Re: 1 printer, 1 Mac, 2 accounts
The exclamation mark means that print jobs are stopped. A very common problem with hp all-in-ones (I know, I have one) is that they don't play well with fast user switching. In my case I cannot print at all when more than one user is logged in at the same time. If that is your situation, try to restart and then log in to only the second account. Also, after waking from sleep, problems tend to appear with these printers. One way to recover, without restarting (or logging out and in again) is to 1) open Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities) 2) select the hp communications process and kill it (you may type hp in the little search box first to locate it) 3) In the Finder, open Library/Printers/HP and double-click on the hp communications icon to restart it. This is a faceless background application that does not show up in the dock, hence the tortuous way to kill and restart. Usually, doing 1)-3) (with only one user logged in!) and starting jobs in the printer (double click the printer name in Printer Setup Utility and click Start Jobs in case they are stopped) restores functionality. Of course, if it does not appear in Printer Setup Utility, that harder to do...

Re: 1 printer, 1 Mac, 2 accounts
I would uninstall and then reinstall the printer drivers. This has cured similar behavior for me in the past.

Re: 1 printer, 1 Mac, 2 accounts
Scott, 1.Have you repaired permissions? That can sometimes help. At least it does for me. 2. Go to printer utility; highlight the printer, what does it say under location? 3. Click on add at the top of the box. Another box should come up. Does it say auto select at the bottom of that box? If not, highlight your printer and click add at the bottom. 4. Click utility at the top of the box, pick test print. All this should be done while in the 2nd account. You may have to repair permissions again after these changes. If these don't work, I don't know what to tell you. One other thing. You're using OS 10, but are you working in classic at the time. I have 2 different drivers for mine.
