OSX.2.6,
Occasionally the print queue for our epson 2200 printer stops and an old print job we sent a long time ago apears in the list. Restarting the computer seems to fix the problem but it is a real pain. I have deleted the printer and re-added it and re-installed the driver several times but the problem still occurs about once a week. You think there might be a corrupt spool file or something that is causing this and if so where should I go to delete it.
Next time it happens I am going to delete the epson2200 package in Lybrary/Printers and then re-install to see if that works.

Yes, do this. I had the stopped-print-queue bug for a very long Saturday afternoon shortly after I switched to OS X. I repeatedly tried to reinstall the driver (using various sources, including the CD that came with the printer, the Jaguar Disc 2, and a download from Epson), but to no avail. Apparently the reinstallation left some printer-related stuff lying around instead of starting fresh, which is what I thought it was doing.... Anyway, after I trashed the whole EPSON folder from the library and reinstalled the driver, everything was hunky-dory.

Good luck!

You know, Apple has resources to write Keynote, but you still can't print from OS X. What's up with that?

Anyway, http://www.fixamac.net/software/pcr/ might help you. It's Print Center Repair. Personally, I've given up on printing from OS X for now.
