Driver needed for Konica Minolta pagepro 1380mf - help please!

Hi,
I have just bought a brand new imac which I would like to use with my 1 year old printer a Konica Minolta pagepro 1380mf. However, I discovered this afternoon that this model only speaks to windows. I have been trying to make it work all afternoon but to no avail. There are no mac drivers for it that I can find. I am running the latest version of Mac osx. Does anyone know of a solution to this?
I am a new mac user having converted from windows so everything is still a bit alien to me. What I mean is that if you can help, I would be grateful if you can keep it simple.
Thanks in anticipation.

Since you have a new iMac, you could always run Windoze on it. Otherwise, peruse http://www.apple.com/support/leopard/printing/ and see if there's anything that indicates that your printer is supported.
Once you sort that problem out and since you're a newcomer to the Mac, see these:

  • Driver problems for Konica Minolta 5430DL

    HELP required please!
    I Have bought the 5430 DL and have run into problems installing the latest drivers.
    Installing the driver for Leopard, I then found out that this was wrong, as it wasnt Leopard for intel Macs, just the older ones. I SHOULD have installed the 10.4 (intel) driver even though I have 10.5.
    With me so far?
    I have removed the 10.5 driver, but mu puter wont let me install the 10.4 driver cos it says I have newer drivers installed.
    It appears that some little b**r of a file is embedded somewhere and I havent removed it.
    Anyone tell me how I can find and remove said offending article, or tell me I am barking up the wrong tree, please?
    Konica have been very helpful ( apart from their driver information desription) but have gone as far as they can.
    Help required, please.
    Thanks a lot.

    Can you tell us why you think you have the wrong driver installed?

  • Os 10.7 driver for konica minolta c362

    Trying to find a driver for Konica-Minolta bizhub c362 that works on 10.8.5; manufacturer says to use the driver for 10.7, but cannot find that driver anywhere.  Any ideas?

    Hi @elbclist,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I see that you are trying to locate a driver for your HP Officejet 7410 on Mac OS 10.7. I am happy to take a look for you!
    As far as I can tell, there is no full feature software and driver for this printer for this Operating System. However you can download the in-OS driver by following this guide, Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update, or directly through Apple at this website, HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
    Hope this clears things up for you!

  • Scanner driver for Konica Minolta 1690MF since new operating system Maverick

    Scanner driver for Konica Minolta 1690MF will not work since new operating system Maverick.
    Update driver came from konica minolta - not through an Apple software update.
    Konica M 1690MF will print as normal but 'image capture' is empty.

    Same problem. I emailed KM support. Was told new drivers were being considered. Not sure what that means. No date given. Have tried several 3rd party drivers, but none work. Would love for someone to post a solution.

  • HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

  • AUR package for konica minolta laser printer (CUPS)

    Hi there,
    currently I'm writing a AUR package for the Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430 Desklaser.
    I have a question to put the ICC profiles files and special KM files to the cups tree.
    The Konica Minolta makefile put the binary "rstertokm5430" to the directory "/usr/lib/cups/filter/" which is completely correct but the *.ppd file and *.icm files are going by default to /usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc5430DL/Profiles (icm files) and to
    /usr/share/cups/model/KONICA_MINOLTA/km5430dl.ppd.gz (ppd file)
    The directory in my running archlinux is
    usrsharecupsmodel*.ppd and
    usrsharecupsprofiles*.icm
    Additionally there are "Halftones" files (*.bmp)
    usrshareKONICA_MINOLTAmc5430DLHalftones*.bmp
    I think about to put the Konica Minolta files in to this (new) directory tree:
    usrsharecupskm5430dlmodel*.ppd
    usrsharecupskm5430dlprofiles*.icm
    usrsharecupskm5430dlhalftones*.bmp
    How do I have to copy these files to be archlinux compliant ?
    best regards,
    Frank

