How can you install a older printing software?

     I have had a iMac running OS X Tiger and had a HP CLJ 8500  (Color Laser Jet) that took a software disc and since Snow Leopard does not have AppleTalk anymore, is there any way I can run the software on my Macbook Pro? If not, then is there any possible way to use the iMac as a printer server via bonjour, IP, etc.?

Check with HP to see if they have updated the printer driver to work with Snow Leopard:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
From HP, "The latest HP printer driver for devices listed below are built into Mac OS X 10.6. You do not need to download or reinstall any HP software for full printing functionality."
How is the printer connected to the iMac?

  • How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software?

    How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software for a computer running MAC OSX 10.4.11 if you do not have a MacBook Air?

    You'll find the software you're looking for here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/dvdorcdsharingsetupupdateformac.html
    However, say for example you install this on your iMac G4 or Windows XP PC (you'll need to get the link for that one yourself), are you planning to try to share the drive with an iBook or other non-MacBook Air computer? If this is your case, I'm not shure if it can be done with that software. I'll need to get back to you on that one.

  • How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    Hi John,
    I appreciate your prompt response.
    We have an Australian client here in the Philippines and would want to purchase an adobe software under Creative Cloud Licensing.
    Since this type of licensing is not yet available here in the Philippines, they are suggesting that they can purchase it in their country.
    My main concern is, will there be any conflict upon installing/activating an adobe software under Creative Cloud which will be purchased from their country?
    And what are the steps for installing and activating a software under this type of license.

    The printer needs to be re-installed and the installation disk is for windows XP and 2000.

  • How do you install HP Photosmart Apple software with just an iPad?

    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 7 and a new HP Photosmart 7520 all in one printer. How do you install the Apple software on the CD if you don't have a computer to do so?
    Is there some kind of wifi internet install of the CD's software or do I have to go find a computer to do this?
    This is frustrating and I can't find info that says what to do.
    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    You should not need to install the CD software.
    Your Printer Model Appears to be AirPrint Compatible as found in the list of printers here.
    AirPrint Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Basically all you would need to do is connect the Printer to the Same Wifi network your iPad is connected to and off you go.

  • How can i install my hp printer when there is no cd port on my 2011 macbook air

    How can I install a printer to my macbook air which has no cd port?  I have a basic hp printer.

    You won't need to. As long as the computer "sees" the printer it will automatically download any needed software for it. I have one of the HP wireless printers and as soon as my Air saw it on my wirelss network it told me there was software available for it and asked if I wanted to download it which I did. No cd/DVD needed.

  • How can i install konicaminolta ip printer

    how can i install konicaminolta ip printer

    In general,
    1) download and install the driver
    2) System preferences > Print & Fax > click the tiny PLUS Icon under the left pane to Add a Printer.
    3) all connected and "reachable" printers will be shown. If the konicaminolta is shown, choose it and proceed. If it is not shown or does not work correctly see #4 below.
    4) if not, go back to konicaminolta directions and study carefully, as they are using their own procedure to establish contact with the printer (as do some hp and others).

  • How can I install an OLDER version of iTunes-- on a Mac?

    I upgraded to iTunes 9.1--- and now it won't connect to the iTunes store. How can I go BACK to an older version. This is terrible--- and Apple is NOT HELPING!
    It seems to be a common problem.
    Help!

    to downgrade to a previous iTunes version, you could try this user tip that seemed to have worked for some:
    +1) Quit iTunes.+
    +2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
    +3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
    +4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
    +6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
    +You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
    +And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.

  • How can you install FCS 3 on a computer that already has FCPX?

    Ok so, I wiped my computer to install Lion, and then installed FCP X. I now want to install Final Cut Studio 3, but it won't let me install Final Cut, Motion, or Compressor (the other apps install fine). Presumably this is because I have downloaded the new versions of those respective apps from the app store.
    I know you can install FCP X on a computer with FCS3 on it (and still be able to use both versions of FCP) but can you do the opposite? If so I haven't found out how (short of installing on a different disk/partition of course). I tried moving FCPX out of the applications folder (in hopes that it was as simple as the installer checks the apps folder first for another copy of Final Cut) but that simply moved an alias and as far as I can tell, FCPX cannot be moved out of the applications folder.
    Anyone have any ideas or experienced something similar?
    Thanks!

