Chooser not allowing "set up" in os 9.1

I just bought an old iMac G3 blue and white, 350 MHz, running system 9.1 and finally found a printer that will work with it. I downloaded and installed the printer's driver (HP LaserJet 1012), but when I go to the Chooser, I encounter a problem...
I'm able to click on the HP LaserJet in the Chooser, but nothing comes up in the adjoining "SetUp" box. In fact, the button which reads "SetUp" is sort of great out, unable to even get a click on that. There are some other printers that were previously installed on the computer, but even if I click on them as if choosing them as my printer, I still don't get anything in the "Setup" box.
So what happens is when I go to print, it tells me the iMac is unable to do so because "you've changed your printer but not selected a printer type. click the set-up button in the chooser". Any ideas on what I can do? It's not letting me work the set-up button so am unable to choose the "type", just HP LaserJet
Thanks,
Edward.

I'm able to click on the HP LaserJet in the Chooser,

The left-hand box show the Installed Drivers. If your Driver is shown, it is correctly installed.
The right-hand box shows what actual physical printers respond when the Mac broadcasts a request (for all such printers for a certain Driver) to respond. Nothing in the right-hand box after a quarter minute says your printer is not properly connected to your Mac in the way that the driver expects.
Apple System Profiler can tell you whether the printer is visible on the USB Bus.
The specs for the printer on the HP web site specify 9.1 or 9.2.x Could this be the problem?

Are you certain you do not have this plugged into the USB on the keyboard? That port will only work for a mouse -- a Printer, even with its own power supply, draws too much power to operate there.

  • Constraint on a Date Column to Not Allow Setting Weekend Dates

    We are utilizing SQL Server 2008 R2 for scheduling AD user migrations. We keep track of all user accounts to be migrated and have a column for Migration_DATE with data type "Date". 
    I am looking to add a constraint to the Migration_DATE column to not allow scheduling dates on weekends. In other words I don't want anyone setting dates that fall on the weekend or a list of dates on a table.  Can anyone help me with how to do this
    or point me in the right direction. 
    Thanks much!

    Hello,
    Based on your description, you had a table which used for track AD user migration. And you wan to alter the date column "Migration_DATE" to not allow insert weekend date. If I understanding correctly, you can add a constraint to check the insert values.
    ALTER TABLE teble_name ADD constraint ck_Migration_date
    CHECK (DATENAME(WEEKDAY,Migration_DATE) NOT IN ('Saturday','Sunday'))

  • IMessage not allowing set up, iMessage not allowing set up

    I had this problem before with iPad 2 and tech support high up from iTunes needed to fix something. Just restored iPad 2 and same problem
    Last time was related to credit card registration date change.
    It's a real pain to get a message like the user name is already in use. Any ides?
    Thanks

    Launch Settings
    Tap Messages in the sidebar on the left
    Toggle iMessage to On (if it isn't already)
    Toggle Send Read Receipts to On (if you want people to be notified when you've actually seen, not just received their messages)
    Tap Receive AT if you want to change the email address associated with your iMessage account, or add additional email address to your iMessage account (for example, work and home).
    You'll need to Login to the new address, if it's an existing Apple ID. If not, Apple will ask you to register it with them as an Apple ID.
    Toggle Show Subject Field to On if you want to add an email-style subject line to your iMessages.
    How to activate iMessage
    iMessage is a service run on Apple's servers, and the first time it connects it needs to activate and register the Apple ID you're using with the device you're using. The way it does that is by having you login with your Apple ID. If the connection is ever lost for some reason, it may ask you to do it again.
    If for some reason it looks like iMessage is stuck on the Activation screen, wait for a few minutes, then try the following, in the following order:
    Turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes
    Turn Airplane mode on and then off again, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes
    Make sure your iPad is on Wi-Fi, reboot your iPad, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes
    Wait and try again later -- Apple's servers can get overwhelmed or experience outages just like anyone else's

  • Copying text in Reader 9 in pdf that was set to not allow copy in Acrobat 8

    i have acrobat 8 professional and set a document to be password protected and not allow copying of selected text.
    in Reader 9 i am able to select and copy text after providing the password.
    why doesn't Reader 9 honor all the secuity set in Acrobat 8?  seems like a gaping security hole.  and i have one not very happy client.

    yes, i presume that is true.
    the viewers are already bound by an NDA, so the attempt is to just put up reasonable barriers to the easy grabbing of proprietary information.
    as we all know, there are lots of ways people can steal information regardless of the safeguards, but hopefully a combination of reasonable safeguards, contractual compliance, authenticated and logged access, and choosing partners wisely will minimize the chances for real losses.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Does not allow to set time characteristics while performing Partition

    I had loaded the monthly inventory cube without setting any partition.
    Now, when I tried to partition the cube thru RSDCUBE >> Change >> DB performance >> Partition, the time characteristic is greyed off and does not allow to set.
    Is it becuase the cube had been loaded? Can I perform the partition now that I had compressed the request in the cube?

