[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.
