I just made an upgrade to my dual 1.25ghz G4 MDD desktop. I installed an additional, internal drive containing 10.4.11 and a latest version of OS 9. My original drive is still in place, including all software and documents. I used migration assistant to move everything over.

I will erase the original drive at some point and use it as a backup destination. I don't want to do that until I have everything resolved.

My big issue remaining is I can't print from my HP Laserjet 1320. It recognizes the printer, starts the job, and then stops the job. The printer will successfully run a test page.

I have searched for hours and have followed numerous instructions on procedures to try. This includes deleting and re-installing the printer, re-installing the HP driver, and deleting preferences, checking permissions, running disk utility, and also running a piece of software called Fixamac. I also tried a new USB cable.

It told me: The file /private/etc/cups/classes.conf is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. I am not sure what to do about that. Is it possible to acquire this item again?

I am unemployed and trying to save money, and have been able to make a little money using this computer, but I have to be able to print.

If I buy another printer, will it not work either, for the reason this one does not work? Do I need to buy 10.5 and install that? Would that fix this? Regarding the printer, is there any known problem with the HP 1320?

I need some ideas, please.

Thank you.
