My HP LaserJet 1200 printer doesn't want to print anything. It started with a website that wanted to use a shred of JavaScript; this proved indigestible.

Since then it's got more and more stubborn about printing things. Now it won't even print PDFs.

Is there anything I can do?

It's plugged into my G4 PowerBook running Panther, with a gig of memory.
 
I've have bunch of nightmares with my Canon, Brother and Epson printers, software and hardware issues.

Here's what was wrong:

- Printer driver was messed up. Re-installed the lastest printer driver.

- Printer driver was messed up. Removed the old printer drive and re-installed a fresh driver.

- Sent them to the manufacturer and fixed hardware.

... well these are really foundamental stuff, but worked for me 😀

I wish printer driver files on OS X were as easy to deal with as in OS 9.
