How to restart in OS 9 to use Epson C86 printer with OS 9 applications?

I've installed the software for the Epson C86 printer on my iMac (Panther, OS 10.3) and I want to use the printer with applications running in the Classic Environment. I've got the OS 9 System Folder installed. The printer instructions say to restart the iMac in OS 9 and choose the C86 icon in the Chooser.
When I'm running in the Classic environment, the C86 icon does not appear in the OS 9 Chooser, and OS 9 does not appear in the Startup Pane of System Preferences. When I restart holding down the option key, only the OS X icon appears.
How do I start up in OS 9--and more importantly, how do I use the Epson C86 on this machine with OS 9 applications?
Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer!

You cannot start up in OS 9. The last mac that could boot into 9 rolled off the assembly line several years ago. However, you may be able to print from Classic by installing the OS 9 driver for your printer into Classic, the same way you would install it into a bootable system.

Thanks for your response. (This is electric-hair with a new ID--consider this item marked "resolved"!) I downloaded the updated driver for the C86 from the Epson website instead of using the CD that came with the printer and everything worked automatically, just fine.
Is it always better to download and use the software from a company's website for a peripheral than to use the software on the CD that comes with? Simply because of updates...or is there another reason?

Using Epson DX6000 printer with leopard and timecapsule

I can print fine when i plug in the printer direct to the macbook, but not when connecting the printer direct to the timecapsule. Macbook sees it ok, and says it's printed to it but nothing happens. Tried reinstalling drivers' deleting preferences etc but no good. And like i said works fine when connected directly.
Can anyone please advise?

That was my experience as well - the key was getting rid of the old driver.
Finally figured it out after spending literally days on this problem.
Read this post first:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5862672
The key for me was to totally get rid of the old epson driver. I had the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 - GutenPrint v5.1.3 driver. It produced horrible washed out results. Photoshop could see the printer, and actually printed images, but they looked washed out. After replacing all the inks, and running numerous test prints - after switching it to my windows machine and back, I finally got it working. Follow the instructions on the post listed above. The part where they have you "repair permissions" did not complete for me. Something happened and the process just aborted. Why that happened I do not know. Once the old drivers were off, I went into system preferences/print & fax. I plugged the printer back in. I added it with the newly downloaded and installed driver from Epson. When I could select which driver to use I DID NOT USE the GutenPrint driver. This time I was prompted to use an Epson SP R2400 driver. I printed a test page - all looked ok. I fired up Photoshop, and voila - my gorgeous prints on my fantastic Epson R2400 are back. Man I was a real unhappy camper for the past 7 days. So I am back in business.
Good luck - hope it helps.

Just upgraded to Mavericks and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks?

Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard?

It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Don't know how to use the air print with my ipads.

i just bought an mg3222 printer and i don't know how to figure out how to use air print with my ipad and ipad minis. Can anybody help??? Thanks

Hello.
In order to use the printer with your iOS devices, please make sure that the units are all connected to the same WI-Fi router. Once this has been done you should be able to print.
The initial Wi-Fi setup of the MG3222 would have to be done from a compatible Windows or Mac OSX computer.
If additional assistance is needed, feel free to call us at 1-800-OKCANON.

Need assistance on querying the status of an application using Powershell. The status of the application is displayed in a https website. I want to receive a notification when one of the listed applications fails.

thats where you are going to check what it is supposed to be.
lets say your page shows as SSOL Status : running you
probably want to use "if($totalstrng.ToLower().contains("ssqlL status
: running"))". its
checking if the html page contains the string you are looking for.
you might want to print $totalstrng
and see what you need to look for.
usign XMLHttp
or XML object as mentioned by JRV might be easier and faster way.

Unable to print from a Mac using Maverick 10.9.2 on an Epson Photo printer with Photoshop CS4. Can you help?

I am trying to print in Photoshop CS4 on an Epson Photo printer (3880) from my Mac. I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 when the problem started. Can you help.

I have the answer. It took quite a while but I know why the 3880 won't print from Photoshop 4 with Maverick. It is due to the Epson .icc page description files. The way to solve the problem is to make your own .icc. OK, so you don't know how to do it. This is what I did so now I get the quality prints I expect from an expensive printer.
You need to go to www.datacolor.com/spyderprint and purchase the Spyderprint hardware and software. It comes as a package for $300 to $350 depending on if you get a sale. The software will print on the 3880 test sheets of color blocks. With the hardware reader you then read the colors on the test sheets printed. What this does is match the monitor image with the printer, ink and paper you used. It makes an .icc page description file for you to select instead of the Epson .icc file. When you print again select the new .icc file and also choose "Printer Manages Colors" instead of "Photoshop Manages Colors" I know this is usual but it works. When you are done you will be smiling too with your beautiful results.
One other thing. If you want, it is optional, also purchase the Spider 4 Pro for $150. It calibrates your monitor and helps make excellent prints.
I understand it is more money and you already probably have a good computer, expensive camera to go with the 3880 so spend the extra money so it all works together.
I hope this helps.

How Do I Get Laptops (Mac+PC) to Share Data & Printer With "Main" Desktop?

My daughters are both home from school for the summer. How do I set it up so we they can use the wifi to share data and use the common printer?
My main computer is an iMac desktop -- running Tiger.
I have the Airport Extreme.
My printer is plugged to the Airport.
I have a laptop that a friend set up for me -- also running Tiger. I just hit print and the documents print. And it has an icon in the dock that when I click it launches so I can see / share / transfer files. But I don't know how he set things up. So ...
Both of my daughters use the wifi to connect to the internet but I would like to take it the next step -- to print and data share.
One daughter has a MacBook -- running Tiger.
Her sister has PC running XP.
I'm sure there is a simple "how to" somewhere in the database but I can't seem to find.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Print Setup says use Adobe Color Printer with No Color Management even though I have my .icc printer profile selected

I have a ColorMunki Photo and a Canon Pixma Pro 100 that I have been using on my Mac with Photoshop CC. No issues. I must have changed something because now when I go to print, a popup says "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management". It is telling me that my I am trying to print without color management and this method of printing isn't supported. So, I reprofiled my monitor and printer and have brand new .icc profiles and it is still doing the same thing. Can someone tell me the exact things that need to be changed in Photoshop in order to use my .icc profile for color managed printing? I have no idea what I have changed. If I change to a different profile that message doesn't pop up. My document profile says that it is the same as the printer profile I am trying to print from. Does the document profile need to be set to my monitor .icc profile or the printer .icc profile that I want to print from? Any help would be appreciated! It is driving me crazy!
