Gestetner Aficio CS225 on iMac Intel 2Ghz Dual Core, OSX 10.4.10

Could anyone help me to setup this multifunction printer on a new iMac Intel?
I've downloaded from Gestetner site the latest ppd (y. 2002, vers. 1.1), and put it into Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/REsources/en.lproj but when trying to add a new printer in Print Center I can't match the right ppd, only a generic postscript printer. But this generic ppd doesn't dupport A3 paper format.
Could anybody suggest a solution?
Thank you in advance.

Welcome To  Discussions silvia2k!
I'm not at all familiar with that printer, but here are some observations.
"...(ppd (y. 2002, vers. 1.1),..."
On the Gestetner Driver Download Page, under Color Multifunctional, there are two versions listed for the C5225, v1.0 & v1.1, both with dates of 1999.
But if you notice, no matter which you choose, you can only get a download for v1.0.
The URL/Links listed below, are different, but they both lead to v1.0, when you select Mac OS X.
v1.0
v1.1
"... put it into Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/REsources/en.lproj..."
But whichever one you need, I think you must install it.
Quoted from that website:
"PPD Installer
This PPD installer is used to install a PPD (Postscript Printer Description) file on Mac OSX. PPD files contain descriptions of printer capabilities such as paper sizes, number of input trays and duplexing. Once the PPD file is installed on the system using the PPD installer, the PS driver that comes bundled with Mac OS X can use the information in the PPD to control the print device and enable full functionality. Please see the Readme file for information about compatability with versions of Mac OS X."

IMac Intel 2GHZ express problem...

I have called apple tech support 5 times, since I have apple care, they always help me out, but basically my problem is that at least once a week, I have to do a hard, factory reset of my airport express station in order for my computer iMac Intel 2ghz, to connect to the internet. I have the fastest internet package for DSL and when it tries to connect to the network, it says " there was an error connecting to __________ " and then when I try to open the airport admin options I scan and scan and scan and no network is found. Then my computer crashes almost 100% of the time. So then I reset the airport and then rename my settings and get everything working, and voila, no problems for about 5 days and then again same problem. I have a G4 PPC on the same network, and it has "NEVER" had any problems with the airport express, my settings are G/N and channel is automatic, no password, no security all default settings except for the name. I just bought this iMac the firmware on the express is up to date, and just to be safe I downloaded the 10.4.10 combo updater, from apples support site and reinstalled it. I ran Tech Tool, on my system as well as cocktail and all is fine with my system. I mentioned to apple that there may be a problem with my airport card in my new computer but they denied it on the phone dismissing it saying it was a software issue not a hardware issue and refused to take my computer back for diagnosing all the while I am training to be an apple technician myself, and this has really got me stumped, I love apple and my iMac but I need my internet working! Please any help would be appreciated!!!

Presario-CQ56 Intel Celeron Dual-Core T3500

Hi,
I am wondering if I am able to upgrade my Processor to a Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T9550.
I currently have a Intel Celeron Dual-Core T3500, Both processes run on the Penryn PGA478 Socket. So I would assume there wouldn't be an issue?
Any answers regarding this would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The information you just provided is enough.
I wish that I had better news to give you.
Unfortunately there is no BIOS support for the T9500 Core 2 duo CPU. The actual issue is the Intel GL-40 chipset on the systemboard. It does not support the mobile Core2 duo CPUs
The following image shows the only two CPUs that are guaranteed compatible. Neither one has the grunt of a Core2duo CPU.

How much sdram can the iMac 2007 20" dual core 2.4gHz take?

How much sdram can the iMac 2007 20" dual core 2.4gHz take?

