Setup your printers in the xp printer/fax windows, (I have driver disk for printers). After the printer is setup try to print a test page, your printer will hang up. Unplug the USB cable from the printer a second or two, plug it back in and your page will print. The printer will work until you turn the system off. After you do this the printing is stopped for all Pro Mac jobs. WHY? WHY?
