I've been fortunate with my HP, we've got one of the small office grade inkjets. Sorry to hear that Brother is being a pain.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

The status is NOT quo.
Sean, don't kill your printer. Think of the poor little ink cartridges!
I seem to have misstepped.
Nah, I think I'll keep you around.

An interesting experiment would be to create a new user account on your Mac and see if it can print to the Brother printer.

Another interesting experiment would be to test the air worthiness of the printer given a second floor window launch.
Maybe not the wisest experiment, but I'd be interested.

It has been a while since I worked out an airspeed ratio.

Worth a try, I guess, though S's computer has also lost the ability to print.

And actually, if I resort to reverting to an earlier state on my machine in an attempt to fix printing (eventually I *need* to update all the way to 10.5.3 in order to run ProTools), I won't be able to use the same fix on S's computer.
We don't have an external hard drive for her, so she has no Time Machine implemented.

I bet it's similar to the airspeed velocity of an unladen sparrow.

So, I did it. I'm in the middle of a system restore to about two weeks ago. I don't think I'll be losing any documents I can't replace, but I will have to reinstall some software. We'll see if printing just gets broken again. And if it does work, I'll have to figure something else out to fix printing on S's machine.
