I had a similar problem, but with printers and Tiger, not Leopard: Using OS 10.4.11 on a MacBook, I upgraded using the Apple security update 2007-009 and found that my Epson Stylus inkjet C88 and my Brother HL2040 Laser printer were no longer visible to the operating system. I also updated my iBook running OS 10.4.11 with the same security update, with no problem. A Brother techie immediately declared the problem was with Apple's update; the Apple techie declared the problem was with Brother printer driver. I gave up, re-installed the OS 10.4.6, updated IT to 10.4.11, but without the security update. Printers are now visible. Later, I received an email from Epson which seemed to address the problem. I am now waiting for Apple to correct what I think is clearly an Apple problem: their security update on the intel macbook somehow messed the printer drivers. APPLE: ARE YOU LISTENING?.
