I I have the 17" Powerbook and I am using the HP 900 series printer/copier. After I install the included printer software I try to print anything and nothing happens until I dump the HP's printer preferences and then it will print just fine. However, if I turn off the printer and then turn it right back on the Print Center says that it doesn't see the printer and nothing will print until I dump the preferences again and then it prints fine until I switch the printer off and on again and then I am back to square one.
_Also after a few days of no problems (as long as I don't turn off the printer) the printer will print gibberish instead of the actual doecument I am trying to print.
_So my question is, if anyone has this printer and is experiencing the same issues or does this sound like a problem with the printer or the print drivers or OSX's compatiblity? Any help, PLEASE!

If you're talking about the 900 series of printers, I have an HP 940c that works quite well. I just plugged it into the USB port and Jaguar recognized it, no drivers needed to install or anything.

I do notice it prints very slowly, though.
