Help with Pageworks 20N Printer with OSX 10.5.8

I have an old but workhorse 12X18 black and white laser printer I would like to use. I currently use Airport for my wireless network but in the past used ethernet to hook up my Minolta 20N thru a Linksys hub.
I'm clueless and could use some help. Would anyone be willing to help?

Thanks for the warm welcome.
I know I am just having a brain freeze here since this should be rather painless, but which HP driver, and then what do I do to get my computer and printer to work together?
Thanks for taking time out of your day to help me.

How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

HELP INSTALLING HP 3110 PRINTER WITH 2.0 COMPOSITE USB TO WINDOWS 8 NOTEBOOK WITH USB 3.0

Need help installing HP PhotoSmart 3110 All in One Printer with USB 2.0 composite. Errors with message can't work properly with USB 3.0 which is on my new Windows 8 notebook. Read forum support doc for installing device on Windows 8 and ran Printer Install Wizard. Goes thru extracting and errors "the system can't find the file specified".
HELP please. Have deadline on project.
Thank you!

Your V5-122p-0408 comes with only 1 USB 3 port, did you try both?
If the printer worked fine on another computer then the problem most likely in on the V5.
Are you running 8 or 8.1?

Help: Resizing images for Printing with CS3

Hello All,
Thus far, I've done most of my printing with my Epson 3800 on paper below 8.5 x 11 which was no problem. Now I'd like to do some larger stuff like 13 x 19 and 17 x 25. Image size is 3504 x 2336 psd. @ 360ppi. (workflow is RAW to Adobe RGB 16-bit 8.2MP) I'd like to maintain the 360ppi resolution, but resize to say 12 x 18 or larger and then apply final sharpening.
My confusion is with the up-sizing steps themselves. I've heard it's best to increase image x% over target image size via Bicubic(?) and then to reduce x% to target size using Bicubic sharpener(?) or something to that effect. Can someone please walk me through the process so I can get the hang of it? Thank you!
Mike

Sounds like one of those tales from an older technology.
Just use the resampling method as recommended in the Image size dialog

Anybody has any problems with installing and printing with canon lbp6650dn?

hi,
i bought a new i-sensys lbp6650dn and i am trying to make it work with my macbook 10.5.8. the installation cd that comes with it does not work with mac. i downloaded the latest drivers from canon's website, and could add the printer to my list.
computer's connected to the printer with USB. both the computer and the printer show no error, but whenever i try to print a document it starts printing jumbld letters and numbers that look like programme codes. moreover, it prints around 20 pages for a 1-page document. does anybody know what the problem might be? i am not sure whether there is something wrong with the computer's settings or the printer's. it's the first time installing a printer is giving me such a hard time. any help would be much appreciated.
thanks!

Try reseating your memory. Sometimes this occurs when the RAM is not seated all the way in the slot.
You could also boot from your 1st install disk while holding down the D key. Then run the diagnostics on your MacBook.

Loaded 3.6.3 on Mac with 10.5.8 - no longer get printer recognition. Pinter is there with metwork and prints with Windows XPPro

using mac10.5.8, since loading 3.6.3 can no longer access printer. Even without ff running. Pinter is a network unit that works with Windows fine. Can't even reload printer driver.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== First time FF 3.6.3 loaded

It may tell me that you are seeing the "popular" complaint about the intermittent MM behavior. Do google searches for "skipping magic mouse" or similar wording and you will get lots of hits.
One suggestion which some have claimed works is to stick a little ball of aluminum foil between the batteries and their contacts. The theory behind this is that not all batteries are created equal in the sense that the positive contact is slightly higher in some makes and not the others and that the ones with a shorter contact actually break contact due to the battery moving slightly in its compartment. So the al foil is to take up the gap.
I personally cannot say this theory is valid one way or another. I use rechargeable Sanyo Eneloops and they seem ok.

Cp1700 - Any problems with switching existing printer with stored printer?

I am having problems reading the LCD panel for my cp1700 (not all the text shows - common problem). I have another cp1700 that I have had stored for about 5 years (saving for parts. I think this "stored" printer squeaked when printing). I considered switching the LCD panels but it looks as if this is a complicated procedure. So I am wondering if I will encounter any problems with switching the printers? I will be putting in new ink cartridges but wondering if the printheads will cause a problem after being stored for so long?

This don't completely resolve your concerns, but I've had no trouble printing from OS X 10.7 to an Epson Artisan 810 connected to a Mac running OS X 10.6.8. I may even have been able to print to it wirelessly, but I can't remember. Apple issued an update to the Epson printer drivers fairly recently, which one would hope would have addressed any issues. In any case, I'd make a bootable clone of your Mac before you upgrade. If things aren't as you hope, then you can restore the clone to your main disk drive and be back with OS X 10.6.

