Good Website for Printer Drivers

I've found this really good site for 3rd party printer drivers:
http://linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/
I've seen quite a few other posts in this forum also talk about it. Most of these drivers also need gplgs & Foomatic, both of which are available on this site. This is good for a LOT of brands: HP, Epson, Lexmark, Ricoh, etc. Current version of Foomatic from January, 2008. Gplgs is 2.8.12
Another good place is http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php. Current version is 5.2.3

i am using an old imac blue/silver crt for my kids. it is not hooked up to the internet, but i wanted to add a printer to the imac, so the kids could print off their art projects.
i purchased a HP Deskjet D4360. It says it is compatible for OS X.3.9 (what the imac has)
When i test the printer, it runs all the printer test pages, however, if i bring up an application, it does not print, and the printer utility says, "no driver"
we are also running OS 9 Classic, (so the kids can play the mac games that need classic view)
is this the reason the computer has no driver? is there any help for installing this printer?
thanks

yes. As long as it is a newer one (means not 15-20 years old). Do you have one? If so, provide the make/model. If you do not have one, which ones are you looking to purchase?

Good website for After Effects templates and stock footage in UK?

Hello all,
Can anyone recommend a good websites for downloading AE templates and stock footage in the UK please. I see plenty of gt American companies/ websites but I am reluctant to use templates and videos that are mastered in 29 frames and not 25 frames (UK).
Many Thanks
Joel Watt

Session timeouts.... I really do think it's the server. AE doesn't care for specific network stuff, it's all just volumes/ drives to the program. To avoid these issues, you would have to shorten the refresh cycles on your server availability broadcasts or the "keep alive" cycles on the connection/ session settings themselves. I'd know how to do it on Win Server, but I have no clue with regards to XServe configuration. Still, certainly some simple console commands and a restart of the server software should be able to take care of the matter.

Any good websites for scripting buttons and windows?

i want to start adding windows and buttons to my program, does anyone know any good sites i can look at?
thanks,
Sam x

thanks so much David. i wanted you ask you something about browse windows if you know...
the code at the bottom of the screen creates three buttons - the third is a browse button, so the user can search for a particular file. Do you know how to have a drop down browse box in pop up window?. Theres so little documentation on this sort of thing. i was hoping you would know something about it....
i know that this line will create a browse pop up: var targetFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Import items from folder...");
but i want to be able to have it as part of the window.
If you know anything that would be a great help, thanks, Sam

How to install printer drivers manually?

When I installed Leopard, I opted not to install any printer drivers apart from the one for my own printer.
Then my printer died and I got a new printer -- a Brother HL-4070CDW. I assumed I could download the proper driver from Brother's website. Nope! At the website it just says, "Mac OSX 10.5 contains the appropriate printer drivers for your product."
Using Pacifist I was able to extract a folder called BrotherPrinterDrivers from the Leopard install disks. But that folder contains a bunch of files, and I have no idea where to install them on my machine.
Any help from someone who with a good understanding of printer drivers in Leopard would be greatly appreciated.

Gabriel,
If you do not know where to place them using Pacifist, Follow the instructions listed in this link. Expand the Printer Drivers by clicking on the disclosure arrow, and choose the appropriate manufacturer.
Although the document I linked describes 10.4 installations the procedure will be the same for 10.5 You will find the Optional Installs.mpkg inside the Optional Installs folder.

Purging printer drivers help

i am trying to PURGE my MacPro and MBP of printer drivers for a HP 8500 before I install a HP 8600 that was provided in replacement. However, the HP "Scrubber" Utility would not let me continue to scrub the machine of 8500 info because I had deleted the Printer from the Print and Fax preferences after following the first set of instruction. So i re-added the printer in Print and Fax Preferences and it is still not allowing me to do the "scrub". Then I was provided being information in #2 below, which did not seem to help.
Now I am being told to follow the information in this url under "Additional Information" (#1 below) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771
Does anyone know the proper way to "scrub" my machine of this old information which will apparently corrupt the new install if left around? I've had months of aggravation with the old printer and I would like to cleanse my computer of any of this info.
I have an Epson and the new 8600 and have the install CD's in both cases.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP.

