Recommend good photo printer software (don't like iPhoto's)?

I don't like the way that the iPhoto 'print Photo/s' software works.
I used to use Canon Image browser, with that I could select, for example, three photos. place them all on one A4 sheet of paper, and scale each one individually to the size I wanted. ie have one large, the other two smaller. It cut down on a lot of waste paper. IPhoto will only let me put all the images at the same size, as far as I can work out.
Canon Image Browser is not Leopard compatible, boo-hoo. Does anyone have any recommendations for other (free) software I could use to achieve the same as my old? Or is it possible with iPhoto?
CJHEERS!

Canon has: Canon PowerShot ImageBrowser 6.1.1a which is Leopard compatible. I downloaded it just this morning.
Do you have a 3rd party editor that you like? I use Photoshop to do most of my printing. Photoshop Elements for Mac is an amazing editor, can do advanced editing, and does color management to give you optimal prints.
Others are Portraits and Prints, Acorn, Pixelmator. You can use them as the 3rd party editor in iPhoto safely but not ImageBrower as it's a browser and not strictly an editor. Go to iPhoto's General preferences and set the Edit Photo: to your editor of choice.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I need to play a DVD that was created on a microsoft machine on my Mac and need help finding the right converter software.

I have received a "Data DVD" that was made on a windows machine and need to play it on my mac but am having trouble finding the right player or converter.I would like a free application if possible. Thank You,JerryStephen:-)

I think I understand now. The DVD has an auto start player (exe) that steps through the video's, html, whatever. Your gonna need windows or you'll be forced to look at the individual pieces seperately. Html's you can open, idx files are subtitles, the video format is avi I'm guessing or maybe wma.
Try this first, get the VLC player from video_lan. It's a great tool to have in your toolbox. It should play the video files at least (including subtitles). VLC can play almost any format.

Finger print software

How do I find my finger print software to register my finger print. I can see the driver is installed successfully but cant find the software itself to load and scan my finger for my files.
Secondly, my wifi is on but only showing bluetooth connection, is it the same as any other wifi connection? can I connect to any wifi around with my bluetooth connection?
Any advice will be appreciated

Hi,
by default the Fingerprint can work with some applications, but if you plan to use the Fingerprint with other applications, then I would suggest to install Client Security Solution (CSS).
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73696
After you have installed also CSS, you need to enable CSS to work with FPR.
Here is a short introduction:
- start CSS
- on the left side click on "Fingerprint" and select "Manage" -> followi the on screen instructions and get the CSS configured with FPR
- after this is done open CSS again and go to "Password Manager"-> a new window will open and go toet Preferences->Set Preferences. A configuration window will open and make sure, that you enable it for all the apps that you can see there.
- once this is done open CSS again and go to Advanced->Manager Security policies->in this new window go through each option on the left side and make the appropriate changes to it.
For a detailed instructions and infomrations I would advice to read the CSS manual:

Let me know, if you have any specific questions.
In case this helps, you can mark this post as fixed .

You are technically way ahead of me, so I can't argue with what you did.
How about an even simpler WiFi network consisting of only the AirPort connected by an Ethernet cable to the printer? If the iPad still can't find the printer when connected to this network, then something is broken!
(Also try a different Ethernet cable.)

For my Mac mini with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1, what is a good greeting card software download with lots of templates and graphics?

Hi simon2010,
as far as I can see, I have resolved it...
Just so I didn't write over my functioning disk in the Mac mini, I took it out and put a spare one in. (Would have saved me going back to the Apple store to get it re-imaged if it did fail.)
I created a Mountain Lion installer on an 8GB USB stick, and first installed 10.8.4 (the latest at the current time) on my MacBook Pro... it worked fine, so I knew the installer stick had no problems at all (that's one thing to rule out of the list of potential causes).
With my spare hard disk in the Mac mini, I then went to try to install 10.8.4 on it, with my 16GB non-Apple RAM in it. It failed as usual in the way I expressed originally.
I then just swapped my 16GB RAM for the original Apple 4GB RAM (2x2GB sticks) which I put back in the machine, and I tried re-installing. No problem whatsoever - it installed perfectly.
It's the RAM! Even though my RAM works perfectly once installed, the Apple OS installer refuses to proceed if Apple RAM is not in. I put my 16GB RAM back in after installing the OS and all is fine.
I'm quite surprised Apple has done this.
Have you changed the RAM? Let me know if it's the same problem or you have some differences.
I assume it will install fine if I put the orignal HD back in, again if I have the original Apple RAM in of course.
PS. Also to note, the point where it failed in the installer with my 16GB RAM in, with the original Apple RAM in it took an incredibly long time towards the end of the bar moving across the screen; it says "5 minutes remaining" for at least 15, maybe 20 minutes, but gets past it eventually, then does a reboot to continue its install.

