Cannot get printer to print with my iMac but will print from my dell laptop?

cannot get my printer to print with my imac but will print from my dell laptop?

OK, well you haven't provided any information so there isn't anything we can do. What is needed at the bare minimum is:
Exactly what printer are you referring to?
How is it connected to the iMac (USB, Wi-Fi, etc...)?
What steps you have taken to connect the printer?
What errors you have run into.
What I would recommend is using Apple's Printing Overview OS X Lion to learn how to install it. Also take a look at Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if it's even compatible with Lion.

  • Illustrator cannot print a file 47.7mb big but will print it after it is rasterize

    Trying to help a user troubleshoot the issue. The user is a designer and prints multiple files. There is this one file that is 47.7mb big and illustrator says it cannot print when trying to print. But when the image is rasterize it will print.
    The printer is Konica C454, connected over ethernet (local connection is not possible)
    iMac is running 10.9.4
    try printing the file from local drive and over the server still the same issue
    I am using the original printer driver from Konica and is up to date.
    If you need anymore information please let me know.
    NOTE:: I work for an Outsource IT company just trying to solve an issue. I do not know much about Adobe. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    stempmac,
    If the printer has or can be furnished with a PostScript (emulation) driver, try to have the user use that. It may solve the issue.
    Illy basically dislikes working with non PostScript printers because they may fail to understand what she is trying to show.
    You may also have a look at this recent thread.
    Re: low quality printing
    Edit: This specification page shows that it has a PostScript driver:
    Specifications - bizhub C554/C454/C364/C284/C224 | KONICA MINOLTA
    It should make it work (if going through PDF works and it is not some (other) strange issue).

    Is the music I downloaded from my CD's already in the iCloud or only the music I purchased on itunes?

  • When printing off the web, I get very wide margins. a 2-page article, will print in 46 pages!

    When printing off the web, I get very wide margins. a 2-page article, will print in 46 pages!

    Try resetting your printer margins in '''about:config'''.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''print_margin'''
    Right-click and select '''Reset''' for both '''''margin_left''''' and '''''margin_right''''' for that particular printer, and then restart Firefox. If you have ever used other "printers" in that Firefox Profile, you'll have separate groups of preferences listed for each printer.

    I changed my Apple ID and password last week.  Today I cannot get into my computer with the new password..help!

    Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
    The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password.

  • Inserted a png PIP into my clip, can see it fine, can see it playing with the clip as expected when moving the play head manually, but cannot get it to play with the clip for preview, pleas help!

    I am sorry if my inquiry here seem dumb but I am a new iMovie user and cannot figure this out.  I inserted a png image into my video clip in the project as PIP, I can see it and move it and can also see it playing with the main clip if I move the play head manually, I can also see the PIP part only playing along with the undelying main clip if I use the Play button in the preview window when the PIP section is selected, however, for the life of me I cannot get it to play with the main clip all together for previewing the entire video via the video play button.  What happens is that the video plays normally and when the PIP section comes in, the video clip stop all motion during the duration of the PIP section and the PIP image itself is simply NOT showing.  Am I missing something really stupid here?  It seems as it the Picture On Picture is a separate clip that plays with the underlying main video clip if selected and played by itself but it is not part of the video clip and will not play with it.  What am I missing here, can anyone please help?

    The easiest way to get up and running is to convert your MP3s to MP4s (obviously there won't be a video track). The following link links to a file that was an MP3 that I converted to an MP4 using QT Player Pro. When you go to export the files, make sure you click on "Options" and then check the box for "Enable Streaming" in the Streaming tab. It should stream flawlessly using QT Player. rtsp://rhsstreamit.rih.org/testmp4/Scorpion.mp4
    Make sure you place the media to be streamed in the proper folder. You should only get a "404" message if the physical file doesn't exist.
    Good luck!
