Sorry, probably the wrong answer...
Authored by: Anonymous on Mar 31, '01 04:02:51PM

Sorry, but the cause of Error -9671 is NOT ALWAYS related to the use of a USB/Serial converter-- it seems to be a generic error which occurs whenever a connection problem has occurred using USB. Just the fact that you could see the printer in the Print Center to begin automatically excludes the possibility that the connector was the cause of the error-- otherwise, how would the Print Center even recognize it on the other end of the USB line?

Here's a much easier and much cheaper way to fix Error -9671: UNPLUG THE PRINTER FROM THE USB PORT AND REATTACH IT. I've had this error several times from my Epson 740 using a STANDARD USB cable, and this has fixed the error in every single instance.

not in this case...

Just as a follow-up ... the original correspondent said he had tried the plug/unplug routine "about 50 times" before he gave up and went to the store! So it appears he definitely did the right thing!

I get the same error message when trying to print via AppleTalk and LPR (TCP/IP). Strange thing is, I can print with ease in Classic applications, but not in OS X. Weird, especially since I haven't defined any printers in Classic, the only settings I've done have been in Print Center...

(Running Swedish 10.0.3, and yes, I've tried running with US English and it still isn't working. Stranger still: it worked in the Final Candidate, that was also updated to 10.0.3. When the swedish release came I decided to format and reinstall from scratch. That seems to have been a mistake...