By reboot do you mean pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (after which the Apple logo should appear) ?
If you can't get the iPad to switch on then you won't be able to update its iOS version

I TRIED ALREADY EVERYTHING. I used patch for AMD processors (of course, did not work); I have Windows installer up to date; I disabled Internet Explorer 9.0 (I cannot uninstall and iether can I step back to IE 8.0 since notebook is brand new); There is no windows driver preinstalled for this printer and there is no similar driver working.
Driver cannot be installed and printer does not work.

C++ 2012 package (11.0.50727) & error message during installation printer software

Hello to you all,
I've recently bought a new laptop for my daughter (a HP Pavilion Touch Smart 11).
When I try to install the software needed for installation for the printer (HP J6410) I get the following error.
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local-\Temp\7zS46SD\Setup\de..
Now, I've already tried pretty much about everything. Even a full factory recovery, installing all of the needed updates, after that upgrading to windows 8.1, installing of the updates for that OS version too, and then trying to install the software again.
No succes, but the more I try, the more I'm convinced the problem might lay in the C++ 2012 redistributable package (version 11.0.50727). This is why.
I've got more laptops here at home. The one I have for my own is a HP 15 Notebook and has Windows 8.1 installed on it as well. Now here's the funny thing.
I managed to install the software on my own laptop (the HP 15, with an Intel processor) but no succes on the laptop for my daughter (the HP 11 TS, with an AMD processor).
When I looked at the installed C++ packages I noticed that the laptop for my daugther has the C++ 2012 package installed, and my own doesn't. So that's why I think the problem must lay there. Also because on this page (http://www.freewarefiles.com/Microsoft-Visual-C-2012-Redistributable-x64_program_78882.html)
it is said that it supports Windows 8 (which was pre-installed on the laptop for my daughter), but Windows 8.1 isn't mentioned.
I would be very thankfull if someone could help me resolving this issue.
(Note: I've tried to get help on the support forum of HP. More information on how I resolved the issue, in May 2014, on my own laptop, and how it is related to C++, can be found here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Windows-8-1-64-bit/m-p/3935396#M142540
More information on what I've done so far on the laptop of my daughter this month, September 2014, can be found here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/HP-OfficeJet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Windows-8-amp-Windows/m-p/4526450#M161696.
Please do read them. I've already tried so many things, and I can't get the issue resolved. Even though I'm pretty sure I must be so close to resolving this issue.)
I most thankfully await your response(s).
Update (30-9-2014, 23:14):
I've written above that I tried to re-install the printer. With the original CD, and also the software one can download on the HP site (OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe). Now, it seemed a good idea do uninstall the software.
Yep, you guess it .. I made my problem worse.
When I tried to uninstall it with the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS6A01\util\ccc\uninstall.exe I got the following message at reboot. It says you have to click OK to terminate the program, but it doesn't await your response. It's there,
for a glimpse of a moment, and disappears. It said (in Dutch):
'De instructie op .....xe01 verwijst naar geheugen op 0x00000000. Een lees- of schrijfbewerking op het geheugen is mislukt. read
Klik op OK als u het programma wilt beëindigen'.
It looks very similar to the error message here: http://fud.community.services.support.microsoft.com/Fud/FileDownloadHandler.ashx?fid=8d18c288-aeb4-41c0-983f-6798cfa178a0 that I found in this topic: http://answers.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_install/windows-81-afsluitfout-explorerexe-0xe06640b9/0c64290f-2e0b-47fc-a38a-adb9ceb5a5ac
Now, after this (that is: the uninstalling op the printer software) I returned to a system recovery point I made before the installation of the HP printer software. So that can not be the problem anymore. However, the error message kept returning.
So I'm pretty much convinced it must have something to do with explorer.exe, the msi-program, compatability-issues and the C++ packages. How to proceed now from here?
Should I uninstall the C++ 2012 package?If so, can I do that safely? Do I need a newer version of the C++ packages? Where can I find it?
Please, help me out? I most thankfully await your answer(s).