Not SDRAM but SO-DIMM.
The max RAM is offically, 4 GB (two 2GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SO-DIMM) module but, with larger modules released after that model's specs were written, you can achieve 6GB with one 2GB plus one 4GB module.
You must get the 4GB from a Mac Savvy vendor or it won't work. OWC has the larger modules that are well-tested in Macs:

Upgrading Intel Pentium Dual Core T2060 processor on my Sat Pro - A120-223

Hello,
This is my basic system:
Toshiba Satellite Pro A120-223
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core T2060 1.6 GHz
RAM: 4GB upgraded recently ;-)
CHIPSET: 945GM
FSB: 533MHz
Is it possible to upgrade my processor? If yes, which Intel processor can I upgrade to? I know that my FSB will limit my options, but is there anyway to go around this..? I??m a business student so I handle large statistical software packages; I also do multi-media work for my presentations; I realised that my current processor just about handles ok in intense calculations, but I was hoping for something better and more stable?
If there is a way to upgrade my processor, I??m willing to do it, but if not, then I would just have to settle for this one.
Thank you all for your help, I look forward to reading all your posts.

Ricoh Aficio FX16 on iMac Intel

Hi!
I always hated printers!!!!! I recommended Macs to my sister in law. Now she bought an iMac Intel, but I don't find drivers for her multifunction/printer: Ricoh Aficio FX16.
I am really unprepared for printers issues. I thought I could install a "generic" driver to make it work, but I didn't succed. Plus I don't have internet at her place, so it's really a nightmare!
Can someone point me to a simple solution to just print with this Ricoh printer inside Mac OS X?

Since some (not all) Ricohs use HP's PCL language, I'd try "HP Laserjet 6 Series, Gimp-Print" for model.
After that, your best bet may be using Windows... sorry.

Can I add a iMac G5 screen to my iMac Intel for Dual screening?

I have a new iMac Intel 27" system and it replaced a iMac G5 system. I want to add a second screen to my mac so that I can multi task as I work. Is it possible to use the G5 screen to do this?
If not, what is my best option? Thanks

Only by using a product such as ScreenRecycler, all of which work over a network connection.

New Quad Core 27" i5 imac vs New Dual Core 27" i5 imac...

Even tho the Quad core 27" imac has 4 REAL cores as opposed to the Dual core 27" imac which only has 2 Real and 2 virtual(with hyperthreading)....a similarly spec'd dual core actually costs slightly more when you bump up the GPU to match the Quad's ATI RADEON 5750 with 1 GB of SDRAM.
For example with the student discount:
1) 3.6 Ghz Intel Core i5 27" iMac with 4MB level 3 cache, 1TB HDD, 4MB RAM,hyper threading & Turbo Boost AND upgrading the GPU to the ATI RADEON 5750 costs $1,914
2) 2.8 Ghz Intel Quad Core i5 27" with 8MB level 3 cache, 1TB HDDD 4MB RAM, (no hyper threading), has Turbo Boost and comes with ATI RADEON 5750 GPU costs $1899
Personally I'd rather have 4 REAL cores AND 8MB of level 3 cache than hyperthreading. Am I wrong? Why is the Quad core actually LESS?
I plan to do moderate HD video editing on imovie, and FCE, web design, animation using Flash and Anime Studio as well as photoshop and photography work.
Thanks for any and all feed back. I'm waiting to see if the new ilife rumors are true on August 7th before ordering, so I've got time.

It was the same with the last generation, where the top upgraded Core 2 was more expensive than the quad.
The quadcore Core i5 27" is by far the faster computer - partially because of the two extra cores, but also because of the bigger cache and the integrated memory controller. The dual is more expensive for two reasons:
1) BTO options are always more expensive
2) The CPU used in the top dualcore is actually more expensive than the one in the quad. The world is full of people who only look at the clockspeed, and for them Intel makes a model with the highest possible clockspeed and charges them for the nose through it. It is slower than the slowest quad on any reasonable benchmark, but it still sells.
Pick the quadcore, it's a much better computer.

