Fixing Printing for Dell 5210n on OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

After upgrade to OSX 10.6, printing to Dell 5210n laser printer was no longer working. Drivers are pretty old. Last ones available from Dell website are 2006 (10.4) and were apparently built for Power PC. Running driver install will not fix. Each time printing was attempted the Dell Printer Queue widget reported that: /Library/Printers/Dell/filter/pstopsprinter1 failed.
After much butt scratching and installing and uninstalling of drivers to no avail... I tried navigating to the folder to see what the heck pstopsprinter1 actually was.... novel solution!?! Turned out to be a Unix Executable File (Power PC)... and when you try to run it you get a terminal session pop up and tell you that you need to install Rosetta from the Optional Installs of the Snow Leopard disk. Do it, Restart and it works!!
Solution:
Install Rosetta from the Optional Installs of 10.6 disk.
Another one bites the dust......

You need to use the 10.6.8 combo updater 1.1 not the 10.6.8 delta updater which requires 10.6.7.

Adobe CS for OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard

Hello Mac People,
I have a late-2006 MacBook Pro which I recently upgraded to OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard. It currently has 4ram and the 2.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
What is the "best" version of Adobe CS for this system? If I understand correctly, there are some problems running older versions of this software (like CS2).

I'm not sure what you mean by, "is it safe." Correct you are that the disc was intended exclusively for use with the computer with which it came.
And, you cannot install OS X on non-Apple hardware. Not only will that installer disc not work on a non-Apple computer, but it is illegal to try and use it. Such a use is prohibited by the software license for OS X.

So, I've taken my panasonic printer back to the shop and exchenged it for a Canon MF-4430. Alas... the generic drivers do not make it print. Is it possible to get drivers to make this canon printer work with my lovely Mac Book Pro Snow Leopard, 6.8?

I could not find a MF-4430 at the Canon site. Are you sure the model is correct? They have a MF4450. The Mac drivers are here:

If you are sure you have a MF4430, look around the canon site for the drivers.

Will Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard work for a windows Computer....???

hi. i am wondering if i could buy MAC OSX 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD and put it into my windows Computer and erase windows and put MAC on it? i just bought an. HP Pavilion Slimline about 1-2 weeks ago. and it has. AMD Athlon II X2. With NVIDIA Graphics With Cuda.... Will it work??? please let em know....

Snow Leopard requires an Apple Macintosh with an Intel CPU. I doubt that even with extensive, license-breaking hacks you could get it to run on an AMD CPU.

Installing OSx V10.6 Snow Leopard on another computer?

Can I install OSx V10.6+ Snow Leopard on this server that has windows on it, with no problem? I reffer to the CD I got with my MacBook Pro 13" OS install. Will something go wrong if I boot it with the CD? I lost the password to it, so I hear I have to reinstall the OS, but the OSx SnowLeopard I own is the only OS I have to install on anything. Is this bootable?

Upgraded both computers in the household and found Lion is too disruptive to workflow. Do I turn in the new laptop for a pre-Lion rebuild to keep Snow Leopard, or do I return computer and get upgraded memory to improve performance of existing MacBookPro?

Upgraded both computers in the household and found Lion is too disruptive to workflow.
Do I turn in the new laptop for a pre-Lion rebuild to keep Snow Leopard, or do I return new computer and get upgraded memory to improve performance of existing MacBookPro? I'm mostly still happy with existing MacBookPro, but Aperture doesn't work, the computer can't handle it.
Other possibility is setting up virtual machine with Snow Leopard server software on new computer.
Any opinions on what would allow moving forward with the least hassle and best workflow continuity?

TA48312 How can I download Mac OSX 10.6 snow leopard

Hi ,
I use to Mac OS X v10.5.8 but I want to update to my MacBook and I need to Mac OSX v10.6 snow leopard... ???

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X Snow Leopard is not free. It can be purchased in a DVD at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Before upgrading, make a backup of your files onto an external drive with Time Machine. After upgrading, open  > Software Update to install Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you will be able to install iTunes 11.1.4.
If you want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade

I've got the Macbook Pro with leopard, if i want to get Lion for it, do i have to get snow leopard first? i don't have a mac app store!

Ian, this might help explain it a bit more:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
It's only available from the store, and you need 10.6.6 to access the store. But if you can download it using 10.6.6 on another machine, you'll be able to install it on a machine meeting the hardware requirements (it doesn't matter which OS was installed on it).

HT1338 After reloading OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard iMac wont install updates

iMac wont update after reinstalling OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

If I recall correctly the gray bar could indicate that a firmware update is installing, or that the system is checking the hard drive.
I've run out of suggestion since without the Install DVD's we can't boot the system to run Disk Utility in order to verify the hard drive. It might be a good idea to give Apple a call to see if they can help you get a set of replacement install discs.
The other option is to find another working Mac and connect the two systems via a compatible Firewire cable. Once connected turn on your iMac with the issue and hold down the 't' key in order to place the iMac into the Target Disk Mode. This should allow your other Mac system to mount your iMac's hard drive as an external volume. If nothing else it would allow you to backup your important files.

A fix for screensavers that don't work with Snow Leopard?

is there a fix for the screensavers that no longer work with Snow Leopard? some of the developers have came out with new versions, but a few of them have been abandoned by their authors. Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?

Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?
Not without action by the original authors, sorry.
I know it doesn't help right now, but like all other OSs in the past, these types of things need to catch up since the bar has been raised once again...give it time and there will tons of entertaining s'savers out to pick from.

I cannot print wirelessly on hp dj3000 after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I have a HP DeskJet 3000 printer. I used to be able to print wirelessly on it from my Macbook (OS X 10.5) and also from PCs. After I upgraded to 10.6.8 the Mac will not print any more via wireless connection. After giving Print command I get response, after a while that the IP address of the printer is busy (despite it isn't). I re-setted all print queues and deleted all printers on Mac and re-installed everything. Then I also tried setting a fixed IP for the printer and configuring it manually - does not work either. I have run out of ideas. Anyone can help?

Hi,
Don't use the drivers above as the Deskjet 1220c is no longer supported on Mac OS X v10.6 or above, there are no drivers provided by HP or Apple as you may find stated below:

You may try the 3rd party HPIJS print drivers which seems to support your printer, be sure to install any of the 3 downloads within the Downloads Required section, then follow the Printer Set Up Instructions:

Did you update to 10.6.2 via Software Update or did you download the combo? If you used Software Update, get the Combo updater instead and re-apply:
