Classic wont recognize new printer.

My boss just got a new printer - which can only be installed in OS X 10.2 or higher. Now - she has a program that only runs in Classic - OS 9 - and she needs to print, but Classic wont recognize the new printer.
I've found the article on how to share printers between the two - will that fix it - or do you need installation software for OS 9 as well - in which case the new printer can't be used to print from the older program.
Thanks,
-Brad
Ps. - The details below are my bosses details.

Hello brad,
It would help if you list the model and make of the printer. I am new to X but have been reading that there are often work arounds for this type of situation. There may be an alternate driver. I have just started to read about "GIMP" printing which i think is like generic driver for many printers.
Start with the make and model and I feel confident others will offer more help. It is quite possible that there may be a workable solution........Jim

Ff ver 28 wont recognize new printer

I was using a brother lazer printer HL1435 on my desktop using Windows XP pro. I installed a
Kodak ESP3250 printer and all other programs accept the new default printer. When I went to
about:config and searched for print I found only references to the Brother HL1435. I reset the
print.printer reference and restarted Firefox. When I go to file print nothing happens. i went back
to the config file and reset all items starting with print and restarted firefox. Firefox still will not
print and the config file has no printer listed.

I installed my printer into my laptop and firefox recognized it with no problem. Both my laptop and desktop are running Windows XP. I completly uninstalled firefox from my desktop and verified the profile files were gone then reinstalled and still the printer will not work. Ive had it with FF so I am uninstalling and going to chrome. Thanks for the suggestions.

G5 DP 2.0 wont recognize new hard drive

I just installed a new Western Digital 750GB SATA hard drive into my G5 DP2.0 tower and it wont recognize it at all. Ive checked and double checked the connections and I can verify that the drive is powering up but the system profiler wont even see it, and neither will disk utility or my Tiger installation DVD. Did I just get unlucky and get a bad drive or am I completely missing something here?

Hi iGhost-
They don't make it too easy do they?
I found this regarding jumper settings: Western Digital Support.
A bit ambiguous but I am fairly certain you want that jumper enabled. In that drawing they call it OPT1

Pavilion G7 wont recognize new hard drive

My old samsung 640 gig hard drive was failing in my G7laptop I bought in 2012. I bought a replacement 500 gig drive that was similar as the old one. After installing it and trying to run the HP supplied recovery discs it wont recognize the new drive. It starts to boot from the disc and then about 2 minutes later a a little window pops up that says no HDD installed and then shuts off. I boot into BIOS and try to run a HDD scan and it says no HDD installed. To troubleshoot to make sure the motherboard or SATA cable isn't bad I reinstalled my old HDD and was able to go into the HP UEFI and scan the old hard drive so that can't be the problem if it can recognize my old drive . I tried calling tech support and all I get is them trying to sell me a HP supplied drive which I don't need because in my technical mind there should be no difference in the drives. They are both SATA 3 and therefore compatible. Please help!

Thanks mbutler1981. Advance Format drives shouldn't be a problem for this computer, it is older one that you can run into issues with.
So basically you are trying to get the drive to be recognized by the BIOS. First verify the physical connections are solid, and in place.
The next thing to do when the new drive is connected is to perform a hard reset: Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
If you are unable to see the drive in the BIOS, verify that you have the latest version of BIOS using this for guidance:
Update the BIOS. If it is lower than version F.26 then you can update it: HP Notebook System BIOS Update (AMD Processors) Version F.26
If you are still having problems with this drive in this computer, the problem is either the drive itself, or a compatibility issue. The manufacturer of the drive might be able to confirm the final diagnosis.

TS1398 I have an IPad and can't print using my HP printer. I have downloaded the eprint app.It wont recognize the printer

My ipad wont recognize my hp printer any suggestions on what to do?

You cannot sync the two devices together. You can keep the two devices in sync by using iCloud and some of the available settings on both devices. Go to Settings>iCloud and you can turn on Reminders , Calendars, Notes, Safari Bookmarks, Contacts, Photo Stream, Mail, Keychain, etc.
You can go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>Automatic Downloads and turn on apps, songs, books and updates to keep all of those items in sync as well.
But why don't you explain exactly what you mean by syncing the two devices? What do you hope to accomplish?

