I know someone can figure this out. Any web page sent from Safari to my Brother HL1650 laser printer (via USB) refuses to print and gives an "Ignore Data" message. The same page prints fine on an inkjet. I asked at the Apple Genius Bar and they suggested using Preview. Same phenomenon: won't print on Brother, does on the Canon inkjet. Driver is newest on the Brother site. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if printing with Preview actually prints a PDF, but you might try saving to PDF (in the printer dialog) and then printing the PDF. That will let you know if the problem is the way that Safari data is working, or whether there's some strange thing in the content of the page/print.
