"successful-ok-conflicting-attributes" and doesn't add the printer

I have a cannon S330 connected via USB to a PowerBook g4. And have reconnected it and restarted it several times.

I am kinna a newbie and have no idea what this means.

If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.

Powerbook g4, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I'm having the same problem. No possible way to print!

This just recently occured. The only difference that I can see is that I recently updated a fair few things via software update.
I can add a printer if I choose the 'Print Using' Gimp driver, but it still wont print. Just the error while printing dialog.
Has this been resolved by anyone?

Just solved it!!
Its seems that some of the permissions werent quite right.
So I opened disk utility, selected my hard drive and 'Repair disk permissions'
Voila!

HELP!

I upgraded the drivers on my HP pcs 2510 all in one printer which had been working well for a couple of years connected wirelessly. After installing the upgrade, the printer is recognized on the network, but I get a "successful-ok-conflicting-attributes" error message and it will not load the printer driver. I've gone to the HP web site and followed the suggested multistep process of removing all files related to the printer (library files, etc) and reinstalling the software - it didn't work. I've reset the permissions a couple of times - it didn't work. I've tried to reinstall the older version of the printer software (that used to work) - it didn't work. I'm currently not able to print. Any suggestions????

Hi Laurence,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!

You can try resetting the printing system using the printer utility. It may delete your printer & you'll have to reinstall it, be prepared.

Also,
If your problem is new, it may be better for you to create a new thread which will get more attention and help you get an answer faster.

I had this same error as well as an 'error 13 when trying to add other printers. I do think the problem lay with the print queue but just why, I am not sure. In the printer setup utility, under the printer set up heading is an option 'Reset Printer System'. I selected this and the problem was resolved.