Ipod Classic wont recognize Music as Music it says "other"

I just got an iPod Classic of 120Gb..
Yesterday i installed the latest iTunes, and restore de iPod Classic, it works fine..
Now here is the problem i have around 7,000 songs in my PC, thats like 50GB-60GB.. I tried syncing my device with al the music with no succes, after 3 or 4 hours transfering songs y unpluged from the Itunes button and then disconected from the PC and the iPod says i have no music.. I went to the space in the HDD of the iPod and says 50GB of "other" instead of "music"..
I tried it again thinking i did something wrong, but same problem actually everytime i conect to itunes the iPod says i need to restore.. So i restore everytime..
Now thinking the iPod was working bad, i transfer just 1 song manually and it works..!! I was able to hear it actually. So i thought if i do the manual transfer could be fixed.. I did transfed first 2,000 songs in one step and didnt work.. Same problem..
I know i can use other software basically other firmware and this would be fixed but i love to have my things like the original.. So.. How do i fix it..?
Its obvious there is no way im going to transfer manually 7,000 songs..

Its a problem from apple and apple need to fix it.. When they sell their products dont tell you to sync in packs of 200 songs..
Where and when did you buy this iPod? The 120G iPod Classic was replaced by the newer 160GB some years ago, so it begs the question "did you buy this iPod second-hand?"
SUNDR1V3R wrote:
This didnt help me, im not going to transfer packs of 200songs plug and unplug the ipod.. Thats like 35 times and its going to take me like like a week..
Still better than the alternative surely? And since you are the one who said: I tried it again thinking i did something wrong, but same problem actually everytime it makes me think that perhaps you are, every time. We just havent discovered yet, what that is.
Have you connected the iPod to your iTunes Library and let the Sync complete? Did you see the message telling you that it has completed?
Did you check (if not, try it now) that the Capacity bar at the bottom of the iTunes Device window looks more or less correct?
If the blue "audio" is small, and the orange "Other" is large, then try clicking the Sync button again before disconnecting.
When you remove the iPod from the computer, you do use the eject (aka safely disconnect) button, don't you? Either of these, according to how you have your iTunes configured:

Mac OS wont recognize new Seagate SATA hard drive...

My original seagate SATA 250G drive failed, trying to replace it with a Seagate 2G SATA, booting up snow leapard from the disk, Disk utilities doesn't detect the drive at all, so I can't reformat or partition it. Read some info from seagate, but don't understand why i might need a host adapter card if the computer already had a SATA drive in it already... Any suggestions before I give up? It is an old mac pro, first or second gen, used it all the time and has never failed me until now. Both the broken drive and new drive are internal drives..

You should not need a Host adapter to install a SATA drive in a SATA bay.
But any mis-alignment at any stage can cause the drive connector to hit, rather than engage the backplane connector. The drive connector must fully mate with the connector at the back of the bay.
• You must snug, but not over-tighten the screws at each position with the exact correct #0 Phillips screwdriver to get comparable torque on each screw.
• The drive must then be inserted so that each roof tang catches the correct part of the sled. If one is bypassed the drive will be cocked in the bay and not mate.

Mac wont recognize new battery...

i went down to the store and bought a new battery as the old one was/is dead. put the new battery in and back in service... well i got home and tried to start my computer up, it would not. plugged it into power cord started up and notice the battery was not recognized / available. i pulled it out, the battery, and slammed it back in. few minutes later it found it but then lost the battery.
I have reset the power management unit but thats about it?
Help! not sure if the connections are bad or what. is this a common problem?

If it's an brand new battery, who knows how long it sat on the shelf? If it isn't just a faulty one, chances are it's been completely depleted. Leave it in your 'book for a full 24 hours, noting if the green lights on the bottom are indicating that it's charging. Sometimes it's so dead it can't even generate enough juice to tell the computer it's there. If it still doesn't charge or show up after 24 hrs, I hope you have your receipt, because it's time to take it back.
Best of luck -- be sure to award points if I helped!

Laptop wont recognize new hard drive...

Hello, my name is Moises and i have a hp pavilion dv6000 and my hard drive just died. I looked up some information and purchased a Samsung hd500ji 2.5 500gb and for some reason it's not listed on bios. I ran Ultimate BOOT CD to see what some of the programs detect it and yes it shows up.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi,
This laptop is a bit old and the new hard drive is probably not supported by the BIOS. The biggest hard drive for a Dv6000 laptop is 200GB 4200rpm or 160GB 5400rpm. I suggest to buy a 160GB 5400rpm one and also some external storage for data. As you can see your old hard drive died so use the hard drive in the laptop for system only and keep important data somewhere else...

Ibook wont recognize new hard drive

I put in a new and bigger hard drive and combo drive into my G4 ibook. Combo seems to work fine, at least it is running the OSX dvd. But the new 100GB hard drive isn’t showing up in Disc Utility, so I can't format it. I took it apart again and checked all the connections. Still no good. I can feel the new HD spinning, so I know it is getting power. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately the sound still doesnt work....still mad about that but what can you do...
Have you tried resetting the PRAM? Since the speaker volume is stored in PRAM, resetting it may help.
Thanks for reminding us that you have to format a new hard drive.
