How can I get Mac to print wirelessly?

I have a g5 iMac and a g4 IMac that connect to the internet via a wireless Belkin router. I have two HP printers (a laserjet and an officejet) connected with an ethernet cable to the router.
The g4 machine quickly identified both printers as "Internet printers" so I added them and was able to print wirelessly to both printers.
The g5 machine is able to print wirelessly to the officejet, but does not "see" the laserjet when I attempt to add it. I have tried everything, including setting up the printer manually by entering its IP address, and I can add the printer this way but I can't print.
What the g5 sees is both printers under "Bonjour Shared" kind, but if I select these and add them, it is unable to print (I either get a message that says "connecting to printer", which can last for hours, or I get a message indicating "Job accepted" but still nothing prints).
Before I switched Internet providers, both Macs could print wirelessly to both printers (I recently switched from a DSL provider to a cable provider, and then back to my old DSL provider).

I am confused. Neither iMac of which you speak will run Mac OS X 6.4 Snow Leopard, but that is the OS you profile.
What versions of Mac OS X are these old Macs actually running? Do you think that folks who have these Macs would be a better crowd to ask for assistance than folks with architecturally different Macs? We here have Intel Macs. Most of us have Snow Leopard. You are asking for help with two old PPC Macs, neither if which can actually run Snow Leopard.
Just an idea.

1: Go into iTunes.

4: Press OK.
You should see it go into the album now.

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

How can I get Mac mail to open winmail.dat attachments on lion 10.7.3

How can I get Mac mail to open letter attachments winmail.dat?? (Lion 10.7.3) Any help appreciated...

Sorry peterskine,
it's true in part. There's more then one article on the subject "Recipients receive a winmail.dat attachment":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat- attachment-HA010153018.aspx?CTT=1
The odd thing is that my colleague and me use the same release mountain lion and we received the same email from someone on Outlook2007. He received the mail with the attachment, whilst I saw a "Winmail.dat". It already happened to me on snow-leopard, some month ago. Up til today I don't know what the difference between our machines is.
But it is interesting: the same OS, the same mail-clients (Apple Mail) and still different results.
Note: on my machine it used to work properly. It just suddenly happened that I started to receive winmail.dat files in stead of proper attachments.
When I have more time on hand, I cant try to find out why this happens.

How can I get it to print output of inputstream?

Please forgive me for running two similar thread but the other thread ahs strayed from primal concern of coding.
Some help with the code please???
I have set up an inputstream and outputstream to the "ftp process" of java.lang.Runtime I have sent the command "dir" to ftp.
But How can I get it to print all the files etc of the "dir" sent to ftp process?
Also I have just read that it is perhaps better to buffer the STREAMS.
How do I do this for outputsteam? I think I have some clue to do for inputstream with bufferedreader?
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
public class RuntimeFTP{
public static void main(String[] arg){
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = { "ftp.exe", "jaguar.wmin.ac.uk" };
Process process = null;
OutputStream os = null;
InputStream is = null;
String login = "w0109699";
String password = "11041976";
String dircommand = "dir";
byte[] barraylogin = login.getBytes();
byte[] barraypassword = password.getBytes();
byte[] barraydircommand = dircommand.getBytes();
try
process = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
process.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exit code is: " + process.exitValue() );
catch(IOException e)
System.err.println("IOException starting process!");
catch(InterruptedException e)
System.out.println("Interrupted waiting for process!");
try
os = process.getOutputStream();
os.write(barraylogin);
os.write(barraypassword);
os.write(barraydircommand);
catch(IOException io)
System.out.println("io exception write to outputstream");
try
is = process.getInputStream();
while (is.read() != -1)
How can I print the data to the user
i.e all the data obtained from the "dir" command sent to ftp?????????
catch(IOException io)
System.out.println("io exception read fron inputstream");

the above code does not work so I have abondaned it.
I want to integrate an ftp program into a program I am working on. I have scoured the net for reuse able code and come across a "t or Linlyn ftp program" which claims is easily integrate able into larger applications.
The problem is did does not seem to work and gives me errors. I would be grateful if someone could tell me why I am getting the error, here is the error:

I would also be grateful if someone could try out the program and tell me if it works for them, then I could determine if it is because ftp clients are being blocked by my server. The ftp program is very small, here is the url:

1) compile the code
2) fill in everywhere it requests "your-server" "username" and "password"

How can I get my network printer to print in color?

I have a Dell 3110cn color printer on my network. Since I did the Maverick update the printer will no longer print in color only b&w. It's using a generic printer driver. I had no problems before the update. It's a great workhorse printer. How can I get this connected properly?

Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
Bruce's instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
- delete any previously set up printers
- scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
- remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
- reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
- print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
- got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
- go to the sys pref > print scan
- add the HP 8000 printer
- click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
- click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
- finish (this page may freeze up. close the browser)
- go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
- go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). Check that the SSID is your network
- go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
- try printing something to your printer. It might take a little time the first print.

How can I get my Hp printer to download?

How can I get my HP F380 printer to download?

Ok, let's try this first...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.
Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X 10.5.x+++
    1.    To use the Reset Printing System feature in Mac OS X 10.5.x, follow these steps:
    2.    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    3.    Choose Print & Fax from the View menu.
    4.    Control-click on list of printers on the left side of the window, then choose "Reset printing system" from the contextual menu. If you don't see a list of printers, Control-click on the text "Click + to add a printer or fax" and select "Reset printing system..."       As an alternative, if you currently have one or more printers listed, you can Option-click the "-" (Remove printer) button.

