After installing I went to print something on my HP 6110 and I get a printer is busy message or it simply just doesn't print. OS X sees the printer, it just won't connect to it. Printing window comes up and it's starts processing the job, gets half way and sits there.

I uninstalled, reinstalled, unplugged, etc. No dice.

Well, I got it working. I unplugged the USB and the power for 10 minutes. Plugged only the power back on. After a few minutes it some how righted itself. So I plugged in the USB and it printed.

Not sure what happened, but it's working now.

The lesson, which I forgot myself this time around, is to unplug peripherals before doing a system update. Nine times out of 10 these problems are usually caused by forgetting to do this.
