Gutenprint - how to use to install a printer?

The instructions in the supplied doc and the instructions in the apple docs here do not match the dialogues I am being offered.
Presumably updates have superceded the docs.
I can see the PSC 1300, but I cannot see how to assign Gutenprint to it (which I have installed).
Help?
Anthony

To add a USB printer, Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) users should open the Printer Setup Utility and click on the Add icon at the top of the Printer List window. A new window will open. In that window, click the Default Browser icon at the top left. Highlight your printer in the section below. Use the "Print Using" pop-up menu near the bottom of the window to select the correct PPD for your printer and click Add.

HT4356 How to use Canon Selphy Photo Printer (CP900) to print from iPad 3?

How to use Canon Selphy Photo Printer (CP900) to print from iPad 3? I would like to print the photos in my ipad on my Canon Selphy Photo Printer (CP900) which has wifi...

hi
ideally if you want to print from the ipad you should have an airprint enabled printer:

however, there are workarounds, you can download a decent third party app to print such as print n share, printcentral or printdirect

Reg: How could I an instal a printer to my Adobe PhotoshopCS6 for Windows

I have a question. How could I an instal a printer to my Adobe PhotoshopCS6 for Windows?.
And also after the installation how could I scan anything thru the printer?
I"d appreciate any answer.
MG

The printer will not scan unless it is also a scanner; normally described as an all-in-one: printer/scanner/fax. If that is what you have then the driver is what you need.
For CS6, most scanners and printers are still 32bit and will not work with Ps x64...try in Ps x32.

How to use AE for wireless printing with Ethernet Printer?

Hi all,
I have been using my AE connected to a printer via USB for printing but have now replaced my printer with another model that only has Ethernet connections.
Can someone please explain how to set up the AE so that I can print? I can get so far but seem to be doing something wrong somewhere. Here's my setup:
Mix of Macs and PC's using Airport Time Capsule for wireless network. Currently setup as 'Create a Wireless Network'
1 x b/g Airport Express - now with Ethernet connection between AE and Printer. Currently connected as 'Join a Wireless Network'
Via 'Add Printer' I have selected 'Internet Printing Protocol - IPP' as the Protocol and added the IP address of the Airport Express '10.0.1.10' as the Address. This seems to connect OK but all I get is printer paused.
Any idea where I am going wrong please?
Many thanks, Mike

Sorry you are having difficulties.
Suggest that you first get the printer working with your AirPort Extreme in case the configuration on the Express may not be quite right.
I'm not familiar with the Epson products, but I do use an HP ethernet all-in-one device.
The basic "must do's" on the device include entering the printers MAC address and assigning a fixed IP address that the printer will always will receive using a DHCP Reservation on the AirPort Extreme. My all-in-one gets 10.0.1.25 It sounds like you may have done this.
After installing the printer software from the disc, you go into the Mac's System Preferencesj > Print and Fax and click the small + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list. The HP printer appeared immediately as an available printer, so click it to highlight it and then click Add at the lower right. It's been flawless since it was installed about 3 months ago.
You'll need to Add the device for each Mac computer on the network. I don't use PC's but imagine that Add Printer or Add New Device would be the way to go here.
Sometimes it helps to call the manufacturer and endure the hold for 15-20 minutes waiting for the manufacturer's tech support people.

How to use Leopard Install disk as bootup disk?

I have not tried this, but exactly how is the original Leopard Install disk used as a bootup disk? Is there a way to exactly duplicate this disk in case the original becomes unusable?
Thanks

To duplicate the disc you will need a dual-layer DVD-R and a Mac with a DL burner (check System Profile to assure you have a compatible optical drive.)
Duplicate a CD or DVD
1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.
It is also possible to create a bootable partition on an external drive that functions exactly as the DVD. You need an external drive partitioned using the GUID partition scheme and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) You would then clone the DVD to the partition on the external drive as follows:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the external volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the external volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive and wait for it to mount on the Desktop.
7. Select the OS X Installer DVD from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
8. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.

How can I re-install my printer software without the CD? (I lost it)

I have a Canon MG3100 series printer. I have moved 2x in the last year, so I have misplaced the installation software. The printer software is installed on my computer, but I did it wrong, where I have to use a USB cable, but I want to do wireless. I read the forum that said I need to uninstall the software and then reinstall it with the CD, choosing the wireless option, but I can't find my CD! Is there any way to fix this problem?? I don't use a desk for my computer, so using a USB is quite aggravating. Please help!

