How to set up LPD printer properly? I just upgraded to Snow Leopard from 10.4.  I can not get my laser printer to work.

OK, here is what I have found.  Since the printer is on an ethernet network it can not be seen since there is no more apple talk.  I must set it up as a LPD printer.  Xante tech support has told me how to do this but they are baffled by the fact that it will not print.  I am using a Linksys wireless/broadband router.
These are my numbers:
IP 192.168.1.110
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.188.1.1
DNS Server" 66.103.237.2.66.103.251.130
Xante has suggested using 192.168.1.112 and the printer is found and the print queue is opened and the following message is in the print queue window: Network host '192.168.1.112' is busy; will retry in 10 seconds...  Nothing ever prints.
On this list I have seen a successful connection in the past through an airport connection.  I think that the number that Xante has suggested is not correct.
I am able to print to this printer through another computer on the network that has not been upgraded to Leopard.
Any thoughts?  Thanks

The best answer to this question requires a little more digging.
More specifically, what spare inputs do you have on the TV, and what video card are you currently driving.
IMHO S-Video is going to give you about a poor a picture as you can get, mostly because of the limited bandwidth and the fact it's based around standard resolution TV (e.g. NTSC signaling).
The best experience would be via HDMI, but for that you'd need a video card with a DVI interface, plus a DVI -> HDMI cable. If you don't have a DVI-based video card and you're OK spending a few dollars that would be your best bet, although off hand I don't know specifically which card you'd need - most of the modern cards are PCI-X or PCIe and won't work in the G4.
If you don't want to replace the card then you'll need to let us know what kind of video card you have in it so that we can find the best match.

    I just installed Snow Leopard (upgraded from Leopard) and nothing is loading properly.  Yahoo email page is messed up.  Can't get into my Comcast email and other sites I regularly use don't load properly. What should I do?  Thanks

    Try using the Software Update feature in OS X Preferences Panel to update both OS X 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 and use Software Update to update all of your installed Apple software, and other Security updates, as well.

  • How much is it to upgrade form Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and can it be done in one hit?

    How much is it to upgrade form Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and can it be done in one hit?

    Run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button.   I have to force quit Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button.  Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button.  The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload.  It has never done that before.  It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
    It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open.  I have to force quit aperture.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and have lost my epson printer software. On Epson Aus. web page there is no upgrade of their software for my printer with Snow Leopard. Can i download a lesser operating system software for printer?

    I have just upgraded to snow leopard and lost my epson printer software. I have checked Epson Aus web site for printer software but they haven't upgraded it for snow leopard. Am i able to download software for a lesser operating system then snow leopard or do i have to purchase a new printer? The model is stylus photo R310.

    Have you tried the R300 or R320 software? Typically the software covers a broad spectrum of printers, often providinbg overlap to cover "relatives" of a series.

  • How do I upgrade to snow leopard from leopard if I don't have the Mac App Store?

    How do I upgrade to snow leopard from leopard if I don't have the Mac App Store?

    It has never been on the MAS. It's never been a download anywhere (except, maybe, as a pirated version on a torrent, which, along with being "free," will probably bring along some nice malware.)  It has always been a DVD, which may be possible to obtain by calling Apple and asking for Phone Sales. Should stlll only be $29.

  • Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620.  Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

    Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620.  Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

    Assuming the MP620 is connected to your wireless network, then there are two components to this device - the printer and the scanner. The printer uses Canon proprietary software while the scanner is supported by Apple's Bonjour service. So in many cases, you will at least see the scanner, shown as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column, while the printer can take longer to appear and is shown as canonijnetwork in the Kind column. If you cannot see either then you have a network issue. Try turning off the MP620 for a minute and then turning back on. Then see if the scanner / printer component appears in the Add Printer window. If you still don't see either, then confirm the MP and the Mac are using the same network. If you know the MP's IP address you can use Network Utility to Ping the address. You can also enable Bonjour Bookmarks in Safari preferences and when selected, the MP620 should appear.

  • Can't upgrade to snow leopard from tiger with mac box set

    i have a macbook that runs 10.4.11. and this happened like last yr i think. i was going to upgrade it to snow leopard, and so i went to the store and bought the mac box set, the one costs $196. and here comes the trouble, no matter what i did, it couldn't be properly upgraded. like when it shows the window that says it is upgrading, it just tell you some errors occurred and then it couldn't proceed. so ever since i just continued using 10.4.11.
    now i kind want to upgrade it again but im afraid that sth wrong is gonna happen again. so what should i do?? (b4 i upgraded, i erased everything in my mac, but still...)
    the funny thing is, once i actually brought my macbook into the store and tried to upgrade in front f the technician, and it failed. later on they told me that i need to increase its memory from 1GB to 2GB, and i did so. but still........T.T

    Hi, do you remember any of the exact wording of the errors?
    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Report any errors it has.
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (os x snow leopard) using bootcamp.  I can't get back to my mac now.  I've tried logging off of windows and shutting it down.  when i restart it comes back on in windows.  How do I get back to my os x?

    Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp.  Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard.  When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows.  How do I get back to my mac operating system?

    If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
    If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

  • How do I get Lion if I can not get the App Store to work?

    I have reinstalled my OS 10.6.3 ran all the updates and the App store does not work. I have reinstalled the 10.6.8 Combo updater, and while I can now look through the App Store if I try to download anything the application locks up with the spinning rainbow wheel; the only way out of the is to 'Force Quit'. That being said, "How am I suppose to upgrade to Lion OS 10.7"?

    At this time, Lion is not being offered in disc form and is only available through the Mac App store.
    As for your Mac AppStore freezing, I assume you are receiving an error 100. Try unmounting your Bootcamp partition and any external hard drives. Sign out and quit the AppStore and iTunes. Open iTunes and download any application. This should prompt you to accept new terms. Accept the new terms and wait for the download to finish. Quit iTunes and relaunch the AppStore. Now attempt to download an application within the AppStore. This should resolve the issue.

  • How to set up Canon printer via Netgear print server ps121 on new macbook

    I have bought a new Macbook (OS10.4.8). The Apple store gives a good deal if you buy a Canon ip4300 with it but I am having problems figuring out how to set up the printer to work thru my Netgear print server on my Netgear network. Can anybody advise:
    1. I know my print server is on port 192.168.1.5, but what kind of settings do I use, IPP or LPT or something else?
    2. Why can I not find the driver for the ip4300, even though I have used the CD that came with the printer and run the install program and the printer DOES work when I plug it directly into the USB port. Why does the Macbook come with drivers already installed for only a few ancient BJ Canons and why won't it show me where the driver for the ip4300 is since it is obviously already on the machine?
    I know Netgear treats its customers with contempt (Linksys even worse). But I would expect a little more simplicity from Canon and Apple. I know I am an orangutan but it still seems incredibly difficult, as if they have hidden the printer driver on the computer and as if Apple does not want you to install networked printers. Please don't tell me to RTFM, I have read the Canon manual, it tells you how to network with Windows, does not even mention Mac. Any advice appreciated.

    Hi zoevancouver,
    If you are not able to set up your Canon MP460 printer, take a look at the article below.  There is a link to the Canon website and compatible printers.  Since this particular model is not on the list, you may need to contact Canon for additional support.
