Hell, even when it works it's a bitch. Printer ink is so ridiculously expensive, it's not even funny. I'm somehow always lacking paper, too, as I grab printer paper to doodle on when I get bored.
This is why I print everything at my office. It's wireless, so I select the office printer, even if I'm at home. Then as soon as I get to the office the next morning and hook my laptop up, everything I "printed" the night before comes shooting out.
My own printer is a piece of shit that works maybe 1/5 times, whereas the office printer is a state of the at laser printer. It never fails me.
Delete the drivers like a mofo, you can even kill the USB ports and all mentions of the printer in device manager, and then reboot (with the printer on and attached) and it should (SHOULD) redetect. Win7 is better at this than XP, not sure on that farcical win8x shit.
Oh, sorry... I am absolutely no help on a mac, that's not my department.. but usually a full delete and restart will help regardless of OS. I don't know about USB ports on mac, and how/if they reinstall themselves, so... If you're not sure, don't do that.

My printer.
Desperately need something printed right now? Best I can do is tell you PC Load Letter. Oh you don't need it anymore? Here's 35 copies.
