Tiger killed my printer?

[Waiea]

I upgraded my Pbook G4 to Tiger last night and everything went amazingly smooth. Then I tried to print and my printer no longer worked. I print via Airport Express to a Lexmark E210. I actually had to use a Samsung driver (I think the printer is made by Samsung) earlier to get it to work but everything was working well.

After Tiger, it wouldn't work. I can select some drivers and the printer will 'initalize' but it doesn't print so I think the AE path is working OK. I reset the AE, but that didn't help. My Windows PC still prints to the printer OK. I reset printers, or whatever that's called, and then I had NO printers show up. I did a 'find printers' and it then found my printer, but I can't find a driver for it, nor can I find whatever I was using before.

Any suggestions on how to resolve? I know Samsung quit supporting Mac and the Lexmark E210 is obsolete, but I hate to replace it as it still works fine.

Thanks,

Kui

Nope.

It killed my Canon i960.

Runs like a charm on my Dell.

That worked stevep!

Thanks stevep. I got it working again. I guess somehow Tiger cleared my established print set up - I remember doing something similar (gimp print stuff) to get the E210 to work back in March 2005 when I bought my Powerbook. Guess I can quit trying to decide what new printer to buy!

Thanks again.

Network printing has been a nightmare for me under Tiger as well. Gimp prints new drivers may be hte problem. Worked find under Panther, but I keep getting time outs and concetion problems and can't recognize the printer.
