Help needed with printer settings for wired ethernet connection

I'm hoping someone can help me with a network printing issue. I have a large format color laser printer (Tektronix Phaser) and since moving to OS 10.6 I can't figure out how to configure the printer so that the system sees it. I have a simple wired ethernet network with a couple of Macs and a couple of printers. All devices are connected via a switch. When using earlier OSs I was able to connect to the Phaser using Ethertalk. Obviously this is no longer supported and I can't figure out how to set the printer so the OS can see it. I have lots of options which can be turned on or off and in some cases set up in other ways: Ethertalk, IPX, Netware, TCP/IP, DNS, LPR, HTTP and remote internet printing, I've tried messing with these but the result is always the same--system doesn't see the printer. Currently Ethertalk is on, IPX and Netware are off, TCP/IP is on, DNS and LPR are on, as are AppSocket, HTTP, FTP and remote internet printing. I can change the IP address but no matter what address I've tried I cannot ping the printer. (I'm using a Gutenprint driver for this printer.)
I don't really know enough about all this to get anywhere and I haven't been able to find help anywhere even from tech friends. Xerox won't help me and neither will Apple. Any help would be appreciated. I can supply more detail on specifics where necessary. Thanks, Bob

Old Phaser models may becoming more and more difficult to use, but you can give this a try.
1. Configure the printer via front panel to use TCP/IP and enable DHCP if it's supported. If not then you will need to configure an IP address for the printer together with your local network's mask, and gateway IP address. Except for the first the others will be provided by opening Network preferences to see what those settings are. The printer's IP address needs to be set somewhere within the range of IP addresses your router provides locally.
2. You need the PPD file required for your printer. If you have the Phaser driver installer you can use it to install the PPD or you can extract the specific PPD from the installer package. This part is tricky because I don't know where you may find the driver now if you don't have the installer. The older installers can be accessed through the Finder by selecting the package then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. You can then rummage through the package to search for the PPD for your printer. Then navigate to the /Library/Printers/PPD/Contents/Resources/ folder and drop the PPD file inside.
3. Open Print & Fax preferences and click on Add [+] to add a new printer. Click on the IP icon in the toolbar. Select Line Printer Daemon - LPD from the Protocol drop down menu. Input the IP address you assigned the printer in the Address field. You can file in the optional fields that follow. Then from the Print Using drop down menu locate the listing for your printer and select it.

  • Help with print settings for Panoramas

    Hi,
    I use an Epson 2880 and I am trying to figure out the print settings for doing an 11 x 34in panorama print on 13" roll paper from Aperture 3.0.3. I finally got it to do one print properly, but the setup was totally counter intuitive and I can't reproduce it. I tried using "Custom" Paper size and setting it to 13" x 36", then using the landscape mode and setting the Image Size to 11 x 34". Any way I did this ended up with the image printing the wrong way on the paper. So I went back and picked "Roll" paper. This leaves only one field to fill in, which I presume is the paper width (it really didn't make this obvious in the dialogue.). Then I set the mode to Portrait, and made sure that the settings for the Image size were 11 x 34. It then printed fine. But when I went back to print another file, even though I had saved the settings, now I am presented with only one box for specifying the Image Size and there is no way to get it right again. HELP! The settings for this kind of print in Photoshop is also counterintuitive, but when you get it set right, and you know the settings, no problem reproducing it. I think maybe there is a bug in AP3 with regard to this sort of setup.

    Hey BaByPaW1990,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    You can get your APN settings from your network service provider, also make sure you have a BlackBerry data plan.  
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Help Needed with HTML code for Image Positioning

    Hi All,
    Need a little help with some code for positioning images.
    I initially used the following:
    This is fine, but the border automatically puts a black border around the photo - how do I change it to white? Is there a way to set margins too, to prevent the text butting up against the photo?
    I also used the following code with success:
    <style type="text/css"
    img
    float:right;
    border:2px solid white;
    margin: 0px 0px 15px 20px
    </style>
    This code works, however the problem with it is it is not individual to just one photo - it moved all my photos and on that page, I wanted one photo floated to left and another to the right.
    If I use this code, how can I make it photo specific, so that it only affects the placement, margins and borders of one photo?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    CSS question, not iWeb question. Regardless, use inline CSS styling for the image. You can also wrap the image in its own tag and declare an id or simply declare an id for the img tag, then set the style for the id_name:
    <style type="text/css"
    img#id_name
    float:right;
    border:2px solid white;
    margin: 0px 0px 15px 20px
    </style>
    If you want to control the style of more than one image on a page but not all then use a class instead of an id.
    the border automatically puts a black border around the photo - how do I change it to white? Is there a way to set margins too, to prevent the text butting up against the photo?
    I believe you have discovered a solution for this according to your CSS code. You have set the border to white by looking at the code and adjusting it appropriately. Your margin is declared in the CSS also, adjust the pixels appropriately.
    Read up some more on CSS to educate yourself further. I suggest w3schools.com or a CSS forum instead of the iWeb forum if you have CSS questions. It's kind of like if you drive your auto to the supermarket so you decide to go to the supermarket and ask everyone in the produce section to help when you have car problems. All the supermarket does is provide a place to park your auto. If you have car problems then ask a mechanic. iWeb (and most of its users) doesn't specialize in code, it simply provides an area for you to place it. Granted you might get lucky and find a mechanic in the produce section of the supermarket, but you're more likely to find a specialist at an auto swap meet (or CSS coding forum)!

