Product: Officejet Pro 8600
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

I am unable to print and the message I am getting is "spool area full".

I turned off "pop-up windows blocked" as suggested by the IRS (I was trying to print my tax return.) That was no help.

After looking at a bunch of different suggestions I finally tried HP's and that was to uninstall my printer, turn my computer off/on and reinstall my printer.

I did all that and the message is still there -- "spool area full" and I am unable to print.

Any help would be much appreciated.
