HT3771 Print with a Xerox workcentre 5020 using Snow Leopard

Hi!
I've been looking everywhere for a driver (any driver) that may help me use this Workcentre with our Macs. I know there's none from Xerox for this printer so, any idea, tip or suggestion to make this work? Besides buying a new printer of course...

Looking at the specifications for this printer, it appears that is uses a proprietary driver that was only ever released for Windows.
I also had a look at the Linux Foundation for an open source driver but there does not appear to be one for this model.
If you still have a Windows XP computer, you may be able to use it as a print server and use this instruction to print from the Mac.

  • Problems printing with  HP laser jet 5M and Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    Since In installed Snow Leopard on my mac I can no longer print with my HP laser jet 5M.
    I know this is because Appletalk is no longer supported, and that I should use the laser jet as IP printer. However, I couldn't figure out how to assign an IP address to the printer. It seems I can't do this by the config menus of the printer. I read somwhere it is possible to do this by terminal (telnet) but I am not familiar with unix.
    Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
    many thanks
    Marcello

  • Can't scan or fax with HP6110 all-in-one using Snow Leopard

    Since I installed Snow Leopard my HP6110 only works for printing. As a scanner or fax it is apparently is useless. Supposedly it will show up in Image Capture or Preview, but it does not. Any ideas?

    Have you tried installing the Snow Leopard drivers from the HP website? If so, you should have the HP utility. Here is a link that might help. Towards the bottom are directions on how to access the utility.

  • Printing with my HP Laserjet 1100 in Snow Leopard & hpijs

    I have the DB25 to usb cable connected to the mini-centronix to db25 cable that is attached to my printer.  I have downloaded the hpijs packages from the linux foundation.  I think this should work except, after adding the printer and send a job to it, the printer is paused.  I suspect it has something to do with the protocol - its not a network printer.  What are the steps to add the parallel printer directly attached to my macbook pro?
    thanks in advance for your help.

    Try using the alternative communications software usbtb.  Y:Ou can get it from http://buymelunch.org/printing/usbtb/   THis usually works better with the parallel to USB adapters.

  • Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

    i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
    in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html    
    once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
    using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
    how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Using snow leopard upgrade disk with bootcamp

    I can install snow leopard clean on a fresh drive on my MBP with my upgrade disk.
    It is the disk that came as a drop-in dvd with the MBP, along with its original install disks.
    If I install windows using bootcamp assistant, do I use that disk when it asks for the drivers, etc. during installation?
    Or do I use my leopard install disks that came with my computer?
    Is the snow leopard bootcamp process any different from the process in leopard?
    I had windows Vista on there fine before upgrading my hard drive and going to snow leopard.
    Do I need to print out those 25 pages again?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Are you asking if you can? Yes, I think you can. The worst case is that you would have to install Leo first and then upgrade to Sno.

    You would use the Leopard install DVD.

    Its the same. Just start up the the Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions. No need to print the 25 pages again, IMO.

    Thanks for any advice.

  • I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

    I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

    First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
    Second: Create a new partition.
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Third: Install Snow Leopard.
    Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
          appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

  • Is it possible to use Snow Leopard on Mountain Lion iMac with Virtualbox ?

    I've been lucky recently, with people giving the perfect solutions for me so I try again.
    But, this one is a tough one: How to run a virtual Snow Leopard on a new iMac ?
    I got a 2013 iMac with Mountain Lion (10.8.5 now) so,  totally incompatible with Snow Leopard. I need SL anyway.
    Give up all you old applications and buy new ones is not acceptable. First, this is not my way of thinking and, second, some cannot be replaced.
    Many posts say that you can use Snow Leopard with VirtualBox but I could not find anywhere the "how to" (in this particular configuration).
    For instance, I followed these 2 protocols, almost similar:
    http://www.maketecheasier.com/install-mac-os-x-snow-leopard-in-virtualbox-on-win dows/
    http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/02/snow-leopard-virtualbox.html
    but they use Windows as host system and something is not working (for me) with Mountain Lion.
    I made many attempts, with VirtualBox 4.2.18, using pretty much everything: Snow Leopard DVD, SL Server DVD, .dmg of both. I've also got Combo 10.6.8 updates for both (but I'm not sure if it can be used before installing). With another MacBook, I managed to install a SLS on external hard drive and update to 10.6.8. Was unable to use it anyway.
    Inevitably, I ended up with the message:
    "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."
    I have no idea of what support to use and even, probably  important, if it should be set on Primary or Secondary Master ? (in Settings / Storage)
    Is it possible at all ???
    Would it work better with VMware Fusion ? Anybody successful ?
    Help
    Thanx