    Yes you are correct....You want to modify an InfoCube into which data has already been loaded. You use remodeling to change the structure of the object without losing data.
    You use partitioning to split the total dataset for an InfoProvider into several, smaller, physically independent and redundancy-free units. This separation improves system performance when you analyze data delete data from the InfoProvider.
    You can only partition a dataset using one of the two partitioning criteria u2018calendar monthu2019 (0CALMONTH) or u2018fiscal year/period (0FISCPER). At least one of the two InfoObjects must be contained in the InfoProvider.
    But you are trying to partition the cube which already has data so...You choose Repartitioning...
    Repartitioning can be useful if you have already loaded data to your InfoCube, and:
    ●      You did not partition the InfoCube when you created it.
    ●      You loaded more data into your InfoCube than you had planned when you partitioned it.
    ●      You did not choose a long enough period of time for partitioning.
    ●      Some partitions contain no data or little data due to data archiving over a period of time.
    Let me know if you need help with the steps to perform repartitioning

  • Set The Secured Files, Not allow printing and saving to another location

    Dear Sir / Madam,
    Please help...
    Possible to set the security permission for share files, not allow end users to printing and saving a PDF to another location.
    Thanks,
    Alex Tai

    Hi Alex,
    Possible to set the security permission for share files, not allow end users to printing and saving a PDF to another location.
    Based on my tests, users can save the document with only Read permission, which is by design. If you don’t want users to print files, please do not give the print permissions on printers.

  • My 6  is not allowing me access to icloud nor to any of my email addresses.  I've tried to reset it but it is asking me for my 'restrictions' passcode and I never set one up. What should I do?

    My 6+ iphone is not allowing me to access icloud nor any of my email accounts.  I've tried to reset it but it asks for my 'restrictions' passcode which I
    did not set up.  I can't reset it via itunes either because it says I have to turn 'find my iphone' off but it is off.  What should I do please?

    Hi nadzpad,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone 6 Plus. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing or describing. If you are being asked for a Restrictions password, you may find the following article helpful:

  • I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all photos. And I cannot find them anywhere.

    I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all 129 photos of my graduation and friends from the past two days. And I cannot find them anywhere, photo stream, ICloud, nothing. Where can I get back my memories?

    Were the photos taken by your new iPhone?  If so, did you not import them off your phone to your computer (as you would any other digital camera) before the restore?  If not, restoring wiped the data off the phone and your pictures are gone.
    Sounds like a good time to (re)read the User Guide.

  • "Set Associations" will not allow Office 2013 Programs / executables to be Associated to a file type

    Have Office 2010 and 2013 installed (installing 2010 first, then 2013) and after Windows Update applied Office 2010 SP2 later on, all of my Office file associations (except for Outlook, it points to 2013 as
    expected) open up Office 2010 programs.  And I'm happy that some programs (Access for example) continue to default to Access 2010.
    Ok, so the problem is that for those Office programs that I want to associate to 2013 versions (Excel, PowerPoint & Word as the biggest examples), when I go into "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default
    Programs\Set Associations" and pick .doc as an example (I've also tried .xls, .xlsx, .docx) and click on "Change Program", then "More Options", "Look for another app on this PC", and finally navigate to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
    Office 15\root\office15" to double click on excel.exe or winword.exe as appropriate, the selection is ignored (i.e. the icon doesn't change to the Office 2013 style and double clicking on .doc file opens it up in Word 2010).
    I do understand there is a "Fix" by either repairing the Office 2013 install or I believe to have seen a Microsoft downloadable fix program, though I do not want to run these as I'm told they will reset
    all file associations to Office 2013, and there are still a couple of programs I want to open up in Office 2010, till I get a comfort level with Office 2013.  Also realize that once Office 2013 SP1 comes out, it will do the same thing that Office 2010
    SP2 did and change the file associations to 2013, whether I want it to or not, hopefully by then I won't have much need for Office 2010.
    Also, I find it troubling that the "Set Associations" will not allow me to select specific programs, and I wonder which other File Associations has Microsoft felt appropriate to restrict access.
    Look forward to the feedback as it pertains to the above (which I realize is unique to my IT Testing needs).
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    We can try to change the file associate in Registry key:
    For all users on this computer, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes.
    For current user account, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. If there is no such extension, please create new keys for it.
    Hope these could be helpful.

  • I have an iPhone 4s, and I reset the content and setting. It turned on, I chose English, Australia, and now, I am unable to connect/activate my iPhone through Wi-Fi, and for an unknown reason, it will not allow me to use cellular data or iTunes.

    I have an iPhone 4s, and I reset the content and setting. It turned on, I chose English, Australia, and now, I am unable to connect/activate my iPhone through Wi-Fi, and for an unknown reason, it will not allow me to use cellular data or iTunes. I'm not sure of what to do. It's quite frustrating, and all I need is advice, and help. I would much appreciate it. Thank-you.

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

  • I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps.  I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

    I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive.  I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either.  I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere.  I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

    I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
    Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
    I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
    Hope this helps

  • Calendar:  Why not allow freedom to set alerts on any date/time?

    Hypothetically speaking...
    A man's wedding anniversary is every July 29th, however his memory has failed to prepare himself for the date appropriately for the last few years.
    He recently added this date to his Iphone Calendar app, however it only allows him to alert the event the maximum of 2 days before. Why not allow the freedom to set alerts weeks in advance? Or perhaps allow alerts to be provided at any date/time you feel necessary?
    I feel this scenario, and many varieties of others would benefit to the availability of this feature within the Calendar app.
    I also have one additional recommendation for the app. If an event is considered an ALL DAY event and an alert is set as a reminder, this alert will go off at midnight since it 'technically' is the beginning of the day. Quite annoying in my opinion. Lets also have the availability to set the alert notification time for ALL DAY events.
    I look forward to Apple recognizing these innovative ideas and providing these additions to their next upgrade! THANKS!

    I agree completely that this sort of freedom is needed.
