Have OSX & OS 9. Can't change chooser in OS 9 for new printer.

Hi - Here I am hours later. Please help.
I have a new printer ip4200. I am running both OS X and OS 9. All is well with OS X and printer, but I can not get the ip4200 to show up on my OS 9 Chooser. It shows 4 items: AppleShare, FaxPrint, LaserWrier8 and SC777 (my last printer).
I am trying to print from Corel Print House which operates in OS 9 only and cannot.
Thanks much.

Hi, Diane. Ralph has the right idea. To print directly from a Classic application, you'd need to have installed an OS9-compatible driver for the ip4200, so you could select that driver in the Chooser. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be one.
http://software.canon-europe.com/Printers/BubbleJet_Printers/PIXMAiP420010232.asp
Indeed, the System Requirements for the printer include the following: "Macintosh computer with Mac OS X v10.2.1 or later..."
It appears that the printer probably requires some feature(s) not present in earlier versions of OS X (let alone OS 9) to function. If that's the case, there would be no point in Canon's writing an OS 9 driver for it.
If Corel Print House has the ability to save its documents in a file format that you can open with an OS X-native application (PDF format, for example), you could save them in that format, open them in such an application, and print them in OS X, using the printer's OS X driver. If CPH can't do that, you may have to find an OS X-native application to use instead of CPH. Or you may want to buy an older printer that does have an OS9 driver.

  • Can I change the default paper type for a printer?

    I have a client that prints off a lot of paperwork from an insurance company. They have barcodes that go pretty much to the end of the page that are nessesary for fileing. The default print setup cuts off the barcode and a few code numbers.
    If I manually change the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 8.5x11 borderless, it works! However I can't seem to get that setting to stick using profiles or the System Preferences.
    The profiles change everything but the paper size. And the System Preferences have the top level sizes (8.1x11) but not the more specific borderless versions of it.
    Any ideas?

    Taking Firefox (or even iTunes) as example, click File>Page Setup. In the resulting window, select the paper size setting and then in Settings, choose Save as Default. In Safari it's a bit different, but there too you get an option to "save current settings as preset", whereby you can name that setting, save it and select it, to be used the next time you print.

But it already got deleted from my brothers account

    Ip address really cannot become corrupt.. let me suggest you go into the setup and change the ip lease renewal time to as short as possible.
    You can actually set it to minutes.. so use say 5min.
    I would also change the DHCP range as well as that will then force all clients to renew to different IP.. and whatever is on the "corrupt IP" will be left behind.
    No factory reset is required..

    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:

    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $99
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

    I have this same issue and I have tried doing as you suggested but it won't let me do that withought shutting off FIND MY IPHONE- but I can't turn it off without entering my old password for an old apple id. ....so thoughts?
    You're saying this is happening on a Mac??  Find My iPhone is a feature of iOS devices, not Macs.  If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on an iOS device, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless

    I have an ipod, they said ipod touch 3 8gb, they said... Now i can't do anything with this because too many apps require IOS >4.2.1
    So i have a question: Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless.
    Thanks for reading

    Wow! Give us a chance!
    I live in the UK (about five minutes drive from the Olympic cycle race route. Didn't you notice me waving to the cameras? ). Not far from you , but far enough away that I might be doing something else, even if the cycle race has finished. The same applies to everyone else too. I'm eight hours ahead of you, so if it's 9pm now, where you are, it's five in the morning where I am and most of us here will still be inspecting the inside of our eyelids!
    Now, about your problem.
    If your iPod is 8GB, then it is not a 3rd generation Touch - no matter who they are and no matter who said it was! If it has model number A1288 etched into the casing on the back, then that identifies the 2nd gen Touch. (Yes, there is a 4th gen Touch in 8Gb capacity, but still no 8GB 3rd gen - ever). The third generation is model No. A1318.
    Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless. I don't understand what that means, unless you mean "with the price difference". In which case, the answer is "no".
    Even more confusing is; Now i can't do anything with this because too many apps require IOS >4.2.1 because -
    a 2nd generation Touch (including the 8GB) can install iOS 4.2.1 But that's as high as it can go. So that's incorrect! 
    you can still use any App that doesn't require a higher iOS than you have. So still incorrect!
    you can still use it as a music player, so guess what, wrong again!
    ... to store your photos - you know what I'm going to say now, don't you?
    ... and play those videos!
    So wrong, wrong and wrong!

  • Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?

    Want to change the 'default' extension for PL/SQL source to '*.prc'
    When navigating 'File' / 'Save As', and selecting the 'File Type' list box,
    The default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File is '*.pls'.
    Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?
    I have followed , 'Tools', 'Preferences' , 'File Types' and added '.prc' as 'Sql Script' file type, because (PL/SQL Source) is not present in the list.

    You can certainly overwrite the 'Save As' extension as you are saving the file. I have added an ER for more control over this functionality.
