Cannot install printer driver powerpc no longer supported, but works on older mac

Since I use the same driver on an old Mac Book Air, which had a Lion upgrade put on it, whats the problem?
Yes I have a Dell 3115cn printer, which I use on PC's and My Mac Book Air. The Air was upgraded to Lion and works fine with this printer... All is well
So I buy another MAC Book air, which has Lion pre installed on it. Used migration assistant to copy Mac, but failed. Could not log into main user, FileVault problem. So start with a new user on new mac. Shame.
So I go to install the DELL 3115cn driver and I get the message "You can't open the application Dell 3115cn Installer because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Which I under stand what it means, but the same driver works fine on the other Lion machine.
Does anyone know if I can by pass this validation? surly the message is completely wrong, else it would not work on my older mac (with lion installed)
May be only the installer is PowerPC stuff. In which case does anyone know how to copy the Printer driver of the older mac. Is that possible?

Hello,
the problem is not the printer driver that does not work in Lion, the problem is the installer application which seems to be a PPC based application.
Eventually you may just copy the DELL printer driver itself from the working Air to the system in question.
You will find the appropriate folder (Printers) either in the user's Library or the systems library, depending of the former DELL installation method of the driver.
There will be a subfolder named DELL
As both library's are hidden in Lion you have to use "go to" -> "go to folder" from the menue bar to access the library's.

I cno no longer open any microsoft word documents- a message comes up saying powerpc no longer supported. help!

Office 2008, which does run in Lion, MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE you upgrade to Lion, because its installation program has Rosetta-required PPC code.
Another issue is that many people with legacy MS Office data files are experiencing severe problems with translation of the legacy files by MS Office 2008 or 2011.
For example, I must access a file once a week that I created in MS Excel 2004 and its graphs are scrambled by Excel 2011. I continue to access it with Excel 2004 in Snow Leopards installed in Parallels 7 in Lion:
If you decide to continue to use your version of MS Office (even as a backup to obtaining Office 2011, but with conversion problems), full installation instructions for Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) in Parallels 7 in Lion are here:

PowerPC no longer supported -what else can i do?

Have just purchased a sassoon font for MAC (at £67!) and error message 'powerpc no longer supported' appears when i try to install.
What else can i do?
Thanks

You have Mac OS Lion listed as your operating system, however, Lion is not supoorted on Power PC. If you really are running Lion natively then there should not be a problem. Not that I think you are mistaken about your OS, but it may be an error with the font itself that wrongly thinks you are using Power PC. You should really contact customer support of the company you bought the font from.

Cannot install LAN driver for my "KT6 Delta Series" motherboard

I've got this motherboard (KT6 Delta Series). Bought it second hand recently and I haven't got the original MSI driver CD. I downloaded all the drivers from the MSI website (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=474&kind=1) but I'm not able to install the driver for my onboard LAN.
I just get a yellow dot on the ethernet controller under unknown devices in my device manager. When I try to update driver from device manager by searching the folder where I unzipped the driver, I just get a message saying something like "no driver could be found for this device in the selected folder... will you connect to Windows Update to search for a driver...?". I've also tried to install it the hard way by selecting "from floppy disc" and browse for the "b44win.inf" file inside the "WinXP" folder in the unzipped driver folder... but I stilll get an error message... saying something like "can't find any information of the hardware in the selected folder"... it's a bit difficult for me to describe the messages correctley because not English Windows version.
I've downloaded both LAN drivers for this card from MSI download site (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=474&kind=1). Both "Broadcom 5788 LAN Drivers" and "Broadcom 4401 LAN Drivers" and non of them will install on my system. I've also tried downloading from the Broadcom website (http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php). NON of them will install (
I've just formated my harddrive with fresh Windows XP install... The only software already installed is drivers for my motherboard and AGP card. No other software that can make any conflicts. When I connect a network cable to the onboard LAN the yellow light goes on so it seems the card itself is working.... but where can I get a driver that will install???
I've also tried connecting another network card (realtek 10/100) and connected my ADSL internett through it... and used the MSI Live Update utility... but still no luck... the only network driver it gets is the one for my reltek card :-(
Any suggestions???
I use Windows XP Professional SP2. How do I install the drivers for my onboard LAN???
Best regard.

