Dave, I'm going along with another poster who speculated that the 
problem was two printers with the same name.

If that's the problem, then at least under 10.3.3, you might be able 
to fix it by doing the following. I don't know if it's available in 
the same place in 10.2.8. If not, maybe the Panther upgrade is in 
order.

Open "Print and Fax" under System Prefs.

Click on Setup Printers

Click on the C84 showing in the window.

Do Command-I (Get Info)

At that window you can rename the printer. Name this one C84-1 (or 
C84 Color, or whatever), then connect the other one and rename it if 
you want.

Let us know if it works!