    I am able to use Acrobat using a wireless router.
    Try the following:
    Get the latest update from Manufacturer. Then go to printer setup utility and remove the current version. ( Do this anyway even if the same version).
    Next plug Printer into a direct USB Connection. Now install Driver. Go back to Printer Setup Utility. and add Printer.
    Now print a document, to verify printer works.
    Now quit application, then shut down Computer.
    Now switch usb printer connector from USB connector on computer to USB connector on your router.
    Restart Computer.
    Now open an application that uses a printer and open a document. go to Printer and Look for the Following:
    Disregard the printer I have listed here that's my printer. If you see a Printer like this add to list by choosing the printer.
    Now go to Printer Setup verify it has been added. Make it the Default printer.
    Now Acrobat "should" be able to print from you printer.

    I could not find a MF-4430 at the Canon site. Are you sure the model is correct? They have a MF4450. The Mac drivers are here:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/imageclass _series/imageclass_mf4450#DriversAndSoftware
    If you are sure you have a MF4430, look around the canon site for the drivers.

  • Can you use Snow Leopard Server with Timewarner Road runner for file sharin

    I have Time Warner Roadrunner service for internet. I have there fastest package. they said it has a dynamic ip address. If you are using Snow Leopard Server and I want todo File sharing upload and downloads to my Macpro do I have to have a static ip address or is there a way around this. The Static ip address accounts are expensive
    Also from your experience. if I have 12 people uploading and downloading files willt his bring my browsing in safari to a crawl?
    thanks

    You need to first check with your provider to see if that service is even allowed (often it is not). You may have to subscribe to a commercial or small business service to set up an FTP or other file sharing server.
    Actual performance depends upon what your upload capacity is, and how much of that is being used by the total users using the service. It is possible a single user downloading files from your server will consume your entire pipe. OTOH, it might support hundreds of simultaneous users, if they are each using a small amount. In reality, your link capacity will be shared by all users regardless of the number of users.

  • Does mountain lion comes with graphic, Does mountain lion comes with graphi, Does mountain lion comes with graphic driver updates?  I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.

    Need some advice

    I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.
    Snow Leopard is no longer being updated, 10.6.8, was the last update. So, a "really long time," will be forever.
    Yes, ML has graphic driver updates, but since there is no way to guess whether it impacts your unmentioned hardware, there is no way your question can be answered.

  • If you lost your install CD's for an iMac7,1. Can you use Snow Leopard to reboot/install?

    If you lost your install CD's for an iMac7,1. Can you use Snow Leopard to reboot/install?

    Best answer; see AnaMusic above.
    Will SL do? Yes, provided you use the SL retail disc. A grey disc from another Mac will not work.
    A few considerations -
    Be warned that printer drivers, and scanner drivers in particular will almost certainly need updating for SL. That could be a problem if the printer or scanner is more than a couple of years old.
    Many third party applications (and some Apple ones) may need updates for SL (Adobe particularly), so check with the vendors for compatability before you upgrade.
    You'll need Rosetta to run PPC apps like Appleworks and many MS Office or Adobe versions. Ensure you select it from the 'optional installations' when installing SL.
    Note also that any bundled applications that came with your Tiger original discs (iLife in particular) are not included on retail OS versions.

  • Xerox phaser 3100 and Snow Leopard

    Good evening!
    Since 2 days I am trying desperately to install the printer of my dad (xerox phaser 3100) on my macbook 10.6. In fact we did the upgrade on snow leopard without knowing that the printer would not work anymore.
    Before writing here I made some research on internet and I found this web site:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/forums/forum/4358/topic/3407337
    The Phaser 3100 is a GDI printer.  The Gutenprint drivers do not support such printers.You should be able to print with the Xerox drivers provided for OS X 10.4.  To make the drivers work in OS X 10.6, install the drivers from Xerox.  Then in a Terminal window (/Applications/Terminal)  run the following commands--sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Xerox/sudo chmod 775 /Library/Printers/Xerox/filter/rastertoprinter You will have to force any 64 bit applications to run in 32 bit mode to get the full functionality for the drivers.
    Of course I went on the website of xerox to download drivers for 10.4... but when I tried to install it I got a error message saying that the package was compiled for 10.4 version...
    If you would have a solution it would be great!
    Thanks in advance and have a great easter!

    Ok,
    I tried to reboot computer, connect the usb cable. Try an other usb cable but it's not working...
    In my system profiler my printer is not appearing. I have this:
    I tried to connect a usb key in my computer and its working... so usb port is ok :-)
    Still not successful :-(... is it a problem if I have other printer install on this computer?
    Thank you!
