Cannot get printer to work with iMac

I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!

It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
is the printer/scanner listing from Apple.
Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:
Epson, alternate Australian site may have more up-to-date drivers for Epson, Epson RIP and colormatching drivers from iProof Systems, Guten-Print (formerly known as Gimp-print), and Printfab. http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

Cannot get Mail to work with BT

I have suddenly encountered a problem with Mail. I cannot now get it to work with my BT account.
When I Get Mail the progress bar shows from 7 to 15 items for download. The download speed decays to zero the progress bar stalls and nothing arrives.
My .Mac mail is fine though. So I have attempted to get BT to forward my mail to .Mac having deleted the BT account in Mail, but as yet no sign of that work-around helping either.
Is there a bug somewhere? Have had no problem with Mail for years and years.
17 inch iMac and fully up to date.

It may be frustrating, but there's a reason it's doing that; we just need to figure out why. So, what kind of email account do you have, and how long have you had it? When did this problem start, and what did you install just prior to this happening, if anything?

Cannot get printer to work through Home Hub 3

I have replced my old router with a BT Home hub3 and so far I cannot get the printer (HP Officejet Pro 8500A) to work.
Printer appears in the "my network" area in the hub settings.
It also shows up in the control panel.
It is connected to the hub via an ethernet cable "to slot 2)
Test pages from the control panel and the hub both fail as does notebook.
The printer itself will print Configuration pages etc just fine.
The old set up worked flawlessly and was easy to set up in minutes. What am I missing?
Windows XP desktop.

Is the printer still is still set to shared? Might of become unselected when you set it back up.

Suggestions for all in one wireless printer to work with iMac

I am looking for a new all in one that will work with my iMac & Airport

About a month ago I got an HP Photosmart Premium c410 AIO (print, copy, scan, fax). I don't remember the price, but I think it was about $200. Wireless setup was easy and it works fine so far. I also use it in a Wi-Fi (Airport) network with a Windows 7 PC and 2 Win 7 laptops; the HP software for Windows is _much_ more user friendly, versatile and faster than the Mac s/w IMHO. The software for it on a 2011 27" Intel iMac running SL is more stripped down and slower to connect, but it works OK. I haven't upgraded the OS to Lion yet due to numerous complaints.
The only gripe is that like most current HP printers, it eats cartridges, even the XL ones. The ePrint function works fine with an iPad (version 1). Print quality is OK for my uses, i.e., letters, photos on plain paper and up to 8.5" X 11" good photo paper).
I also connect to a one-year old HP Photosmart c310 my daughter brought home from college for the summer - seems to be a pretty similar ePrinter, but without the fax capability. This works as well as the c410 near as I can tell. It probably cost about $120.

Cannot get HDR to work with files from Canon 40D

Hello,
I have read various tutorials and the forum and there seem to be a number of things that have to be just right to get the Automate Merge to HDR Pro to work.
I obtain the images on a tripod using a timer and auto expose a stop bracket. I understand white balance setting may be a problem...
But no matter what I do I get a merged file with very bight colors essentially all over.
I have trief JPEG and TIFF conversions from RAW.
Any ideas/checklist? THis is CS5, completely updated.
Thanks

Is there a printer that works with imac

I upgraded my operating system and now I can not get any printer to work??

Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion occasionally results in a somewhat rocky transition with one's existing printers.
I recommend deleting your existing printers from System Preferences > Print & Fax, and adding them again. Better yet is to "reset the printing system" as described here: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
After you do that you will need to add the printers again according to the instructions here:
OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer
Then, check for updates using the App Store. All your printer's functions that you have been accustomed to using in Snow Leopard should still be available, though some are hidden in dropdown menu selections using OS X's standard Print dialog.

HP 316C printer not working with Imac

Hi Everyone,
Can you help us with the following problem.
A friend of mine bought an Imac together with Mac OS Tiger Dutch latest version.
He formerly used a Windows based computer with an HP 316C Deskjet printer. Now he wants to connect this printer to his new Imac.
I searched the whole HP website for the Macintosh drivers but I found none despite the fact there where Vista drivers for this model.
Can you tell us how we can install this printer on this Imac?
I thank you very much in advance for your efforts and time spend on our problem.
Have a nice day.
Friendly greetings,
Chris

Bad_Wolf,
Mac OS X already has drivers included in the operating system (assuming that you have not done a custom setup and did not select printer drivers) you can setup your printer as easy as 1-2-3!
Alright now lets get started!
First I strongly recommend that you verify that you have any available updates installed. You can do this by clicking on the apple menu, which is located on the very far left hand side of the finder bar. In the Apple menu click software update. If no updates are found install them, if not then lets continue with resolving your issue.
Once verified that all updates are installed, ensure that your printer is connected via USB and turned on then locate the printer setup utility. It is located in the utilities folder. (Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities) Once located open the application and a new window will open with the heading "Printer List" in that window click add. Mac OS X will automatically at this point search for and install the printer and the necessary driver.
Hope this helps!
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please don't hesitate to let me know!