Additional Information
To delete a Print Queue
Click the print queue you would like to remove from the list in the "Printers" pane.
Click the - (minus) button below the "Printers" pane.
Click "Delete Printer" in the "Are you sure..." confirmation sheet.
To reset the printing system (if necessary)
Control-click or right-click a print queue in the "Printers" pane.
Choose "Reset printing system..." from the contextual menu.
Click "OK" in the "Are you sure..." confirmation sheet.
AppleTalk-based printersAppleTalk is a protocol that is not supported in Mac OS X v10.6. Many network printers have support for IP-based printing protocols that can be used instead of AppleTalk. Please see the "To add a printer via the Print & Fax preferences pane" section for information about how to add a printer using IP. Or, visit your printer vendor's website or contact your printer vendor for technical support.If your printer can only use the AppleTalk protocol, the printer can be used if it is connected to, and shared by, an appropriate AppleTalk-capable printer server. Snow Leopard can then use that print share to print via a supported IP-based protocol. See the "How to add a printer" section above for details about how to connect to a shared printer to your Snow Leopard-based Mac.
Upgrading print queues from Mac OS X v10.5 LeopardWhen you update from Mac OS X v10.5 to Mac OS X v10.6, Mac OS X v10.6 will replace all printer software and recreate print queues for any printer from these printer vendors:HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Lexmark, Samsung, Xerox, FujiXerox, Ricoh (includes Gestetner, Infotec, Lanier, NRG, Savin)If you have a printer that is not from one of these vendors, Mac OS X v10.6 will migrate your printer queue from Mac OS X v10.5 when you upgrade.
If the print queue that you migrated from Mac OS X v10.5 has an issue, try these steps
Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
If you still have an issue, try these extra steps:
Reset the printing system (see above). Then, add the printer again.
If the issue persists, reset the printing system (see above). Download and install printer drivers from here. Then, add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, contact the printer vendor and/or visit their website for printer software and support.

Note: I know these steps are very similar to the steps to install the 8600 SW over the 8500A, but in this instance, the 8500A software is removed, and only the 8600 software is installed. The 8500A drivers are installed from ASU, and the 8600 software is utilized for scanning, and HP Utility. These steps have been tested and confirmed to work for instances where installing the 8600 software over the 8500A did not resolve the issue.
Step 1: Run the HP Scrubber Utility
Scrubber
1. Open the HP Uninstaller (Finder --> Applications --> Hewlett-Packard --> HP Uninstaller)
2. On the screen where you select your product, press and hold the Ctrl, Opt, Apple keys (all 3 keys in the bottom left of your keyboard) while clicking uninstall.
You should receive a warning message asking if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL HP Software.
3. Authenticate with your user name and password.
4. Let the scrubber do its thing, then click Finish.
Step 2: Manually remove the drivers/software that were added from ASU (if installed)
1. Open Finder
2. Click the icon for your hard disk in the navigation pane on the left
3. Navigate to /Library/Printers
4. Delete the hp folder
5. Navigate to /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources
6. Delete all entries for HP devices from this folder.
7. Empty the Trash

Oops. I found it with this part. Nevermind...
To reset the printing system (if necessary)
Control-click or right-click a print queue in the "Printers" pane.
Choose "Reset printing system..." from the contextual menu.
Click "OK" in the "Are you sure..." confirmation sheet.

Xerox Global Print drivers?

We're on Windows XP SP-2 and Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.12.
We recently deployed Xerox MFD models 5632, 5645, 5665 and 7345 (color). We are using the latest Xerox Global PCL 6 and PS drivers on all models. When users print documents with letterhead the contains a state seal graphic, in Acrobat the graphic is a very dark box with the seal barely visible. In Reader, it prints fine. Any driver.
I read the previous posts regarding this and there doesn't seem to be any resolution on the Adobe side. It seems odd that Acrobat blacks it out, but Reader is ok. Any ideas why that happens?
I've cross posted this on the Acrobat forum.
Thanks,
E Powell

Hi Michael,
Thank you for using the Support Forum. There are a couple of PDFs that might help you the first is the Xerox Print Driver Platform document. THe second document that may address your registry issue is the Xerox XML Configuration Editor for Print Drivers. If these documents do not provide the information you need please consider contacting your support centre for further assistance.

Looking for printing lab recommendation

Ordering prints from within aperture uses 4x5 dimension which requires too much cropping on my camera. Can anyone recommend a good source for prints of 3x2 dimension ie 12x18 instead of 16x20?

Good luck with that.
I do not believe that you will be able to find a Verizon-provided mobile handset which is compatible with iSync. Several Verizon-provided smartphones can be synchronized with Mac OS X using the appropriate Missing Sync package, but none are available for anything close to $ 100.00, and none are supported at all by iSync except—and not particularly in a robust manner—the Palm OS devices you are not interested in.
I don't believe that you will find a Verizon-provided mobile handset with Bluetooth OBEX file transfer capabilities either: Verizon intentionally has this profile defeated, effectively forcing you to pay 5¢ per transfer using their GetItNow! option.
And, I don't get the iPhone 'service plan through the roof' claim. I am no fan of at&t, but among the four major carriers, at&t iPhone plans are actually some of the most reasonable. Far less expensive, on balance—and, with fewer restrictions—than the data plans offered by Verizon.
I don't think that your observations or expectations could be characterized as reasonable, given all of the evidence to the contrary in the market.

No option for printing your own Greeting Cards at Home?

Nothing like a company giving you an option , then taking it away as an "upgrade". They could STILL give us the option of printing our own cards AS WELL as offering the own professional services. How many people use there card printing service anyway?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a dedicated mac user and there are a are a lot of great upgrades, but tis has really irked me and i WON'T be paying for the '09 upgrade.
Does anyone know of a good program for printing greeting cards?
Thanks, Geoff
<Edited by Moderator>

Actually the "PRINT" command is still there and still works
See Old Toad's tutorials #8 and #8a - http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/OldToadsTutorials/Contents.html - for suggestions on using the print command in iPhoto to iprnt cards