  • Access Connection​s fails to recognize DNS server for wired Ethernet connection​s

    I'm running Windows 7 on a Thinkpad T410i.  I ran the Lenovo update yesterday which updated Access Connections from 6.01 to 6.21.  I then could not make any network connections to the Internet.  I used Windows System Restore to back out the changes made by the Lenovo updater. 
    Since then, I am able to connect to the Internet using the wireless adapter, but the wired LAN connection fails to connect to the Internet because it doesn't recognize the DNS servers  The wired LAN adapter is the Intel 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection.  The IP v4 configuration settings haven't changed (use DHCP, obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically), but it can't seem to connect to the DNS servers. 
    The message from Windows Network Diagnostics is:
    Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding. 
    The symptoms appear the same as in this problem in the Lenovo support library, but that was occuring with Access Connections 2.60, a much earlier version of the software:
    Network connection is not working if Access Connection is used to set DNS information - ThinkPad General
    Symptom
    When a wired (Ethernet or Token Ring), network profile is created with Access Connections v2.60, the user may be unable to connect to a LAN or the Internet.
    Affected configurations
    Any model ThinkPad system using Access Connections v2.60
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!

    Yes, some Lenovo employees do read and post to this forum.  Mark is quite active, and several others post as well.  In addition, there are lurkers who just read without making public comments although sometimes they ask the mod team to either gather more information or pass along advice.

  • I have lost the correct proxy settings for the ethernet connection using Safari.  How do I get back to the original ethernet proxy settings?

    I changed the ethernet proxy settings for Safari on my Mac Pro, when I was in a particular place that required extra security.  Now I cannot get the ethernet connection to work when back home.  The wireless connection works fine.  What are the original ethernet proxy settings.  How do I make the changes?
    Thanks

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click Change Settings next to Proxies. Select Automatically from the Configure pop up menu.
    You may also have to select the Proxies tab. If any of the boxes are selected, deselect then click OK.

  • Help needed with Internet settings

    Hi
    I recently bought an ipad 2 wifi with iOS 6.
    The problem is I can't download apps (error: app can't be downloaded at this time), maps don't load, safari doesn't open a lot of sites (error: can't connect to server) and some sites load without pictures.
    YouTube, though, works just fine.
    These are the only things I've tried out so far.
    I have a 2mbps mtnl connection. With a pc it's pretty fast. Utorrent consistently gives speeds of 200kbps and above. Why is it so slow with an ipad? Are there any router or network settings that I need to change? Where is this option in an ipad anyway?
    The ipad seems to be working fine on an Airtel connection so it's definitely a networking problem. Can anyone help? I contacted my ISP but they are clueless.
    My router is d-link 2750u. ISP is Mtnl Delhi

    I just did an internet speed test. the connection speed is 2mbps over wifi.
    To be clear, I have no problems connectin to wifi. The problem is I'm not able to access some (esp apple) services and websites with this ISP. I'm sure it's some router or network connection setting that needs to be changed. But which one?

  • Help needed with Printer Friendly template.

    Hi
    I know there loads of posts on here about "Printer Friendly" Templates which are far from being printer friendly. My problem is that most of my reports are very wide and therefore if you print it you loss the right hand side of the report even if you change the page layout.
    Any Ideas or working examples of getting my reports onto a page without it been cut off?

    Can anybody help me?

  • HT5648 OS10.6.8 Firefox 24.0  The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics.  However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome.  I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript.  Help me, please.

    OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0 
    The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\.  However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome.  I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript.  Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version.   Help me, please.

    The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
    If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
    Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
    Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
    I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly.

  • Help needed with itunes

    help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

    (Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
    If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

  • Help Needed on Printing

    Hello im a very new junior sd consultant and I have gotten my first issue ticket which I need to try and resolve. Basically, the client has an issue when they want to print the 1.Sales Return document and its 2.Delivery document. they have to keep manually choosing the printer. How can I configure the printer settings for the returns document and its delivery so that for each new sales return document the default printer is already chosen and all they have to do is press enter for example and it prints.
    The current scenerio is that for example, sales return document 000000001. In va02 on the initial screen if you go to sales document, then issue output to. I get this popup when I do those steps "No output has been selected for printing". The client then has to go and assign the printer manually for each document which takes up too much time. How can the printer be assigned by default to that document type?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Muhammad,
    Please maintain the condition records to that output condition types in VV11 transaction for sales orders and VV21 for delivery document output.
    In condition record itself you can maintain the printer.
    If you maintain the data in the condition record output will come automatically while creating order or while creating delivery.
    I hope it will help you,
    Regards,
    Murali.