Cannot get ODBC to work with Instant Client

Hi,
I am having problems getting ODBC working with instant client. This is what I have done so far:
1. I installed Instant Client from this page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
The file I downloaded was: instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
2. Next, I installed SQL*Plus with this file: instantclient-sqlplus-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
Now I have SQL*Plus working with instant client.
3. After that I downloaded instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip for ODBC.
4. I unzipped the odbc zip file into the Instant Client folder and ran odbc_install.exe. Now I have 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' showing up in the drivers tab of ODBC Data Source Administrator.
5. Now, if I try to add add a DSN and choose 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' as the data source, I get an error "ODBC Administrator has stopped working" (http://i50.tinypic.com/jifl2g.png)
I can add DSNs using any other data source without problems. The aforementioned error comes up only when I use 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' as the data source.
Can someone please let me know how to resolve this?
I am running Windows Vista Business edition 32-bit.
Thanks & Regards,
Ubaidullah Nubar.

Two dimensions of compatibility/requirements:
Vertically - This is your application, APIs, .Net, operating system etc. that may define requirements on Oracle Client version, and vice versa.
Horisontally - "on the wire" or connectivity wise - Oracle certifies client - server interoperability at least two releases or major versions back/apart, so yes, 10.2 is/was* supported. See MOS interoperability matrix for your specific case.
(*was since 10.2 Database is out of support or even Extended support by now. Perhaps it is time to upgrade the server side also ;-))

I cannot get anything to work with the iPhone Configuration Utility

I have to set up 30 ipad 2's with restrictions set on them for the students...i created the configuration profile and click install and nothing happens...i have been to the extensive (two article) help tutorial...i have done everything it says to do...i cannot email the config to them because we don't want them using email...so not wanting to set up 30 ipads with an email addy...was wondering if there was another program with better tech support articles and is easy to set up and use...this is kinda useless...

Jaheedi, it sounds like you've tried a lot to make this work....my experience has been that in mlost cases if a profile fails to install it is usually due to a required payload not having been configured. It can happen if a payload category gets opened(General for example) inadvertently and then payloads within that category are not completed.(Identifier for example), then the profile will fail to install. Also, I've only got it to reliably work over a USB connection ( we use encrypted profiles with a "with authentication" removal option).....you might try installing a very basic profile with just the General Payload category expanded ( and required payloads completed) and see if that works..if that works, it probably is one of the other categories is incomplete. If you haven't tried the above, I hope this helps a bit.

Cannot get KeyListener to work with JAI ScrollImagePanel

I am trying to display a TIF image and use the page up and page down keys to show page 1 and page 2 of the image. I started with an example for the JAI documentation.
The problem is that I can't get the key event listener to "see" keystokes.
I think ScrollImagePanel() is doing its own event listening and I don't know how to get at it.

Thanks for exanding your explanation. I am not yet skilled enough in Java to follow you completely but I am getting the idea.
I would appreciate a code snippet using my example so I can better understand. In the mean time I found one way to make it work.
In the example I eventually found that this change ..
       show();
       panel.requestFocus();enabled the key listener. Bringing the window, even clicking on the panel, didn't give it focus. I understand that the window has to have the focus in order for the key listener to function (different from the mouse listender). I don't understand why the application did not have "focus" even though it was on top and active.
Oh well, lots to learn.
Thanks for your suggestion!

I can't get printer to work on iMAC!

It was working until I used the airport utility (1.3.3) on my iPhone to reconfigure my airport extreme to allow printer to connect to wifi via PIN. Now it works on phones and iPads and windows laptop but not iMAC. I have an HP Officejet 4622.

Go to > OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system and use those instructions to reset the iMac's printing system.

Cannot get "passwd" to work with pam_winbind (Active Directory/Samba)

I've have a Samba Active Directory server and AD users can log in to linux boxes. I'd like them to be able to change their passwords from Linux.
I've set up winbind and PAM and users can log in fine. However, users cannot change passwords.
I used the PAM configuration as per the wiki, although I note that /etc/pam.d/passwd doesn't include the "system-auth" file that the Wiki instructions describe. I can either paste the "password" entries into /etc/pam.d/passwd or modify it to include "system-auth". I've tried both ways without any luck. Here is the PAM config I have (from the Wiki instructions):
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_localuser.so
password [success=2 default=die] pam_winbind.so
password [success=1 default=die] pam_unix.so sha512 shadow
password requisite pam_deny.so
password optional pam_permit.so
and here is a typical session
$ passwd

We are getting the same message output: "com.sco.tta.common.asadutils", but ours say: "com.sco.tta.common.asadutils.ExpiredEvaluationException: ErrEvalExpired\Session failed: Command execution failed"
Does anyone know where can I get info about this output?
cs0aluc, how did you get your error fixed?
Thanks in advance.
