[Ham-Mac] OT - My mac won't print

Sorry to bring up a non-ham problem, but a few days ago my PPC Mini
stopped printing and hopefully some of the gurus here can help. When
I send a document to the printer (the dialog looks normal), the motor
in the printer makes some noise and I see the blinking LED showing
that the file is being transferred to the printer. At that point it
just stops. The printer queue says the job stopped, but restarting
it just causes the same thing to happen again. I installed another
printer and got the same results. Both printers work correctly when
I try them with a Windows 98SE computer, just not with the Mac. All
other USB devices appear to be working fine. If I remove the printer
and then reconnect the cable it is recognized and the driver shows up
but it still acts the same.
Any ideas?
TIA.