HELP! hp laserjet prints code and infinite blank pages!

hey guys,
ive got an early 2009 imac with 2.66ghz intel core 2 duo and 8gb ram,
im running latest mavericks and trying to use a hp laserjet 1320tn printer.
PROBLEM:
when i press print i get one page with a line of code and then infinite blank pages untill i hold cancel.
the line of code is :
%! PS-Adobe-3.0
%APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8
%APLProducer: (Version 10.9.2 (Build 13c6
here are some things that i have tried:
* checked toner - 46% full
* using the printer set up on a network (unshared)
* using the printer via usb
* reseting printing system ( many times )
* using latest drivers
* using older drivers
* using alternate drivers from HP
* using a generic post script printer driver
* repair / verify disk permisions ( many times )
* (last resort) Clean install of osx mavericks with fresh hp updates
im fresh out of ideas guys
the printer has been checked with a windows laptop and it printed perfectly and immediately so its an issue with my mac
i dont really want to buy another printer as a need a small network duplex monochrome laserjet, and this is perfect ( except i cant get it to work !)
also i checked with the manufacturer and apple and this printer is supposedly supported.
any help would be awesome!

OK here goes... (please take a deep breath)
I'm going to include TONS of details, hoping that something here might help you get to the answer.
If it's too much for your brain at whatever moment you get time to read all this, I do apologize.
Maybe come back later when they're sleeping and you're wide awake, if that is ever possible. I was a stay-at-home Dad for one precocious child for a few years, so I have a tiny idea what you're talking about, though our married friends with multiple (usually bickering) children always assured us that having just one child is nothing at all like having children. So bless you! My heart goes out to you!
Anyway, in Windows, there used to be a generic HPPCL driver and a generic PostScript driver for older printers. You could usually use a "generic" driver just fine, because very few programs (other than page layout and graphic design) used even 1/10th of the capabilities of the lowest-common-denominator oldest version PCL or PostScript command set. Something like that DOES exist in the Mavericks print installation dialogue.
But back to YOUR printer.
I tried installing my HP LaserJet 1320 on my iMac running Mavericks*.
Unlike Windows, you can't install a printer that OS X Mavericks cannot 'see', either directly connected or via a network 'share', or wirelessly.
My HP is connected via a network share. This should not significantly change what happens when you install your printer, but no guarantees.
This was my first attempt to install the HP, because my default printer is a Canon inkjet, connected wirelessly via WiFi.
So the LaserJet is in another room physically connected via USB to a MacBook, and marked 'Share this printer' on the MacBook system preferences. The MacBook has to be awake (not sleeping) and in this case, physically connected for my iMac to 'see' it.
So, when I clicked the + sign in the , System Preferences, Printers & Scanners to add a new printer,
I entered the description HP LaserJet 1320 into the search box the first time, then
1. Mavericks tried to "find" the HP LaserJet on the network, connected to the MacBook.
2. "This printer requires software that is not installed..."
3. "Downloading Printer Software Update..."
4. "Setting up "HP LaserJet 1320 Series @ KoMtB (MacBook's network name)
5. At that point the printer appeared in this Add window shown below:
Note the bottom Use: window below Location...
Note that the third choice is Generic PostScript Printer...
THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE AND THE ONLY TIME you can apparently select anything about which printer 'language' the Mac is going to use to talk to your printer:
In searching for about 10 minutes, I did not find any way to ever get BACK to this screen once the printer installation is complete, short of deleting and reinstalling the printer again, or adding the printer a second time with a different name.
I selected the choice highlighted, HP LaserJet 1320 series. I did a test print from TextEdit, and it worked perfectly the first time. I also tried it from Pages, and again, it worked perfectly, no spewing of PostScript initialization strings...
My suspicion is that maybe Generic PostScript Printer is getting selected by Mavericks somehow without ever informing the user.
Maybe 'Auto Select' does it. Don't know.
In any case, since you've already done a Printing System reset, you have nothing else (custom print job Presets) to lose by trying to reinstall it again.