How to use iTunes installed in PC as video converter

I just got new ipad & understood that video format other than .mov & .mp4 will not play in Ipads. Somewhere I read that the iTunes software installed in my windows PC can do the conversion job from avi to mp4 format, so that after that it can be synced from PC to Ipad through iTunes.
Based on above suggestion, I tried to import the avi file into my iTunes library of PC from PC D-Drive. But it doesn't happen and I didn't get any errro too.
It just looks blank... Need your support to conver the avi files to mp4 using itunes and appreciate your help.

In I tunes, connect the pad, and pull up the movies tab. Move whatever video you want into that library, either by dragging, or include the library in I tunes.
Then at the top of I tunes, click on advanced tab. One of the choices is 'create I pad version'. I think you need to have the specific file checked. When I did this it took several of my old avi snippets, and created new files that synced and played on the pad.
This will not deal will all files, and you may need a different converter. I am am Mac guy, so my converter won't work for you, but there are plenty of pc based converters lying around.
To get the video to show up in iTunes, try the advanced tab, then sync.

How to use Iterator correctly to print out object attributes from Vector ?

Dear Java People,
I have no compilation errors but am not getting output.
I created a CD class and a Vector to hold all the CDs.
I think perhaps I am using the Iterator incorrectly in the
toSting() method. Below is the driver and CD class
Thank you in advance
Norman
import java.util.*;
public class TryCD
   public static void main(String[] args)
     Vector cdVector = new Vector();
     CD cd_1 = new CD("Heavy Rapper", "Joe", true);
     CD cd_2 = new CD("Country Music", "Sam", true);
     CD cd_3 = new CD("Punk Music", "Mary", true);
     cdVector.add(cd_1);
     cdVector.add(cd_2);
     cdVector.add(cd_3);
     Iterator i = cdVector.iterator();
     while(i.hasNext())
       i.next().toString();
public class CD
   private String item;
   private boolean borrowed = false;
   private String borrower = "";
   private int totalNumberOfItems;
   private int totalNumberOfItemsBorrowed;
   public CD(String item,String borrower, boolean borrowed)
     this.item = item;
     this.borrower = borrower;
     this.borrowed = borrowed;
   public String getItem()
     return item;
   public String getBorrower()
     return borrower;
   public boolean getBorrowed()
     return borrowed;
   public String toString()
      return getItem() + getBorrower();
}

Dear InTrueT,
The problem with trying to use
System.out.println()is that it returns void and
toString() requires a String be returned
the error messaage says:
"CD.java": Error #: 354 : incompatible types; found:
void, required: java.lang.String at line 35
your advice is appreciated
NormanYou seem to have misunderstood. toString(), as you say, returns a String. System.out.println(), by a wonderful coincidence of design, accepts a String as a parameter. My suggestion was that you pass the output of one as the input to the other, thus displaying your String on the screen, as I had understood this to be your desire.

How do I install a printer?

yes I know it sounds like an idiotic question; please bear with me. I have a relatively modern (<1 year old) business colour laserjet (Kyocera Mita Ecosys FS-C5025N) which is connected to my home network via wired ethernet. My MBP is also connected to my network via wired ethernet. My problem is that having once installed my printer (and had it working) I had to turn the printer off to clear a job and now my MBP won't communicate with it.
When I turned it off and on again, the DHCP on my network gave my printer a new address (192.168.1.5 instead of 192.168.1.19). So I'm guessing that OS X has 'lost' it in some way. My solution was to go into System Preferences, Print and Fax, and delete the printer, with the expectation of being able to reinstall it. however, the problem is that when I click '+' in Print and Fax to add a printer, my K-M printer is nowhere to be found (when I installed it the first time, OS X found the printer automatically and I just selected it).
So how can I find/install this printer again? When I click the + in Print & Fax now I am presented with 4 options, default, Fax, IP and Windows. If I select IP and put in 192.168.1.5 under 'Address' (using all other default options, protocol = Line printer Daemon LPD, etc) it finds the printer. However, once installed, when I check the printer out, I see a yellow 'attention triangle' with the message 'this printer was not installed properly'.
I thought that I would try downloading the driver from the Kyocera Mita site. I've done this and installed the printer this way ... it all ran correctly but when I go back into Print & Fax - no printer is to be found? Is there a secret directory somewhere into which I must go and delete something rogue that's gumming up my system?
Any ideas, you gurus out there? Solved Stars await! Please.

