Appletalk printer gone

by stevefreeman . Updated 21 years, 7 months ago

One mac (OS 9.2) lost the ability to print to a HP DJ 4550 printer even though the HP utility shows the printer is ready and appletalk is enabled and active. The printer is also set with a static IP address and is currently printing via LPR. All other Mac’s (with appletalk) and PC’s (IP) are able to print to the printer so what could have happened to the printer? Currently it shows the printer twice with the same name and I’ve tried trashing all PDF’s to get rid of any instance of the printer. Also, there is no printer icon on the desktop even though Desktop printer utility seems to work alright. Of course this is now not a big issue but does anyone have any ideas as to what may have happened and how I might be able to setup the printer again using appletalk?