Reboot.
Then try installing the driver again, I think with the printer plugged in is OK.

How can I get all the print on my screen to be larger?

How can I get all of the print on my screen to be larger?

Thank you for helping me with the size of the print on my screen. The suggestion you made works well with the email font. I really wanted all the print on my computer to be larger. (Some of the print seems to be way too small.) Someone suggested I change the resolution settings. I did this, and changed it to 1024 X 640. That changed the size of the font on the toolbar at the top of the page, and that is what I really wanted, as well as all the other print on my screen. Nonetheless, I would like to thank you for your very helpful and prompt reply to my question.
Sincerely,

How can I get gridlines to print on my template that I created in Numbers?

I am trying to create a template in Numbers and I want the gridlines to print. The drop downs for x-axis and y-axis under Chart inspector are shaded gray and are not able to be clicked on. How can I get those gridlines to print?

You seem to be looking in the Chart Inspector for formatting options for the table. Use the Table Inspector, or the Format Bar for Table Cell Border format options.
I have circled the border format controls in the Format Bar in the attached screen shot:

I have an iPad 3 and when trying to print Pages documents from EpsoniPrint there is a border, how can I get it to print normal without sending it to my Mac?

I have both quickoffice and pages on my iPad, and when I try to print from either of those through EpsoniPrint they don't print "normal". And pages prints with a border around it. How can I adjust that or is there a better app for printing via wireless? I have an epson 510, so it's wireless capable but not AirPrint.

If you have a Mac I would recommend that your install Printopia. Here is a link to it:
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
With Printopia, any printer that you can connect to your Mac will appear on your iPad as long as they are on the same wi-fi network. Try Printopia to see if that border goes away. Good luck!

How can I get Mac Mini to accept bootable installers for Mountain Lion ? They work fine on MB-Pro

I've had a Mac Mini (late 2012) for the past week and need to do a complete reinstall to get rid of very mucked up Server.app settings that I can't get rid of even though I uninstalled Server.app and what I thought were all of its Library files. I need to get the Mac Mini back to pristine, factory default to start over. Then I'll be able to put Server.app into a VM so I can trash it if need be without mucking up the rest of my system.
I have both a bootable recovery partition on an external hard drive (My Book firewire) and a USB bootable installer with a fresh edition of Mountain Lion. I know the USB installer works just fine because I used it to do a clean install of my MacBook-Pro just last night. Went like a charm.
When I start up the Mac Mini with the option key held down, everything seems fine -- I see both the USB drive and the My Book's 2 volumes (1 for data, 1 for the Recovery partition). But when I select either the USB drive or the My Book Recovery partition as the start-up drive, I get a screen with a circle with a line across (the no-entry traffic sign), with no way to go back or forward. So the computer has to be rebooted.
Any suggestions as to how to get the Mac Mini to recognize bootable installers that MacBooks are able to see?

Late 2012 Mac mini uses a special Mountain Lion version that it's only compatible with this Mac and you can only get on Internet Recovery because it's not available in the App Store. If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, press Command, Option and R keys while your computer is starting

How can i get Mac to read a certain type of file?

i will cut to the chase
i have some files from a voice recorder on a WINDOWS pc
i stick a 512 mb flash drive in the windows pc's usb slot
now i got the files on the flash drive
i stick the flash drive into the Mac Minis Usb slot
it shows the files but cannot play them
How can i convert what is in the Flash drive to a Macintosh playable file
AND should i do it while the flash drive is in the Windows or the Mac mini computer
Side note: the software for the voice recorder is windows only
the website for the PC Recorder(sony) does not have Mac Software on it
so i want (hope / need) to go voice recorder->windows pc->Flash drive->Mac and then convert the file so Mac can read/ play it.
thanks in advance

CoffeehouseSchmuck,
The simplest way is to use Switch/Swift Sound (if their site is up) or acWAVE(commercial software with a 7-day trial) - in Windows to convert the DVF files to mp3 or some other Mac-friendly format.

How can i get mac app store back when i am on Mac OS X 10.6.8

it says it's missing or incomplete how do i get it back? because i kinda deleted it by accident

Did you delete by dragging it off of the Dock? If so, open the Applications folder and drag the App Store application bundle back onto the Dock.
Or if you deleted the App Store application bundle by going into your Applications folder and deleting it there, then look in your Trash folder. If the Trash has not been emptied, you can drag the App Store bundle back to the Applications folder. Then (after you've dragged it to the Applications folder) drag the icon back onto the Dock, if you want the application in the Dock.
If you've deleted the App Store from the Applications folder and have subsequently emptied the trash, then you'll want to download the 10.6.8 Combo updater from Apple, and apply the installer to your system. That will reload all of the pieces of OS X that have been updated since 10.6. The App Store will be loaded into the Applications folder and into the Dock for you.
OS X updates come in two general formats: Delta updates, and Combo updates. Delta updates contain just changes from the previous release. The Combo updates are cumulative, and contain all changes from all of the delta updates.
Get your OS X backups going, too. Apple's Time Machine does a good job here and is both free and easy to use, though there are other options. Either Time Machine via a directly-connected disk, or (particularly nice for laptops) via a network-connected disk such as an Apple Time Capsule. (With Time Machine operating, you can also choose to restore any erroneously application bundles from the Time Machine backup, so long as the backups were running before the deletion occurred.)