"...so my onboard Broadcom 4401/5788 controller thinks it is a 3COM controller instead of a broadcom controller..." Think it shouldn't be possible since basic data should be written in a kind of ROM. Now, if that could happen, it should be possible to reverse it the same way you did to overwrite that data.
I belive you are right... but I can't reverse it the same way I did when overwrite the data... because I'm not able to install the driver :( I cannot install the driver at all in Windows XP. In Windows ME it's possible to force the installation of the driver... but it does not work. It moves from unknown devices to network controllers... but it gets a yellow dot... and is not working. Every time I boot Windows ME I get a message reporting that something is wrong with the broadcom ethernet controller :(
I belive the only way I can reverse it is to replace my harddrive with another... with Windows XP and drivers for my card is already installed on the harddrive... the same way as I did when overwriting the rom file(s) with data from my Asus board... but I can't make such a harddrive when the drivers won't install on my card :(
I maybe think this also has happend to the onboard Audio controller... and maybe the chipsett also :( The audio controller works perfectley eith the MSI C-Media drivers... but when I run MSI live update... I get drivers for the C-Media device... but also drivers for "VIA AC97" audio controller can be downloaded from the MSI Live Update Utility... The "VIA AC97" is the audio controller on my Asus board... so I belive it has happened here also... and maybe also to the "VIA 4in1" chipset... but this is the same "VIA KT600" chipset as on my Asus board. When updating my Via 4in1 driver, I just get an option to update the inf file. But normaly on "Via 4in1" drivers on other boards I know, there shold be installed drivers for PCI, IDE and AGP. Is it the same way for you guys with this motherboard? Is it only the "Inf file" to update for you guys also?
What I think is most frustrating here is that things like this cab happen. This can happen to everybody. Many times I've switched harddrive from one computer to another... and I've never experienced anything like this before. This time I was not planing to boot the harddrive at all... just format it... but forgot to set the right boot order... so the harddrive booten... and that's all it takes to "destroy" my board. Shouldn't these ROM files be a littlebit more difficult to overwrite, you think? Why doesn't MSI writeprotect their ROM files or anything... to make them a littlebit more difficult to destroy...?
Well... I'm still interested in advices on how to "restore" my motherboard data to the original values... and remember... clear CMOS and update BIOS is not enough :(

Satellite A40-151: Cannot install display driver from Intel site

Trying to update display driver on the A40-151. Have downloaded latest driver from Intel which very helpfully states 'You cannot install this driver, please contact your vendor' no more clues.
Toshiba site only seems to have the 6.13.10.3514 version which is the same as that which came with machine. Am I therefore stuck with no possible upgrades?
The current driver seems not to be 100% compatible with Directx 9.0c * Sigh *

Hi
What Intel graphic card was installed on your notebook?
Is it a Intel 852GME 16MB-64MB shared memory graphic card???
I have found nice information on the Intel page and it seems that the graphic card hardware does not support the DirectX9 but only the DirextX7 and DirecttX8
The graphic driver from the Intel page will not help you.
Firstly you will be not able to install it because its not designed for the Toshiba notebook usage and secondly the hardware does not support it.
But I give you one tip if you search for a earlier driver version.
Some notebooks use the same graphic cards. Try to search for the driver in different notebook series with the same graphic card .
But the new installation will nothing change. The DirectX 9 API is not supported

Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the current incarnation of Snow Leopard, and fixes various issues in earlier releases.
Current versions of Mac OS X 10.6 include the necessary printer driver for the Brother DCP-7030 printer (HT3669). (The asterisk footnote on that printer indicates there was a recent update via Software Update, so get to current 10.6.8 and ensure the Brother printer software update has been selected and loaded.)
If you're on the current Mac OS X version and if have the Brother update loaded (from Apple) and if problems with the printer persist, then remove the printer from your current Mac OS X configuraton, and re-add it, and see if that clears the particular issue(s) you're having with this printer.
From experience, the Brother software for Mac OS X is a little odd, and the older software stuff (and particularly around the scanner controls for their multi-function series) were, um, unusual, and a little unstable. Printing generally worked fine, though. Recent versions of the Brother software are working better including for the scaller, but the UIs and the set-up are both still odd. If you're using the box as a printer (I haven't looked at the DCP-7030 features), then you're best using the Brother software that arrives from Apple and not the software from Brother.
Also ensure the printer firmware is current. That's corrected some odd behavior on some Brother printers.

I know XP is no longer supported, but was told Vista was still supported, but cannot download Cloud trial. Was the info incorrect?

Had to get a new comp to replace one that burned out. Had to go used, but..It is loaded with Vista, which I was told was still supported by Adobe and could easily download PS Cloud. However, this does not seem to be the case, unless I am missing something. However, I get the error message that my platform is no longer supported. What's up?? I know XP is no longer supported, but.....Vista??

I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
Thanks

It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

My photos are not printing right with adobe manages color but works when i use printer manages color. never had any issues untill a week ago.

my photos are not printing right with adobe manages color but works when i use printer manages color. never had any issues untill a week ago.

We use CS6, yes we calibrate using x-rite. I have always had adobe manage colors when printing. This problem just occurred, all my settings are the same as they have been for years. The only thing we did lately is do an update to CS6. We thought it might be our printer but when we use the printer manages color it works fine, The problem with adobe manages color is it is not blending the light highlights like on top of the cheeks with the colors around the cheeks and its putting a faint red between the two it just does not have a smooth transition. I printed a photo that I had printed 4 months ago with no issue, and this time it had the issue that I am dealing with now. Somehow the photo shop manages color is not getting the right info to my printer.
I set paper type
set quality
