Can't edit printer list, can't set up printers - Powermac G5, OSX 10.3.9

Hi,
I recently installed a new hard drive to our Powermac G5 and reinstalled OSX 10.3.9. While we had no problems printing previously I can't even install a printer now.
When I tried to print for the first time it automatically detected the Konica Minolta Bizhub printer we have, however it used a generic post script driver.
As soon as I saw that, I tried to install the printer properly, by doing this:
Click system preferences > click print and fax > click set up printers. Clicking set up printers has no effect. Neither does selecting 'Edit printer list' from the drop down menu of printers below.
The generic postcript driver will not work for us because there are certain functions that need to be enabled using the manufacturs driver for it to print properly. Consequently when I try and print it doesn't work.
What I've tried so far:
1)Restarting the machine. No effect.
2)Following some advice on the Apple website I have deleted the Library/printers folder, and reinstalled the driver from the Konica website then restarted the machine. No effect.

A PowerMac G5 running the ancient Panther?
Surely not?

Edit & Print listing of all Playlist Titles

I have had to create custom 15 character Playlist Titles in order to navigate the iPod Classic through the factory radio in my vehicle using a 'Lockpick' adapter. The functionality works and sounds great, but its frustrating that I can't find a way to edit (add descriptions) and print a simple listing of my Playlist Titles for reference. Seems like a stupid question, but how do I access Playlist Titles as text within iTunes? Print Screen won't even work because the list is too long. But that shouldn't even be necessary. The Titles are visible in iTunes, where are they listed in the program files?

Use MetaData Repository in your BW system.
On the Admin Workbench
   MetaData Repository
   Click Business Content
   Click on InfoObject Catalogue (SD)
   Select SD characteristics
   and print from there.
Hope it helps,

Editable Print List

Just wondered if anyone could help me.
I have created a Price List in Indesign CS2 for a client, and they would like to be able to edit the prices in acrobat Pro and then compress the file and send it onto their customers - as and when the prices change.
I am having real problems doing this, is this possible?
I just wondered if somebody could talk me through the correct way to export the pdf from indesign so the text can be edited in Acrobat, then exported again in acrobat so the text cannot be edited by anyone else.
Many thanks in advance
Stu

I think the correct way to do this is to create the PDF as you normally would, making sure the fonts are all embedded (but not subset).
Your customer would then need the full version of Acrobat Professional and they would also need to have the fonts used supplied to them so they could then load them into their system. I would also suggest that they get the the plug-in Pitstop Professional to add to their copy of Acrobat. Makes type changes and other adjustments more easily.
When you design the piece try and use only Open Type Fonts or Windows Truetype fonts so that whether you work in Windows or OSX you both have access to the fonts.
Then your customer should be able to make the type changes. After they are done, then re-save the PDF with security features.

How can I set up Photo Stream with OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09?

I am trying to set up Photo Stream and I would like to know what I need to do. I am running OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09. Thanks

You need to have 10.7.5 Lion for the basic iCloud or 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks for the full iCloud. While 10.7.5 Lion will allow you to access iCloud you will be limited unless you can upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks.
This is from Apple Support:
Minimum operating system requirements
You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
Mac
OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
Note: Although you can use OS X Lion as noted above, you will not
be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts.

Can i set site page as New/ Edit form of SharePoint list?

Hello All,
Can i set site page as New/ Edit form of SharePoint list. I know this can be done if i create Application page, but can i set site page as SharePoint list form. If yes, then how?
Also in any case is it possible to set New/Edit form of already created SharePoint list?
Please Help. Thank you.

You can set infopath form on a page
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-server-help/convert-an-infopath-form-to-a-web-page-HA010215035.aspx
Try
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/70287/display-new-form-of-a-list-in-a-web-part-page
So it turns out that SharePoint Designer is the only way to accomplish this. You have to go into the page in Designer, edit the page, and select the Insert tab from the ribbon -> New Item Form -> select "CUSTOM LIST FORM..." (not one of the pre-populated
lists or you will get the barebones default content type!) -> Choose the list for the form you want to show and the content type, click OK -> Save the page in SP Designer and it will now show on the page embedded as a form. Success!

Does the Airport Extreme support HP cp1025? There are two versions of the printer the cp1025 and cp1025nw. I have the cp1025, and can't set it up. Is there a list of AE/bonjour supported printers?

Does the Airport Extreme support HP cp1025? There are two versions of the printer the cp1025 and cp1025nw. I have the cp1025, and can't set it up.
Is there a list of AE/bonjour supported printers?

Bonjour is a transport protocol. It also provides a means of advertising a printer on a network.
Any list that shows printers that support Bonjour is generally an indication that the printer itself supports this protocol, meaning that when it is connected to the network, you can see it in your default Add Printer browser. In the case of the Airport, it also supports the Bonjour protocol and will advertise any printer that is connected to its USB port. The printer itself does not have to support Bonjour. The Airport performs this function. And like many lists, they are not kept up to date because each vendor releases several new models every quarter or half year.
There are definitely printers that don't work when connected to the USB port of the Airport. And this is more that the printer driver does not support this type of connection, mainly due to the port not supporting bidirectional communications which some printer drivers require. The Canon UFR2 and CAPT drivers are a good example of this limitation. But this is only the Mac drivers. The Windows equivalent drivers work fine when the printer is connected to the USB port.
So with you having an issue with the Windows drivers then I don't think it is a case of them not supporting Bonjour but more to do with some other component not functioning when the printer is shared by the Airport. The error message appears to have more to do with local user rights which is probably driver related. I've seen some printers that you cannot use the Windows Add Printer wizard to add them. Instead you have to use the vendors utility because of some proprietary protocol being used. Maybe this is one of those?
Now that you seen how it should work based on when you used the C3188, if you still get that error message at point 6 of adding the C1025 then it would suggest a driver compatibility issue with the Airport - which is not necessarily a Bonjour compatibility issue. So unless there was another model of HP printer driver that you could use to this C1025 and that was also compatible with the USB port of the Airport Extreme, then I would suggest your best action is to replace the printer with a model that does work. Maybe even one that has builtin wireless so you don't have to use the USB port of the Airport.

Hello, Edward and thank you for your note.
I read through the thread you mentioned and it seems that people are having a lot of problems with the iCloud clients, so we're not alone, but the unique issue in my case is the failing email address vs. the working perfectly email address.
After reading your message tonight, I tried my setup again with the preferred Apple ID (the one without the "." between the names), and for the first time ever, IT WORKS. Mail app configured the servers both send and receive as p01-smtp.mail.me.com and p01-imap.mail.me.com. For the first time, I'm able to send and receive into the Mail app, create mailboxes, move messages into and out of mailboxes, keep Sent messages, etc.
I had a 50-minute support chat with MobileMe support via ExpressLane on Monday afternoon. They couldn't resolve my issue but passed me on to escalation. I was told to expect to get an email from advanced support by this afternoon, but none has arrived. However, so far tonight -- and I will check again tomorrow several times before declaring victory -- it looks like something has been fixed on the Apple end to make things work.
I will report back after I do some additional testing tomorrow to make sure the fix is real and is solid...and before I let my friend, the new Mac user, know the good news.
Regards,
Mike

How can I set up my ipad to print on my printer

Can I set up my wireless printer to print things off of my Ipad 7 ?

Hi skp0348,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I gather that you would like to learn how to connect your iPad to your HP printer.
The first step is to ensure that your printer is connected to your wireless network. If the printer is not connected to your wireless network and supports wireless connectivity, please visit HP’s Wireless Printing Center – Connecting Your Wireless Printer. It lists the different the methods for connecting your printer to your wireless network. Please note that not all HP printers support all of the methods, but your printer will support at least one of the methods, if it supports wireless connectivity.
Once the printer is connected to your wireless network, if your printer and your router support Bonjour communication, you should now be able to print using Apple’s AirPrint feature (some HP printers are older than Apple’s AirPrint and do not support AirPrint). If you are unsure if your printer supports AirPrint please refer to the HP Printers and Supported Mobile Printing Solutions document. I’ve included 2 different documents on using Apple’s AirPrint with HP printers. The first one is Printing from Your Apple Device with Non-Web-Enabled Printers (No Apple AirPrint or HP ePrint Suppor... and the second one is How to Use Apple's AirPrint Over a Wireless Network.
If you want more options than what is available with AirPrint (see Apple’s AirPrint Basics document) you can download and install HP’s ePrint Mobile app. I’ve included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQs document for reference.
If you want to scan from your printer to your iPad please download HP’s All-in-One Printer Remote app. The app will allow customers, with a supported printer, to scan documents to their iPad. I’ve included the HP All-in-One Printer Remote Mobile App FAQs document for reference. If you are unsure if your printer supports HP’s AiO app, please refer to the HP Printers and Supported Mobile Printing Solutions document.
If you printer supports HP’s ePrint feature and you want to set it up, you would start by Getting the Printer’s Claim Code. Once you have the printer’s claim code you would add it to your HP ePrintCenter or HP Connected account (HP Connected has only been rolled out to the USA, the UK, France, and Germany), and then you have the option to Customize the ePrint Email Address. I’ve also included the Getting Started with ePrint document which will explain how to print with ePrint and also has an FAQ section.

How can I remove print margins when manually setting them to zero doesn't work?