Bill of lading via printer with trays

Dear gurus,
We print our bill of lading with a laser printer with trays. in tray three there are the predifined papers for the bill of lading. that is 4 papers in different colors which are exactly the same. If I do not have to many items on my bill of lading it is printed perfectly and by saying I want 4 print outs we have 4 duplicates on different coloured paper. However, some times the cmr has too many items and it will fill two pages. Then the first two coloured papers are one crm. What I need is to find a way that I can program that if the bill of lading will be more then 1 page, he will print the first page 4 times and then the second bill of lading page , also 4 times so in the end I will have 4 coloured duplicates of every bill of lading page. On this moment I do not have any clew....any advice is welcome.......

Hi,
Can you be more specific on what you need on BOL.
BOL number is a manually entered number on the delivery and shipment documents. No configuration needed.
Additionally BOL can be used as tracking number from the small package carrier. You need to set-up the small package carrier in SAP and using the 3rd party software.
Once the data is provided, next step is printing BOL. This can be done by setting-up the output determination and then using the appropriate SAPScript/webforms etc.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Dharmesh

Objects with effects applied to them print with a white background around them

I have an object with a dropshadow effect applied to it. When attempting to print my file, the object with the effect prints with a solid white box around it, blocking out a portion of the objects behind it. Why is this, and how do I fix it? I have tried to apply the "flatten transparency" option to the object with no result. The only way I have found to successfully print this is to import the whole file into Photoshop and print it as a raster file. I would like to preserve this file as vector...

I think the problem lies with your ripper/printer not understanding the higher level PostScript - convert raster effects to greyscale if at all possible - might help...

Printing with Lightroom versus Photoshop ...

I don't have a printer now, but I'm thinking to buy an Epson Stylus Pro ... and for my prospective print jobs, I have a question for printing gurus ...
Ceteris paribus ... are there any difference between photographs printed with Lightroom and printed with Photoshop from a .tiff file, 16 bit and in ProphotoRGB? If so, which programme do you prefer for your fine art works?
Thanks a lot.

I printed 288 patch target out of LR 4.4 and CS6. This is a rendered TIFF in sRGB. The average dE is tiny indicating at this point that data that is rendered doesn't go through the LR engine just to make a print (A raw most certainly must). The max dE is kind of high based I believe on not letting the Epson 3880 Luster targets dry. They were measured minutes out of the printer which isn't recommended <g>. I'll measure again tomorrow. I suspect that based on this quick test, and the fact that running rendered data in a defined color space though LR.'s processing color space makes no sense, that's probably what's not happening. When everything is set correctly, the difference between Photoshop and LR is insignificant.

How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)

How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)
To punch Binder Holes.
Should be easy ... Make a Custom page with a wider left margin ... easy to set up, but it does not actually work for any printer I am connected to.
Info so far:
Found an older post from 2002 ... "Make a custom page"
Mac Help has a limited, simple, incomplete answer: "Make a custom page"
Tried three printers. One Postscript Level 3 One Level 2 and one non postscript
Switching between page types in the drop down shows a change in the print preview, and the floating information shows the correct page size and larger left margin... but the "Custom Page Size" does not show a larger left margin, in the preview, no mater how it is set.
There also appear to be a relation ship between the radio Buttons for scale and the margin settings.
Test prints have simply cut off the left side of the document, and scaled the document from the right side in and the top down.
Printing a PDF from Preview
MacBook Pro
OSX 10.5.6
Thanks
Peter

Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
Th only "work around" solution is to ...
Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
Thanks allfor the comments and help ...

Printing problems with Elements and iPhoto on OSX 10.5.7

I am having problems with printing photos on my printer (Canon iP4000) since getting the new iMac with OSX (10.5.7) and using Photoshop Elements 6 and iPhoto. The Canon printer driver (and all my other data) were copied to my Mac by the techs at the Apple store from which I purchased the iMac. (I previously had a Mac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 Panther.)
Photos that used to come out crystal clear and brilliant on the printer from the G4, now are faint with kind of a white veil. When I try to print in Elements, I get a message that says "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I really have no idea what that means. Anybody?
Text printing comes out fine, both from word processing documents and web pages. I am using the latest printer driver (4.8.3) for the iP4000 (probably 4 years old or so), and there are no new driver downloads available for it. I trashed the Canon software/drivers and reinstalled, to no avail.
Canon Support has been helpful and have made many suggestions, but none has worked. I tried printing with Canon's EasyPhotoPrint app, and the photos print fine. So the problem appears to be a compatibility of the printer with Elements 6 and iPhoto.
Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have an opinion if this means I need to get a new printer? If so, any suggestions on a good, moderately priced one for Leopard on the iMac that will definitely work with Elements 6 and iPhoto?

