I updated from 10.1.4 to Panther (10.3.4) and changed my printer. Everytime I try to add the printer through Print Utility the app just quits. I understood this was an issue with 10.1 and should have been fixed so is it something to do with just upgrading to Panther?
I've tried using Printer Setup Repair 4.0.2 and am still getting the same problem.
Any ideas or do I have to try a clean install of Panther?
Thanks

Which printer?
 
Before you do a complete installation, you might try moving the Epson folder out of the /Library/Printers folder and install just Epson printers. I did that back with 10.1.x and it worked.

I would not suggest doing a clean installation, but rather an Archive and Install, so that your user preferences and data are left intact.