Thanks Pahu, much appreciate the input. I'm working through this now and have the following: Apologies for War & Peace - I just wanted to be precise...
Looking up Bonjour I see that it's a 'IP protocol to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers'. When I set up the printer the first time, I do recall OS X finding it and the word Bonjour was there (I just didn't know what it meant). So I'm guessing that the printer must have had the right responder settings for it to work. It's just this time round it's not finding it. Nothing has changed on the printer end (apart from switch-off, switch-on). Hence, as I've come from 20+ years in Windows, I know that sometimes you have to delete registry entries to clear a problem before reinstalling a device, I wondered if there was a similar Apple procedure?
Looking at the manual, I see that the printer is PCL6 and Postscript3 compatible with auto emulation sensing. So I've set up the first test to be as an IP printer, LPD, inputting the address 192.168.1.5 in the Address field, and using the generic PCL driver as you suggest. When I click Add, I don't see any options but I guess that's because of the generic driver. The printer now appears in my Print & Fax box, but when I double click it I see a new box which says that the printer software was installed incorrectly, please re-install. Despite this, I can print to it (I tested from within Word). But I have no advanced options.
I would like to set up a second test using the Kyocera printer driver (using the generic PCL driver doesn't give me any printer options). I have downloaded this one here http://usa.kyoceramita.com/americas/jsp/Kyocera/download_center.jsp?pid=16744&pc at=10563&rcid=10009&rscid=10007#bottom, selecting the 'Kyocera Mita OSX 10.4 & 10.5 installer v 1.0' and the 'Kyocera Mita OSX 10.6 Permissions Fix' as you suggest in your reply. The former download a .mpkg.zip file which I extracted (53 items) using zipeg. When I ran the file it said that it was an installer for the printer, and completed successfully. When I checked in Print & Fax, clicked the +, there was no KM-printer installed (under default). This is consistent with the blurb about the permissions fix, which should fix this I guess?
So I then downloaded and unzipped the Permissions Fix, which put a folder (containing a file called Kyocera OS X 10.6 solution.command) on my desktop. When I try to run this I receive the message 'this file could not be executed because you do not have the appropriate access privileges'. I'm the only user on my MBP with full privilege? When I checked through Finder, Get Info I have Read & Write access for this file.
There is a PDF which I've found to install this file. It says
Follow the Installation Instructions below to install the MAC 10.6 PPD Patch. The Patch will allow a new Kyocera Printer to be added.
Subject: 10.6 PPD File Patch Installation Instructions
On KMAconnect Download and run the OSX 10.4 & 10.5 Installer. (DONE)
Download the OSX10.6 permissionfix.zip file to your Mac running OSX 10.6.(DONE)
Double click the zip file to extract the contents to the desktop folder. (DONE)
Double click the file called Kyocera OS X 10.6 solution. A Terminal window will open. (NO IT DOESN'T, I GET THE ERROR MESSAGE ABOVE)
Key in the password for the (Root) Administrator when prompted for the changes to take affect. (CAN'T DO THIS DUE TO ERROR MESSAGE ABOVE...)
Note: When keying in the Administrator Password, the Terminal window will keep the Password Masked so it will not display any change in the window when the characters are being input. If there is no password assigned, one must be created before running the OSX10.6 solution file.
You can now add a Kyocera Printer in the normal manner.
Any thoughts on how I can run this file?
I don't know if it matters but the PDF says the file in the Permissions Fix is called Kyocera OS X 10.6 solution but it's actually called Kyocera OS X 10.6 solution.command ...?

How to use Linux Print queue in client_text_io.fopen to print from Windows

We have a forms application deploed on LINUX (Oracle application server 10g).
I have to print a file from local windows PC to a linux Print Queue from forms
I have the following code
PROCEDURE file_to_printer (i_filename_output IN VARCHAR2
,i_network_printer IN VARCHAR2) IS
l_line VARCHAR2(2000);
l_fileid_output client_text_io.file_type;
l_fileid_print client_text_io.file_type;
BEGIN
l_fileid_output := client_text_io.fopen (i_filename_output,'R');
l_fileid_print := client_text_io.fopen (i_network_printer,'W');
WHILE 1 = 1 LOOP
client_text_io.get_line (l_fileid_output, l_line);
client_text_io.put_line (l_fileid_print, l_line);
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
client_text_io.fclose (l_fileid_output);
client_text_io.fclose (l_fileid_print);
END file_to_printer;
Everything works fine if I use a windows printer like \\machine\printer.
I want to use a Linux printer and specified the print queue as
\\machine\print_queue_name. It's not working
and I get error ORA-302000 on the following line
l_fileid_print := client_text_io.fopen (i_network_printer,'W');
and if I give only the queue name no error but it's not printing.
Could you please tell me how to use a Linux/Unix print queue in this situation

the simplest way is to edit the interface file (look in /etc/lp/interfaces for existing printers). Each script is
run per print job where stdin has your print data, and stdout is going to your print device. You can just
send the output to a file instead (assuming you can create a file in the windows directory from the solaris
box). If it's a network share, you could use smbclient.