My iMac freezes up, Snow Leopard Intel-based dual-core

Hello everyone,
My first posting here, unfortunately not a happy one. I have a 2006 iMac, with a built in camera, 320GB 2GB RAM and Snow Leopard installed. No windows bootcamp installed.
For the last few weeks I've been noticing the computer getting slower and slower. Last night I ran the Disk utility and found there were some issues with the hard disk. I next ran the disk utility from the Installation DVD and fixed the errors, and subsequently ran disk utility again only to get a notification back there were no further issuese with the hard drive.
The new problem now, is the computer takes over five minutes to reboot (stays on the white screen after coming on all this time) and once up is slowly becomes completely unresponsive. The screen has horizontal lines across it and after a few minutes it is as if nothing is happening on it. I can still move the mouse, but clicking the mouse does nothing, and even after leaving it like that overnight I was unable to get any response from the computer.
I was hoping some of you might be able to help me out here.
Thanks in advance!
-- Kunal

Ok, so it has been a few weeks since this fix. Problem is, the problem keeps resurfacing every so often. And by every so often I mean every two-three days.
Fine, not a big bother. Until two days ago, where nothing I do is helping anymore. The computer starts up, and within seconds everything is frozen. I have maybe a 2 minute window in which I can do something, and then the computer starts slowing down. Another ten minutes, in which I can maybe (if I am pushing it) get one email out, and then the screen is frozen. Nothing I do works.
Any suggestions?

Imac intel 2ghz intel core 2duo 1gig ram

Hey everyone, my friend's imac has been acting up. he recently purchased Leopard, installed it and everything had been running well up until a few days ago when the imac seemed to be lagging. everything was taking an unusually long time to open. The imac had also heated up to the point that a fan had gone off on the lower left side of the imac at very high speed and noise level that I've never come across. Could this be related to possibly bad ram? or does he need to increase (max) his RAM? This has never happened before!

Hello,
Check to see how much free drive space there is. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on the Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
No Mac should make such levels of noise such as you are describing.
One can check RAM here: Memtest for Mac

IMac 8.1 dual core intel 21.5" 2007/8 has vertical streaks on display screen, what is the cause

my display has verticle streaks tat seem to be on everything, they are not differently colored than the background, just spaced about every 2.5-3 inches with a light dark light band space of about 2 inches and then again, repeated across the screen. It shows up on everything, but is more visible on some content than others. is it a video card going or what?

Thanks a lot! If i am going to spend a lot to get it fixed, i think I will wait a while and maybe get a new Imac or maybe a mini mac. with a separate monitor. I do love my imac, and before we got our macs we had many problems with viruses, crashed hard drives & various other problems. With the Imac, even though my husbands and mine are supposed to be the same they have suttle differences. but I have had a problem with the computer I have on warrenty it needed something replaced, Then this last fall we had 3 power outages in a row. They are on surge protectors, but even so, they shut themselves off, or the power did like a cold boot. after the power came back on, I turned it on, and then shortly thereafter the power went off again. Thensame scenario. and one more power failure. i think it was not the surge as I don;t think there would or could have been one, but because it was basically a cold boot 3 times in a row and the computer did not shut down properly, it crashed and would not come on. My husband, worked on it for a week and finally got a blue screen, and was able to get it going enough to format the hard drive. and re install everything. But a lit of files would not reinstall. I had a small 1 terrabyte backup and it was plugged in and programmed to cycle every day at certain times. Well to make a long story short, it did not like the cold boot any more than the computer. we ere able to save about 1/2 of my files. part of which was my photos. I had had 23,000 photos, and now i had 87,000, unorganized photos with many duplicates. it is a slow proceedure, but I have got that # down to 60,000 so far. I am missing my best folder I had with some genealogy info & other stuff in it. Was my personal folder. It would not load into the re done computer. but I still have the hard drive in case things change. I still love mac & don't think I would go back to PC Sorry to talk your ear off, and thanks again for your help.... Myrna Thordarson

Can Lion be installed on an iMac with a Dual Core processor?

