The buzz about Print Center Repair:

"If you are having any problems with Print Center that you cannot solve, give this utility a try. It can repair the spool and cups directories, delete printer drivers, and more."

        ~ Ted Landau, creator of the MacFixIt web site and author of Mac OS X Disaster Relief.

"When you can't print, you have two choices. You can search the AppleCare Knowledge Base for the steps you can take to solve your problems, then, if needed, search the Mac websites even further for more processes hidden within OS X. Then you can type all the code from these steps into the Terminal. Or, you can just download and run Print Center Repair."

        ~ Deborah Shadovitz, contributing editor for MacAddict Magazine and author of the Adobe GoLive 5 Bible.

"Print Center Repair offers a variety of printing-related "fixes." [It] can repair problems with printing spools and the CUPS directory itself, delete troublesome temp and preference files, and even delete printer drivers (by manufacturer)."

        ~ Dan Frakes, editor of the MacFixIt web site, columnist for Macworld Magazine and author of Mac OS X Power Tools.
