How do I make my printer quit after printing

My Epson Artisan 725 used to print and then quit (all previous versions of OSX). Now with 10.8, it prints and stays in the dock, it does not quit like I would it prefer.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you have Default Folder X installed?

How do i make my printer be wireless

how do i make my printer be wireless

Get an Airport Express to plug in near the printer. Connect an Ethernet or USB cable from the printer to the Airport Expres. Use Airport Utility to configure the AEX to Join an Existing Network.

HT3500 how do i make my printer connect to a new SSID

I have a new wireless address, and my printer's setting is the old wireless SSID. so my printer is not connected.... how do i make the printer to connect my new SSID??

You have a printer question, not an AirPort question. No adjustments need to be made on the AirPort if wireless is working for other devices.
Check the documentation that came with your printer to see how to reset the device back to the original default settings it was using when it was new.
Then, configure the printer to connect to the "new" network....just like you did when you configured it to connect to the "old" network.
If you need more info, you need to contact support at the printer manufacturer.

How do I make drag sources disappear after being moved to the correct drop target in Captivate 7

How do I make drag sources disappear after being moved to the correct drop target in Captivate 7

Thank you so much. I could have searched a very long time and not found that. It is counter-intuitive to me that I would set the behavior for the drag source on the properties for the drop target.

How can I make a "print screen" on my iMac?

How can I make a Print Screen of my iMac? Also catching only a portion of the video?

Hello redlion53,
It sounds like you would like to take screenshots of either the entire screen or a portion of the screen. This article outlines how to perform this function:
OS X: Taking pictures of your screen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5775
Take a picture of your entire screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screen shot is added to your desktop.
Take a picture of some of your screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.
Take a picture of a specific window
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.
This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Take a picture of a menu
Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.
To take a picture of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Additional Information
In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as PNG files on the desktop. They are automatically named "Screen shot (date and time).png".
You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab app.
Some apps, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of their windows.
To capture a partial screen or a window selection to the Clipboard instead of a desktop file, use Command-Shift-Control-4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How can I make my printer airprint compatible so I can print from my iPad air?

How can I make my printer airprint compatible so I can print from my iPad air?

If you have a Mac, you can usually install an application like Printopia to allow the iPad to print to your printer.
There is a free trial, so you will know if Printopia works for you before you buy. Details here:
Printopia - Ecamm Network
There are other apps that do the same things, but I have not tried them, so cannot comment on them.

How can I make my print job go fast again?

How can I make my print job go fast again? Since february when there was a update for snow leopard, all of my print jobs almost take forever to finish.. a pdf file 10MB size will take about 1 hour to send to the printer that is a Nashuatech mp c3500.
And yes, if the pdf for example is 20MB size, it will take about 2 hours to get it done..
My equipment is:
Macbook pro OS X 10.6.8
Nashuatech NRG MPC3500

Sometimes, Software Update doesn't apply updates entirely correctly, and odd issues can happen.
You might download and install the latest combo update for 10.6.8, which is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 . Before installing, bring up Disk Utlity (on your hard drive in applications/utilties) and repair permissions. Install the update, then repair permissions again when done.

Mac pro / Laserjet 4 / Os 10.6 - how do I make the printer work?

Hi,
I have a 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8 and an ancient yet still thriving HP Laserjet 4 that I was using over an ethernet/Jetdirect connection with my G5 for years - how do I get them to talk to each other?
I'm running the printer connection through a router, but the Mac Pro has 2 ethernet ports so I guess I can plug the printer in directly if that's simpler. The IP of the printer is 192.168.5.40 and I've tried setting it up with the "Add a printer" dialogue but can't get it to work.
I've read through a lot of posts and looked at a lot of Websites but I can't find step by step instructions for getting the computer to see the printer. I have Gutenprint drivers installed if that helps.
And - just to keep the discussiion concise:
- I know that there are better newer printers that I could buy for cheap, but that isn't going to happen right now.
- I know that 10.6 isn't the most recent OS
I'm hopipng for truly step-by-step instructions that even I can understand.
Thanks!

So maybe it's a problem with the printer's IP?
Yes. As far as your network is concerned, the printer is just not there.
You will not be able to progress until you assign it an IP address accessible to your LAN. Apparently it needs to be 192.168.1.x (a 1 in the place that is now a 5), where x = a large enough number that is not likely for router to assign to other equipment.
Your challenge is to assign the printer that IP address. Let's use the address 192.168.1.150.
HP's support pages for that printer and its Jetdirect card say, rather unhelpfully:
Using the front panel of printer
The IP address may also be changed using the front panel of the HP Jetdirect device. This method of front panel configuration varies greatly depending on the model of HP printer that is being used (consult the User's Guide for the front panel instructions for a particular printer). Click here to go to the HP Web site. Use the Search and search for Front Control Panel TCP/IP Configuration .
I did that and it didn't really get me anywhere, since there seem to be few if any references to the non- "MP" or "V" etc. variants of the original LaserJet 4. So, try to find a setting in the printer's front panel that bears any resemblance to "network settings" or "IP address".
If you are able to navigate its front panel to a place where you can enter the IP address 192.168.1.150 be sure to press GO or ENTER or ONLINE or whatever you think might make the setting "stick" after you enter those digits. Print the same test page you did before, and ensure its IP address has really been changed. Then, then try the ping command again, with its new IP address:
ping 192.168.1.150
If you are unable to determine a way to use the printer's front panel to change its IP address, you should be able to use Terminal to set it. This will get a bit cumbersome so use it only if you are unable to change the printer's IP address some other way:
Terminal is a program in your Mac's Utilities folder.
Locate Terminal and open it. At the command prompt, type the following exactly as written (copy and paste the following to avoid errors):
sudo arp -s 192.168.1.150 00:60:b0:91:21:e7
... and press Return. You will get a warning of impending disaster should you make a mistake, and requesting your Mac's Administrator password to proceed. Type your password (which will not appear as you type it) and press Return. Unless something went wrong the command prompt should immediately reappear as if nothing happened.
Next try the ping command again:
ping 192.168.1.150
You should receive ping responses from the printer as in my earlier example.
If you do, then congratulations because you have made it all the way to Step 1
You still have to add the printer in System Preferences > Print & Fax, using this new IP address, and make sure the Gutenprint driver works.
Edit: The reason your printer works with your old G5 running Tiger is that it is using AppleTalk for communication. AppleTalk doesn't exist in Snow Leopard. This is the reason you must use IP for communication on your Mac Pro. Your old G5 should continue to work with the printer as it always has.
another Edit: HP's support page alleges that the Terminal command arp above will only work with JetDirect firmware versions x.08.03 and later only. Yours appears to be A.05.05, so the front panel option may be all there is. If that does not work I have one more idea but it's an even bigger pain.