I'm trying to print a web page that I've created with a custom paper size of 4.5x10.25 inches. I want the page to be printed right to the edge of the paper, with no margins at all.
I've been reading for a few days and the best thing I can find is to use Mac's Page Setup dialog to create a custom paper size and custom margins, which I've done and set to the default for all of my printers. (Hopefully I'm able to post links to images --> http://i.imgur.com/kVbOZLk.png). No matter what I do though I can't get the margins to go away. There's always always always a .75 inch margin when I print and when I print preview (Again, hoping I can post links to images --> http://i.imgur.com/cxlVS8o.png). Just to note: The same thing happens printing other websites and documents (i.e it is not a problem with my website).
Things I've tried:
I've read that the margins are only visible in print preview and printing the page will remove them. This didn't work.
I've tried tricking the system by setting my margins to 0.01 inches
I've tried adjusting the website to not be exactly the size of the page (I made it smaller) and the margins were still there.
I've set "print.print_extra_margin" to 0 in Firefox's about:config page.
I've tried a different printer.
I've tried a co-worker's machine running a newer version of OSX.
I've made absolutely sure that my page size it set correctly.
I'm using OSX 10.6.8 with Firefox v21.0.
The closest I can come to this is using Google Chrome, where there is a specific option for "none" in margins and the Chrome preview looks okay, but I'm not able to specify paper size unless I click "Print using system dialog" which gives me the same problems as above.
How do I remove the margins and just fit to the exact size of the page?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
Does your Print dialog offer photo 'borderless printing' settings for various paper sizes?
Every photo printer I've ever encountered leaves some unprintable margin, unless 'borderless' and/or 'photo' media are specifically selected.
On many of the Canon inkjet color printers I've used, borderless printing is only available when one of the photo papers is selected, even when a custom size specified that is smaller than the actual paper, trying to make it 'borderless'
I stitch together and print panoramas of theatre sets for my local community theater, so I end up with an image about 4.5 inches by 11.5 inches to be printed.
Selecting a photo and opening in Preview and selecting 'Fill Entire Paper' illustrates the standard unprintable borders for my specific printer.
When I open the panoramic image in Preview, I get this print preview. (The set image is of course rotated left)
By selecting Letter and Borderless in the Paper Size dialog for my Canon MG5320 printer, I get this result.
This particular Canon printer of course does NOT actually 'know' what paper is inserted, but the ink is applied assuming that a photo paper is being used, so it will saturate a standard paper.
Hope this helps!

How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

Can you set Reader X's default Print orientation?

Hello -
We have a myriad of web docs provided in PDF form. These are launched in a browser window using IE9 or 10. These are various and sundry parts inventory lists and we are constantly calling them up to print, then dismising them until the next context based request. IOW, the parts lists are not static, otherwise I'd tell everyone to just keep the one they get up on the screen. They are produced by our corp HQ so we have no control over how they are authored.
When these docs appear in the browser window, they are in landscape mode (or at least appear to the eye to be). When we print however they're printing in portrait mode -UNLESS- you remember to select landscape in the print dialog window before you hit <OK>. So, why don't we just remember to do that? We're humans, I guess. And the other thing is the authoring office completely disables all Reader menus, toolbars and other screen elements. You do get a small bar area near the bottom with controls to zoom in/out and print, etc. So I was trying to attack this by calling up Reader at the workstation level to see if I could adjust.
I've looked extensively through Reader's excellent menu system trying to find a way to set Reader to always print landscape. Of course, I can't find it. Then it occurred to me that perhaps this is not a Reader issue and perhaps is a printer driver issue. However, if we default the printer driver to landscape then we're facing the same problem with other applications that require printing like MS Word and so forth. So that's not a real good option.
So, let me ask then if Reader does or does not have a default setting that can be set and that can persist session to session? Even if I did this once a day, it would be better than having to hear the 'Gosh darn it' arias all throughout the day! How about a launch script or launch switch? Anyone know of one?
Thanks, all.

Can i set my pc to print on my printer wirelessly?

I have an HP Photosmart C3180 printer hooked to my iMac. If I am using a Windows laptop and connect to the iCloud through the internet, can I set it up to print on my iMac's printer?

If your printer is airprint enabled, it'll print natively.
iOS: Using AirPrint
explains it and has a link to a list of supported printers
If your printer isn't on that list, you still have options. Your printer's manufacturer may have an app or accommodate things like google docs or the such. You'd need to research this on your manufacturer's site.
Or there are third party printing apps. I've used print n share, but there are several others out there. You'd just need to research and find one that looks good to you.

Can i set a rule to forward email to hpe print account ?redirectreason=notregistered

Can i set a outlook rule to forward specific emails to an hpe print email address ?

CSI,
The spam filters on ePrint are pretty stringent. Here is a list of things that will possibly cause ePrint jobs to be discarded as spam.
1. Blank subject lines
2. "FW:" or random characters and numbers in the subject line.
3. Small graphics or URL links in the body.
4. Photos that do not meet the 100 dpi resolution attached to the email.
5. Auto-signatures in the body of the email.
You can try and set a rule to forward to ePrint, however it may not work. Your biggest enemy will be the 2nd one on the list above.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.
