HP Laserjet 1320

I should start by saying that I'm quite frustrated, so please forgive that.

I have tried everything. I've been a Mac user since the OS9 days and while I don't claim to be an expert, I know a thing or two about a thing or two. *I have never had such a rough time with an OS upgrade and a printer!*

I have tried removing the printer, re-adding the printer, resetting the printing system, unplugging, plugging back in, restarting, various drivers (including Gutenprint), deleting preference files, installing 10.5 drivers, reinstalling drivers from the SL dvd and the list goes on. I've followed every bit of thread advice that I've read here and nothing works.

I have been stuck in "pause purgatory" with my HP Laserjet 1320 since installing snow leopard.

I am not using IP printing. It is connected directly to the iMac via USB. I've used this printer with this Mac forever.

I keep reading here and there that "there's a driver for the 1320 in Snow Leopard. Use it or try Gutenprint". Yes, I agree that there's a driver and a Gutenprint driver in Snow Leopard but for all my trying, *they don't work*. I'm still stuck in pause purgatory.

Can anybody, puhleeeeeeze, offer a suggestion of how they did it, if they've been able to get this printer working? I am really tired of not being able to print at home and having to take everything into work to print.

Thank you for putting up with this rant. I hope someone can help.

Thanks!