How can I make an applescript quit it's self

Hi, I have little knowledge with applescript. I was wondering, since my applescript app just doesn't respond 2-3 seconds after launch, How can I try to make it force quit it's self? I've tried (and failed) with the following (surprise, surprise):
delay 2
tell application "(MyAppName)" to quit
end tell
- No response
delay 2
tell application "(MyAppName)" to activate
tell "System Events"
     key down command
     keystroke "."
     key up command
end tell
- No response, AGAIN
(As you know, command+period tells a script to quit)

Usually something like
    tell me to quit
or
    error number -128
should do it, but if your application is hanging there isn't much you can do (in the same script), since it isn't running. You may be able to set up an application timeout if it is another application that isn't responding, but more information about what specifically is not responding would help.

How do I make one video plays after the other

Let's say I have an idvd project with 5 different movies, how do I make one plays after the other? When I click next, it goes back to the menu. Thanks Alex

There are two ways to do this.
1. If you have it, use iMovie HD6. You can put all of your movies into one project, and add chapter markers at the beginning of each movie. This will allow you to play your movies straight through or select the individual movies, like a scene selection.
2. You can use iDVD instead. Check out this post by Old Toad on how to use this method.

How do I make a printing pre set in Photoshop CS4?

I use Photoshop CS4 and print on an Epson R360. I often print high resolution images, usually jpeg, onto quality Epson paper with certain settings to get the best result. However I am aware that I can set a "pre set" to achieve this without having to make the print spec choices each time but don't know how to do it. I have checked the Adobe website but cannot find any relevant info that I can understand. Can anyone give me a simple guide how to do this please?

In the PRINT dialog box, [see Pic-1], make all the changes that you want,
then [see Pic-2]
SAVES US, name your preset. When you print again, then you just select that PRESET, and all your print specs for the PRESET should all be there. I hope this helps.

How do you make it print first page first and not the last page first?

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600. How do I make the first page print first and not the last page printing first?

Hi,
From the application used to print open the print dialog and click Oroperties or Preferences to access the Printing Preferences screen.
From the Layout tab set Page Order as Back to Front, then the first page will be printed first.

How can I make this scene in After Effects?

The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug. Gandalf vs The Necromancer (Sauron) - YouTube
I am making this scene in stop motion lego. How can I make this scene, the shield vs smoke and the flaming figure, including the shots that zoom into Sauron's mouth. How do I do these shots? I am new to after effects. I have done basic smoke before, but nothing like this. I've done snow and green screen and fire, but I'd just like some help. Thank you I have CS6

There is no plug-in or button, only careful planning based on knowledge of the process of combining layers of images into a final image. Every element in a composite is a separate layer. If you are new you need to do some basic research. There are lots of books out there that will show you the theory. Start on AMAZON or your public library. http://www.amazon.com/Effects-Visual-Compositing-Studio-Techniques/dp/0321934695/ref=sr_1_ 2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421914012&sr=8-… may be a good place to start. Once you get some knowledge you can start breaking down a shot like this:
Layers that I see in this shot in order.
Vignette to darken the corners of the shot
Foreground smoke
Lighting effects on smoke
Foreground branches
Middle ground actor as a track matte or mask source for
Middle ground smoke
Middle ground lighting effects in the smoke
Actor on rock
Rock to act as a mask for background lighting effects and smoke
Rock
Background smoke and lighting effects
Background
If your original footage contained the background, the rock, the actor, and the branches then your first task would be to separate each of those to a separate layer. Then you would create or shoot the smoke and lighting effects and start building the layers. You then would modify the masks and effects on each layer to create the light wrap and look of the atmosphere using blend modes. Then you would add color grading effects or overlays to simulate the lighting in the shot. If you were really doing a shot like this you would probably add some lighting cues on the set to help sell the idea that a bunch of energy was lighting up the actors face. Like Mulenium said, there may have easily been fifty folks working on this shot for several days. It's completely unreasonable to expect that you can just add a plug-in and adjust some sliders to create the effect. Every composite requires you to separate elements into layers and then sandwich the elements you need to create and sell the effect you want to sell.

The print in my e-mails at Yahoo and Comcast is so small that it is unreadable. I need to know how to make the print larger. There must be some way to do it. It wasn't always like this.

Use the scroll down /up wheel on your mouse while pressing the ctrl key. That worked for me.