    frigg, my apologies for overlooking an important point in my last post. The three magicolor drivers have different version numbers, unlike the other examples of multiple printer drivers in one PKGBUILD. This means you will need one PKGBUILD for each driver, in order to have the correct Arch version number. There is still value in doing them together, since they have many common elements.
    As a consequence of this change, I think it might be best to put the single PPD file in /usr/share/cups/model/, rather than have a directory with one ppd file in it.  It appears that the KM_PPDDIR variable in the configure script controls this location, so I have added a sed command to the build script accordingly.
    As another consequence, the package names need to be changed. I would suggest cups-mc2430dl, etc. This uses the short internal names used by the drivers, and Arch package names are supposed to be lower-case. This means that your awk script no longer works for all three drivers. Rather than write three different awk scripts, I have ported your directory change to a sed command.  When you package a stand-alone script with the PKGBUILD, you have to also maintain its md5sum, so it is simpler to do everything inside the build script if you can.
    Following are the three incomplete PKGBUILD scripts incorporating these changes. They are complete enough that when you run makepkg, they will  download the tarball (if it isn't already present), check its md5sum, copy it into the src directory, uncompress it, and modify the configure script. One way for you to proceed from here is to add lines to the build script, run makepkg, check that the right things happen in the src directory, and then that the correct things are put into the correct place in the pkg directory. The next line in the build script runs configure, which won't finish on my system due to the lack of libjbig.

  • Requirements for JDBC Driver needed for SOA 8 }connection pool

    Hi,
    I have an AS400 jdbc driver. This driver is JDBC API version 2.x. Also is a Driver Type 4.
    What are the requirements of a JDBC Driver needed for connection pool in SOA 8?
    Thanks.
    Lorenzo Jimenez

    You can use pretty much any jdbc driver, including type 2 and type 4.
    You need to make sure your shared libraries needed by the driver are available to the appserver when you boot.
    Other than that, it is no different than configuring any other driver.

  • Is there a utility to operate a printer under 10.6 from 10.7.2? (No 10.7.2 driver for Konica Minolta bizhub C351)

    Konica Minolta bizhub C351 operates reasonably well from an OS X 10.6.x Mac.   As of 12-17-11 Konica Minolta reports no driver for 10.7.2, and our office groupo C351 will not respond to 10.7.2.  Older Macs still under 10.6.8 operate as usual.  From Apply Support directions, direct connecting between iMac 10.7.2 and C351 resulted with iMac no recognizing the C351.  Konica Minolta support, including "advanced", via telephone, confirmed there was no 10.7.2 driver availabe to date.
    Suggestion from an Apple user (but not an expert) is that there should be a utility available somewhere with which a Mac operating under 10.7 can dial down to 10.6 for purposes of a situation such as this.  If such a utility, or other solution is out there, please share that wisdom. 
    Thanks!

  • Can't install scanner driver for Konica Minolta magicolor 1690mf

    I've successfully installed the printer driver for my Konica Minolta 1690MF multi-function printer/scanner/fax.
    However, when I go to try an install the scanner driver, the following error appears:
    "mc1690MF Scanner can’t be installed on this computer.
    The operation system is not adequate for running magicolor 1690MF."
    I am running 10.6.1.
    I downloaded the drivers from the konica minolta website, and it claims the drivers are compliant up to 10.5 (http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productid=1167 )
    Is there any way to get a scanner driver that is compliant for the snow leopard OS? Is there an alternative to waiting for the manufacturer to update their drivers?

    I am having the same problem. I was able to scan last week and suddenly this week image capture cannot find the scanner. The Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690mf prints fine but scanning is not functioning. I looking at drivesr on Konica Minolta's site but there were none for os 10.6.1. I called them in and they could not suggest anything other than reloading the printer. They could not tell me if this was a known problem. The person I spoke with says that with apple making the updates it might be a couple of months before they have a driver for it..... how frustrating I can't use the scanner for a couple of months??? Any suggestions out there?