I have an older iMac, model iMac4,1 with an Intel 2.0 GHz Core Duo Processor, 2 GBytes of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It is currently running Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and works very well.
I've seen conflicting information about the system requirements for upgrading to Lion. One spec says it must be a Core 2 Duo Processor. I want to see if I'm asking for trouble to try the upgrade. System is fully backed up with Time Machine.

Thanks Allan, for the quick and short answer. I've been reading other posts (should have done that first) and there are good reasons why it won't work. Best one is that the Core Duo is a 32 bit processor while the later ones are all 64 bit processors. Some have actually upgraded to the Core 2 Duo, but have not been successful in installing Lion on the internal drive.
I have a MacBook Pro running Lion and that is good for now. May try to sell my iMac, although it is a very good computer!

Performance on iMac 2.4GHZ, dual core 1GB mem

Hi there,
Just picked up an iMac and am noticing performance sluggish compared on my 2.2ghz Macbook with 2GB of memory. Is it the extra GB of memory that is making the difference?
I also want to make mention that I did a migration from macbook to iMac and am wondering if something went wrong and this may be the cause of the poor performance on iMac. when running the migration tool I chose to have everything migrated from MacBook to iMac. Maybe I should not have. My main concern was to get applications copied as there were some I had purchased for the Macbook and I wanted them to be on my iMac too. Also I am getting spinning ball a lot on iMac.
What can I do to correct the issue? Should I re-install Leopard? If so can someone direct to me proper instructions to do this?
Thanks and I look forward to your replies.

MacOS X just loves memory and if you upgrade your iMac to 2GBs or more you will notice a difference. Anyway, to see if it is a problem that can be solve with more memory open Activity Monitor, go to the System Memory and see how many pages out you have (if the number is too high or close to the number of pages in, then you should get more memory).

Maximum RAM for Mid-2010 iMac 3.2GHz w/ Core i3 Processor?

I am looking to upgrade the RAM on my iMac. This is the first time I've ever done so and the reason for it is that I'm finally starting to experience some noticeable lag while playing games. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means but I feel as though the kinds of games I play shouldn't be struggling so much to run. Some examples of games I've played that have had trouble include Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Left 4 Dead. These games came out a few years ago so it's not like I'm pushing the limits of my machine here! I've done quite a bit of research online but I've come across some conflicting reports on the maximum amount of RAM I can install.
Apple's support files state that the computer can hold up to 16GB of RAM, but then go on to state that this would be equivalent to a 4GB SO-DIMM in each slot. Is that because there are four total slots in my iMac? (See... I told you I'm new at this!)
At the same time, I've also read that it is possible to install up to 32GB of RAM in this particular model of iMac. Is this actually true?
Whichever the case may be... can anyone recommend some good, quality, dependable brands of RAM? Because in doing my research I've read a few horror stories about faulty RAM (and no... I'm not planning on shopping on eBay so don't worry!).
My final question is this: Is upping my RAM actually worth it? As in, will it help my games run smoother and/or better? I ask because I've also wondered if the video card might be the bigger problem (which I hope it's not because I have no idea if it's even possible to replace that).
Sorry for being so long-winded but I just really want to make sure I do this right and don't waste my money. Thank you in advance for any help! =)

Your computer has 4 slots. When Apple shipped the computer the largest DIMM shipping was 4GB so Apple advertises 16GB as the max. According to OWC that remains the maximum for your computer, only the i5 and i7 models can be upgrade to 32GB. At this time 16GB should be plenty for most people.
There are a number of things that have an impact on speed and, of course, one of them is RAM. When your computer first came out the operating system you were using was less RAM hungry. It seems that each new upgrade (or every other OS upgrade) ups the RAM ante. Other things that have an impact are the utilities and programs you run behind the scenes. They can burn up lots of CPU cycles and RAM. Hard drive space is another factor - the operating system and programs need room for temporary files and when this room isn't available the computer slows down. So, are you running anything like anti-malware? Dump it, not needed. Do you have about 25GB of free drive space? If not, free some up.
Quality RAM - not only what you buy but who you buy it from is important. I go with Crucial or OWC.
