So I had 10.4.10 and my printer stopped working. When I would go to add it, it would say searching for new drivers and just sit there a very long time it would stop and I could not add the printer. This happened with 2 different printers I tried.
I tried updating to 10.4.11 and it did not help.
After lots of searching I found out I could fix it by resetting the print system.
After that I was able to install the driver and install and print to the printer.
Couple days later I started having the same problem, could not communicate to the printer, could not add the printer back, would sit there searching for new drivers and then would not let me add it.
I reset the print system again, again right after I could add the printer and print to it.
Couple days later the same thing happened again, I made a new user and the same issue occured in the new user.
If an archive and install does not fix it what could be causing this?
