1. Try printing a test page.
2. In Printer Setup Utility, try resetting the printing system. Printer Setup Utility -> Reset Printing System
3. In Safari, go to http://127.0.0.1:631 click on Manage Printers. Try to print a test page.

If none of those things work, I'd recommend deleting the printer from Printer Setup Utility and re-adding it.

Have you selected the printer in the dialog? Sometimes Tiger sets the printer to 'Acrobat PDF' and the jobs don't go through, when you select your printer in the print dialog in the app you're printing from it should work fine.

stuffing feathers up your b*tt doesn't make you a chicken.
