[MacBook] MacBook does not print via Time Capsule / Airport network

 

Hello to the Group.

I have a perplexing printing problem with only one of my MacBooks. I am running the Time Capsule/Airport for a local network and have been in the past printing wirelessly through this set up with both of my MacBooks. But something changed in one of the Macs.

Recently one of my two laptops no longer can print this way. It can print just fine through the direct USB connection to the printer but not on the network.

I "re-added" the printer via the Print and Fax System Preference panel. Checked "share printer" on network. The printer drivers are up to date and identical with the MacBook that does print via the network. I checked Sharing Preferences and everything is checked correctly.

The symptoms are that the troubled MacBook does not seem to "see" the printer via the network. It can not see the ink level indicators and upon printing it just says "connected to printer" but nothing happens.

The printer is connected to the Time Capsule via an Ethernet cable and or USB cable. Neither works with the troubled MacBook. Both work with the other MacBook. Both MacBooks are running OS 10.6.8. I reloaded the printer drivers on the working Mac and all is fine.

I am thinking the troubled MacBook needs some file Trashed and therefore rewritten. Right now I am at a loss to solve this problem. Any thoughts, help or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Bill