The v4.8.3 driver she has is the latest version Canon has supplied.
Given the driver is working okay from some other applications, there has to be something amiss with the colour management of iPhoto and PSE6.
For iPhoto, as a test I would suggest the Color Options > Color Correction is set to None to see how this impacts the printed image. Then I would try the BJ Standard and ColrSync settings to see how the output is affected.
During the Color Options trial, ensure the Quality & Media > Media Type is set to the appropriate paper type, such as Photo Paper and the Print Mode be set to Top Quality Photo. With regards to the Media Type setting, some of the paper stocks have a profile associated with them. If you use Photo paper but use the Plain setting, then you will get a washed out print.

Trouble with Booklet Printing in OSX 10.6

I recently ran an update for OSX 10.6 and ever since then, when I select the booklet print function, the print image does not rotate. In other words, the preview shows the document in a landscape format, but rotated to print as portrait. However, when I print it, the image is still in landscape but has not rotated, leaving a third of the image off of the page. (I have attached a pdf of what the output looks like.)
Has anyone had the same issue? Any help would be appreciated.
I use a OCE (Konica Minolta) copier with the latest print driver, however when I print with my VMware in Windows in Publisher, it prints my booklets correctly. I have the same problem using CS3 and CS5.

10.6.5 introduced a couple of printing issues that have mostly been solved. We have a couple of Konicas but they use either Fiery in the case of the 8000 and Creo in the case of the BizHub for RIPping.
One the Bizhub with the Creo rip we would get a similar error when printing directly from the driver, but printing to the hold queue and setting the printing properties from the RIP would correct it. Run through the exact same settings to the print queue and get an error.
If you are using InDesign's Print Booklet feature one potential workaround would be to create a pdf with VipRiser VipRiser « Onflapp's Blog
Acrobat probably won't have that printing issue. If it does you could potentially just drop the PDF into a hot folder (assuming you have a separate RIP on the Konica. Otherwise a less than elegant way to get around it for the time being would be to print from your windows VM.

How to share OSX Mac with printer with OS 9 Mac???

i have an airport with itunes wireless network with a powerbook G4 (10.4.6) and an ibook (9.2.2). the OSX computer is sharing a brother USB printer that is connected to a wireless print server (motorola, not airport).
the OSX prints perfectly (after three weeks of setup heartache...don't buy a motorola for a mac!!!). i have set up the printer to be shared in system preferences on the OSX computer (it is called 10.0.1.100).
i clicked on the network icon in the chooser in the OS 9 computer and connected it to the OSX computer. when i did, an icon magically showed up on the OS 9 desktop that is named "10.0.1.100".
i tried following the "Help" instructions on the OS 9 computer to set up printer sharing (turning on USB printer sharing, open its control panel, click on the network tab and add the printer). when i click the add button, nothing happens so i can't add the printer.
where do i go from here?

Two ways -
If you have a printer driver in Classic on OS X that is able to print, you can add the USB printer sharing Control Panel to Classic and turn it on to share the printer. You'd have to keep Classic running all the time, and there might be some conflict with OS X printing. ... OK, this one isn't a good option.
Second way. Go to Printer Setup and highlight the Brother and click Show Info. Write down the Queue Name. Go to Network Prefs and write down the OS X IP address, too.
On the OS 9 computer, find the Desktop Printer Utility and run it. Add a new LPD printer. Enter IP address, use an Apple LaserWriter PPD (or Color LaserWriter if the printer is color), enter the Queue Name where requested.
The concept is to send postscript to the OS X print queue, where it is translated and sent to the printer.
I've done this successfully several times, including one with a Brother HL2040 printer.
Good luck.

Printing pdf with Adobe 10 and Mac OSX

After downloading Adobe Reader 10.0.0 I cannot print pdf files on my Canon MP620 printer. Snow Leopard Mac OSX 10.6.6 is my operating system Error message comes up "pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err. number 13". Can anyone help please?

After dealing with this problem for a whole day, this finally solved the problem. Not sure if it will work for everyone or if I just got lucky. Either way...
I threw out all Acrobat preferences (8 and 9). I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9. Opened Acrobat Pro 8 and printed the files. I then re-installed Pro 9 and with both 8 and 9 open, I was able to print. Now Pro 9 works fine (without having 8 open) Not sure why this worked, since re-installing Acrobat Pro 9 alone didn't fix the problem.
Hopefully this might work for someone else too.
