How can I reinstall printer software only from the original install disks?

my imac 17" printer software got corrupted and I can't use my new printer. Is there a way to just install all the original printer software from my original disks that came with the mac? I have updated all the software on the mac and don't want to go back to the old panther disk.
or is there an apple download site that has just the printer software.
thanks

Insert your original disk and look for additional software, the printers should be somewhere there. Your other option is to get [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743] and use it to extract the printer data from the install package.

Reinstalling MacOS from the original install disks

I have a late 2009 Mac mini which I want to sell, so trying to install the original OS (Snow Leopard) from the original install disks. When loading the disk and either trying the option key or the C key the disk simply runs for 10 secs then ejects itself.
I've tried other disks in the drive with no problems.
Any ideas?
I've done this procedure several times over the years on other macs and had no problem, so fairly sure I'm doing it correctly!

Well it took 12 hours to free the space on the hard drive, but completed fine. But still I have the same problems, so borrowed a friend's superdrive, and, it worked, to a point! I know find running through the installation disc setup, when I get to the point where you select your hard drive to install to it the HD has a yellow triangle over it and it says you can't install to this drive!
I ran the repair function on the drive and it says all is OK.
Sorry about this but any further ideas? I'm on the verge of taking to a Apple repairer but would rather sort it myself it possible.
Thanks for your help

How Can I Reinstall Printer Capability in 10.4.3 ?

Recently I tried to access the printer utility for my Epson C60 (trying to see remaning ink level). No windows appeared, yet the program was listed in the Dock. I couldn't quit the program so I force-quit it. The system indicated that the program had been quit. Yay, right? Nope. Its icon remained in the Dock (and also in the cmd-tab display).
So I launched the Printer Setup Utility, only to get an error -600. Hmmm...
I decided to re-install the C60 driver from the Epson site (latest is for 10.2, but according to some other posters in this forum it works OK with 10.4.x). Went to system prefs/printers, attempted to access the printer setup, but no printers appeared in the list. Hmmm...
Then I tried to re-install the printer drivers from the OSX install disk but the installer wouldn't run (some kind of "data damage" -- sorry, don't remember the exact error). This is strange cuz I handle all of my disks with kid gloves and I've only used that disk once, when re-installing my entire system months ago).
So to make a long story short, I want to re-install everything printer-related onto my system, nothing else. The "nothing else" part is really important... I started on 10.4 and worked my way up to 10.4.3 using various updates. Updating to 10.4.4 or later is not an option for me.
Any ideas how I can just get my computer to print again?

Here are instructions sent by Epson;
REMOVE FILES
1. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
2. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
3. Double click on the PRINTERS folder.
4. Drag the EPSON folder to the trash can.
5. Close any open windows.
6. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
7. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
8. Double click on the RECEIPTS folder.
9. Delete any "Epson" receipts.
10. Close all open windows and restart your computer.
REINSTALL THE EPSON DRIVER PACKAGE
1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc. Open CD when it appears on
the
desktop.
2. Find and double-click on the Optional Installs.pkg.
3. After the installer opens, choose the following custom install
options:
-Check "Printer drivers" and use arrow next to this entry to expand
this
category.
-Check "Epson" below the "Printer drivers" heading. (You do not need
to
install other manufacturer's packages.)
4. Click "Install" and follow prompts to reinstall the resident Epson
printer driver package. Restart the computer after installation is
complete.
READD THE PRINTER
1. Go into HD > Applications > Utilities and open the Printer Setup
Utility. The "Printer List" window appears.
2. Highlight and delete any existing references to your Epson printer.
(If
you want to be thorough and do not have any other printers on the Mac,
choose "Printer Setup Utility" from the top of the screen and "Reset
Printing System". Confirm resetting the system. This clears any
existing
printer entries and queues. If you have other printers on the Mac and
use
this reset, you will need to readd them later.)
3. Click ADD. Printer Browser window appears. (At this point your Epson
printer must be on and connected.)
4. Highlight the desired Epson printer model and click the MORE
PRINTERS
button at the bottom of the window. (Do not change any other fields.)
5. A window now opens which is identical to 10.2. and 10.3, where you
can
select EPSON USB (for a USB cable connection) or EPSON FIREWIRE (for a
firewire connection) at the top of the screen. If applicable highlight
your
printer's name and select Page Setup "ALL" below. Otherwise click ADD
to
return to the Printer List. (If you are unable to see the full
description
under "Kind" you may need to expand the Printer Setup Utility window or
extend the "Kind" column to make this visible.)
6. If more than one driver installs for your printer, make that printer
name/layout option you wish to use default in the Printer Setup Utility
before closing it. For example, if you plan to do a borderless print,
ensure the printer name showing "(Sheet feeder - Borderless)" under
"Kind"
is set as the default printer here. Then, when you have opened a photo
and
are ready to print, go to File > Page Setup and File > Print in the
program
you are printing from and ensure that the specific printer/layout
option
you want to use is also selected as "Printer" or "Format for".
(End of Epson instructions)
Don't download drivers from the Epson site, as they are old. The ones on your OS 10.4.x disc are more recent.

Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad? These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear. I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
Thanks
York

Interesting note: I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen. The video does not open. I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.