I tried it, and It SHOULD also be possible to install the same printer multiple times, PROVIDED THAT you rename each one slightly during the Add process (HP-3200, HP-Auto Select, HP-Generic PostScript... ), so you can give several of them a try until you find one that actually works.
Now, here's how to find the 'generic' PCL printer driver...
Add the printer again, giving is a new name.
In Use: select "Select Software", then search for "HP LaserJet Series PCL 4/5"
HP LaserJet Series PCL 4/5 driver IS a 'generic' PCL driver, and SHOULD work for basic printing, provided that you DO NOT use the slash between 4/5 in the printer name use a dash - instead. When I tried it with a slash (probably because it was a network share, the printer did NOT install. When I tried again and used a dash, it worked fine.
The PCL 4/5 driver comes with a disclaimer as shown below:
Your HP is apparently from the year 2000? (Mine is from 2004.) It's so hard to give up old workhorse friends, especially when one toner costs almost a much as a new printer. The good news it that newer LaserJets are WAAAAAAY faster, and a toner for a new model still costs almost as much as a new printer...
After years of buying ONLY genuine HP toner, I finally purchased a generic toner cartridge online last year when I needed to print about 1500 pages. The high capacity generic refill cartridge cost 1/3 of price of a genuine HP 'standard capacity', and it works beautifully.
Of course this is time consuming, especially when you have active kiddos competing for your time, but the last alternative after Gutenprint is to purchase a new printer.
*DISCLAIMERS & FOOTNOTES:
I don't use OS X Mavericks much, so I'm really not the best person to ask. But I did answer this thread ages ago.
So, if none of this helps, please post your question again as a brand new message in the OS X Mavericks forum.
That way it will likely get far more 'views' than posting your question in an old thread already marked 'solved'.
From what I've seen in the Apple Support Communities, those most knowledgable tireless Saints of Mac with tens of thousands of reputation points who frequent these forums most every day usually look for the 'unanswered' and 'unsolved' questions first.
Mostly I use OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, because that's what shipped already installed on my iMac that I purchased from Apple as a refurb in Dec 2013. And because 10.8 seemed more 'sorted out' than Mavericks did last December.
When I got my iMac last December, I immediately installed OS X 10.9 Mavericks on an external drive that I could select at boot time because:
1) I could get Mavericks for free (wasn't sure if it would be a limited-time thing)
2) Purchase of a new or refurb Mac then included a free iWorks suite (Numbers, Pages, Keynote) latest versions (wasn't sure if it would be a limited-time thing)
3) I have Windows 7 installed under Parallels 9 on Mavericks to run basically one legacy Windows application I spent years learning and still use once or twice a year. Honestly, almost the only time I use Mavericks is to run Parallels 9 and Windows 7 and that legacy Windows app.
4) My original Mac is a mid-2007 MacBook is still running OS X 10.6.8. That's what the HP printer is connected to. I now use the MacBook for email or when I need to take a computer somewhere else. My MacBook is not capable of being upgraded to run Mavericks, and I wanted to at least know about the current version of OS X, even if I NEVER upgraded my main system.

Is there an HP Utility or app that removes all HP related printer drivers/printer software?

I've posted several times about not being able to download HP Solution Center for my new System 7 64 bit PC.
I had no responses...
Thr original disks won't launch and the HP download exe. for my Photosmart Premium C309 g-m extracts but does't lanch.
I believe there maybe existing HP software files from the original pc that were downloaded when my existing files were transfered to the new computer.
However there is no HP folder in existing applications and no HP files show up under uninstall.
Suggestions please!

Hello Michael,
Sorry to see you are unable to run the installation setup for your Photosmart Premium. I see you have tried to install by both the disk and the download.
I have looked into this issue for you and I have found a document I would suggest you look at to see if this can perhaps fix the installation issue for you. If the first link does not have a workable document for you I will post a secondary link that will help installation and uninstallation issues within Windows.

*Tip - You can also try installing the printer software from The HP Printer Install Wizard
I hope this helps you resolve your issue, good luck!
