my complaint, but it still doesn't make it easy to fit the contents you want to print to the number of pages you want it on.
yeah but the creative suite dialogue box clashes with the Apple print box. If you want to change quality you have to use Apple, and then you use indesign for layout etc. it's a pain!
Like that pic though. Could be aquaified a bit though!
Like it too. Pop-up menus = pain for changing settings. Sidebar = good. I'll eventually figure out how to change defaults (just moved to Panther but kept old printer, new driver uses CUPS+Gimp-Print and Lexmark doesn't appear to have updated its own driver, and my previous defaults were lost) but for now, despite the finer-grained control the new driver provides, changing settings is painful.
I also like the relatively small type in the screenshot. Does everything in a dialog *really* have to be in 12 or 13 point type? My eyes are fine. Make text size in dialogs (and elsewhere) a user-settable preference, perhaps through Universal Access.

definitely, give users more customisable features.
