Print Center Repair 2.0 for Mac OS X 10.2 is out. (1.x is also available, and supports Mac OS X 10.1.x.) Print Center Repair is a magical utility which can fix printing problems. What kinds of problems, I hear you cry? All kinds of problems, I must reply. Details, details, I hear you cry. So you shall have them, by and by:

  1. Print Center launches, the cursor becomes a spinning beach ball for a short while and then Print Center quits.
  2. When you try to add a new printer, Print Center unexpectedly quits.
  3. When attempting to use IP (LPR) printing, the job is processed but nothing prints.
  4. When you try to add a new printer, no printers are added to the list.
  5. When you try to add a new printer, Print Center does not quit but instead displays an error message “An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers. Error 1282″
  6. When attempting to print, an alert box with the message “Print Error while printing.” appears.
  7. When you try to add a new printer, Print Center does not quit but instead displays an error message “An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers. Error 1280″
  8. When attempting to print, Print Center unexpectedly quits.
  9. Print Center launches, the cursor becomes a spinning beach ball for a short while and then Print Center quits.

When Arthur C. Clarke said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, he was talking about Print Center Repair.
