OK, so I did all fo the right things...I repaired permissions on the disk, verified the volume, then performed the "Upgrade" from 10.3.9 to 10.4...tadaaa....everything was working great, until I opened Printer Setup. Printer Setup window started hanging and I started getting the spinning pinwheel.

Anyway, long story short, I had to delete all of the printers and then re-add my Apple Laswerwriter 16/600ps, which is connected via ethernet cable directly to the machine. Things started working smoothly again....although I didn't try to print at that time Then this morning, I noticed that I couldn't print or create a PDF! The window just acts as if I never hit the print button... Ouch! Any thoughts?

PowerMac Dual 800, 1-Gb Ram, 250-Gb sata internal drive, v10.4.0

I had major printing problems until I removed USB overdrive, if you have that installed give it a shot, if not perhaps a clean install would help you.

Unfortunatly I don't have that device, so I am still stuck....any other suggestions on how to solve the problem? I don't think a fresh install is a truly viable option at this point though...

I have since heard that I am not the only person with this problem. A person with brand new powerbook running v10.3.8 and performed the "upgrade" has the same problem....whew...it's not just me....

It turns out that there are exra Xerox plugins outside of the Xerox folder under /Library/Printers

See this link. The solution is provided by Mr. Bill Northcut
