I first tried deleting the printer (successfully), but it would not allow adding the printer back in (quit unexpectedly during each attempt to do so). The computer is a beige G3 233mhz running OS X 10.2.8. I tried most everything first: rebuilt permissions using Disk Utility, which found nothing and made no difference. Then Disk Warrior 2.0 (can't run version 3 on the G3, since it can't boot from the DW 3 disk), which found a very few, trivial and unrelated errors which it corrected, but still Print Center quit. Verified it wasn't something in the printer, itself, a LaserWriter 15/600 PS, by printing with no problem to it from another machine on the network.
I was dreading trying an unrated software, especially since both the developer and other users had indicated potential serious problems. I would have done an archive and re-install of the OS (I spent the better part of the afternoon futzing with this problem), but it happens that the partition the OS X is on is very small (just 3.9 GB) for reasons too long to go into here, and it wasn't feasible, without a HEAP of extra time to do some pretty fancy shoehorning that would have been far from easy or elegant.
Finally, I decided to just bite the bullet. After checking and repairing the Print Center Permissions (step 4), Eureka! Print Center not only worked again, it ran better than it had in months - the paper almost flew out - instead of the previous long delays before printing a page (which I had attributed to the small amount of free space on the disk and a pretty slow processor.
Pretty impressive. Wish I'd had the courage to use it right from the start of the problem.
The instructions were clear (once I printed them from a different computer!) and the application's step-by-step approach made it a snap for someone who's never used it to proceed without difficulty or confusion.
On top of which, the download is a full working version, and payment is really on the honor system that way. I shall be sending him my money, and recommending the software to clients and other techs.
Thank you!
