You need to click 'the lock' to make changes and it will be highlighted again. It makes no sense, but it's worth a try. As OSX updates come along, strange things happen to once-normal settings. After the last Leopard update, my Samsung printer ML 2010 will only work with the driver for model ML 1630. I gave up questioning these things; if it works, just do it.

Log in as an administrator user who is able to adjust printer settings without being prompted to enter the name and password. If all administrator users are experiencing this behavior, or if there is only one administrator account on the computer, use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to add a temporary administrator account, then login as this new administrator user. From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then click Accounts. Select the name of an administrator user who is unable to adjust printer settings. Click the box next to "Allow user to administer this computer" to remove the checkmark from this box.
