After being a mac user for 10+ years I finally upgraded to a new machine and OSX. (Previously used klondike G3 with OS9)
My new Mac:
1.8 iMac G5, OSX 10.3.9, 1G RAM
I've only had this machine for 2 days and I'm still learning about the OS which is quite foreign compared to OS9. The problem I'm having is with my printer. After I installed the printer software I did a quick test with iphoto and it printed fine... So I assumed that it would work with oter apps too. This morning I attempted to print a .pdf with Preview. When I sent it to print the rainbow wheel spun for a while and then the Preview shut down and I was left with a dialouge box that stated "The app. unexpectedly quit." (No Kidding...) I assumed it may be an issue with Preview so I downloaded the Acrobat 7 reader. Long story short; same problem, same dialouge box. I tried Mail for kicks and it's doing the same thing. Went back to iPhoto and it printed fine.
I ran the OSX system disc checker and it said that the system was fine.
Any troubleshooting ideas?
