Firewire and Printing

I was wondering and this may be obvious, so forgive my ignorance.
I've heard of USB connectors (on printers specifically) causing
printing problems (lost connections), but can an external La Cie 160
GIG hard drive cause similar problems?

I emailed Magnet a week or so ago about some strange OSX app printing
where any OSX app (IE, Word X) causes an increased header gap for no
good reason (no deliberate set up to create a specific header
spacing) and printing from a Classic version of IE or Word 2001 is
normal and the header is normal) and still don't have a solution to
it. I did create a new user as Aron and others suggested and the
problem exists in both accounts. I'm at a loss as to what else to
try so I may be grasping at straws, but I'm hoping to avoid a
reinstall of the system. Could disconnecting a firewire drive cure
the problem?
