[DM-MUG] Printer help

[Matthew Wheeler]

Jaguar = Print Center
Panther = Printer Setup Utility

No logic there. Print Center was a perfectly good and descriptive name. 
They won't rename the computer itself for over 5 years! but each 
version of OS X gets jumbled and modified. That's supposed to make 
things easier??

As mentioned, check printer queues for stopped jobs (usually indicated 
by the "Start Jobs" icon in the toolbar of each printer. Click "Start 
Jobs" and the printer is supposed to go back online and will print any 
jobs listed. If it Says "Stop Jobs" then the printer is already 
enabled.

Other things to try: repair permissions (found in 
/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/)
Try deleting the printer from the Printer Setup and re-adding it.
