Boot Up Problem with Firm Ware

[DaveG]

iMac PowerPC 750, G3
Mac OS X, Version 10.3.9



Folks,

Several days ago I loaded a printer driver and related software for a new HP C4280 printer. Since then, whenever I turn on my iMac I get a gray screen with some tiny print in the upper left hand corner that mentions something about "Open Firmware" and says I need to type "mac-boot". When I do that, the computer does its usual boot up and start up process.

I have never had this happen before.

Any ideas?

Dave
