If the printer stopped working after a Snow Leopard update, contact AppleCare or file a bug on bugreport.apple.com about it.  I'm not aware of any specific USB regressions in 10.6.x, but it is certainly possible...

If you (or a friend) have another Mac to try this on, I'd do that as well just to rule out coincidental hardware problems on your Mac or printer (although if it works on your Windows PC then it probably isn't a printer problem...)
