My PB400 has been working near perfectly on an Airport network, printing to an old HP 6MP laser printer for the past year in OSX. I upgraded to 10.2.2 a week or two back with no printing problems.
In the past few days, however, print jobs sent by every program EXCEPT Acrobat simply do NOT print. They spool, Print Centre goes through "Processing", the printer blinks away, then suddenly the print job just stops, no error message, and the printer stops blinking without printing the page.
Strangely, I can Preview to Acrobat (5.02), and happily print the page from Acrobat, with absolutely normal printing! Classic prints to the HP perfectly as well. I can also print to the same printer using print sharing via any other computer on the airport network.
I re-installed 10.2.2 update. No joy. I repaired permissions. No joy. Print Centre Repair reported a whole lot of missing files under "Repair Permissions", along the lines of
Error type 1. Unable to repair the contents of the /System/Library/Printers/PBMs/PB_AppleTalk.plugin/Contents directory because one or more of the files are missing or not in the expected locations.
Any explanations or ideas would be most gratefully accepted. Why would Acrobat print fine while preview can not print the same document?