    Hey Brad thanks, but the link you provided is the opposite of what I need. That link is for if you want to install FCPX on a system with FCS 3 already on it. I have FCP X already installed and need to install FCS 3 on the same drive.
    I cannot move the FCPX, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 applications to a new folder, because when I do it only moves an alias over for some reason (not the actual application).
    @Ronnie yes I know I can install another copy of OSX on another drive/partition and install FCS 3 on that, but I am trying to not have to do that. Clearly FCPX and FCS 3 can exist on the same partition if you install FCS 3 first, so why can't I do it if I already have FCPX installed? Seems silly. I also do not want to have to reboot each time I want to go into FCS3, not to mention all of the disk space I would lose by installing the OS on one of my other internal drive (which currently are all filled with Media drives, so I would have to repartition a sizable chunk of one of them just for FC Studio).

  • How can I install the pdf printer when Win 7 doesn't offer the choice?

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 8.0 Pro, and in XP I used to have an Adobe pdf printer in my printer's dropdown list, so that it was possible to convert anything in any application into a pdf document.
    Now I had to change the system, and I try to install a pdf printer. The Acrobat help simply says "in devices and printers chose the pdf printer". Yes, would be easyif it were at choice. But it isn't.
    I assume there must be a driver missing. Does anybody know anything about the what and where?
    Thanks for your help.
    Saskia

    AA8 works on VISTA and several folks have reported it working on 32-bit Win7 (I have only heard of 2 getting it to work on the 64-bit system). Adobe does not support AA8 beyond VISTA (actually they won't give much support on AA8 for anything anymore). If you were successful in the Win7 installation and Acrobat and Distiller both open, then there is a chance you will be able to get things taken care of. As I understand it, you can open Acrobat, but the updates in the help menu do not respond. In that case go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and download the updates for manual installation. If you start with the most current update, it will tell you on the download page the previous update that is required. That way you can go back through the updates and install the needed ones in order. Reboot after the last update only.

  • Airport Extreme Compatible Printers - How can you tell by the printer spec?

    Hi,
    If a printer spec says Mac OS X v10.3.9, 10.4 compatible am I safe in assuming it has drivers for Airport Extreme? If not how can I be sure? I'm trying to replace an old printer that doesn't work very well or have drivers specifically for the Airport Extreme.
    My OS is Tiger.

    There are no drivers specifically for A-Extreme. You should refer to this list:

  • Flash player v10.02.159 won't install - how can I install an older version?

    Hi all, any help will be appreciated.
    I've read all the relevent posts in this forum and tried the various suggestions. (used the Adobe uninstaller, used the various packages on the x64 help page; clean installs and uninstalls with RevoUninstaller Pro) shockwave for director is on Firefox, but would not even download on IE. (I don't use IE anyway, but...)
    I am running XP pro x64. I have Firefox v3.6.16 and Internet Explorer v 8 32 bit. I don't have the 64 bit installed.
    When I updated to v 10, it wouldn't install on either browser. The error message for the Flash player 10.2 installer reads:
    I am also running Chrome. I never updated the player, so it works on there (thank goodness!) (Nothing shows in the extensions folder)
    I tried to install an older package, flashplayer 9r280_win.exe and Brothersoftdownloader_for_Adobe_Flashplayer. - clean installs and uninstalls each time., also with no luck.
    Can someone tell me how to install an older version until the 64 bit version works for me? Or - if there is a fix that has not been posted yet - I'm game to try.

    You could try if the MSI installer works better; download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    If it does not, archived FP versions can be found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

  • How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

    How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

    Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
    As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

  • How do I install my new printer software on my macbook air when there is not a disk drive?

    I recently got a new hp all in one printer but the software for it comes on a disk but the macbook air does not have a disk drive..

    If "plan A" is unsuccessful, you can download the driver from the printer manufacturers website. You can also share another computer's dvd drive.
    And you may want to consider buying a MacBook Air external Superdrive from Apple for $79.00. Maybe its not necessary now, you may find some software that will make it handy. Or use the drive to rip DVD's and CD's.
