panther printing woes

great. i noticed today that upgrading to
panther

has screwed up my ability to print to my

hp deskjet 895cse

.

at first my problems

looked pretty similar to those seen by others

, but after installing the newest panther update [ which purports
to fix printing-related problems amongst others ] and reinstalling
the

hp drivers

, now all i get is pages and pages of symbols and control
characters [ actually it looks like it might be trying to print postscript, even thought the printer isn’t poscript compatible ].

sigh. apparently a goodly number of people are having a wide range
of

printing problems

update: 11.14.03 o.k. a call to applecare fixed the problem. it seemed like they had me repeat what i was doing when it was broken, but this time it magically fixed the problem. i think the only difference was i closed all open programs before i reinstalled the drivers, which seems like a decidedly pee cee thing to have to do.
