Re: 1 printer, 1 Mac, 2 accounts

Hi Mary,

After setting up the second account, I tried simply printing first, the printer 
name shows and is selectable in the Page Setup and Print dialog menus, but the 
print jobs just hang. Then I did go to the Printer Setup utility and followed 
everything the Mac OS Help had to offer, but the printer does not show up in 
any Printer Utility windows no matter how many times I refresh.  

Okay, I just tried printing again, this time in the Print dialog window there 
is an exclamation point by the HP printer name. This brings up the Printer 
Utility program. The printer is there, so I don't know what else to do at this 
point. 

When I send the print job, everything goes as normal, I get an blue & white 
spraling progress bar and then the solid blue progress bar and it looks like 
normal, yet part-way it just stops and says Jobs Stopped. When I Start Jobs it 
just repeats the same over again. 

This is the exact same behavior in both accounts. I no longer can print from 
the original account.

I am currently at a loss, so any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

Scott

Did you go to the printer setup utility while in the 2nd account.  You 
might have to pick the printer again from that account.
