I am looking for a new wide format desktop printer

After I upgraded to the new imac last year, my HP deskjet 9680 with rip software was no longer compatible with the os. I need a new printer which prints good quality wide format color prints which is compatible with adobe illustrator, and photoshop CS2-CS4. Any suggestions?

That's what wasn't real clear to me, I think Leopard had updated "drivers" and perhaps, not sure, firmware which is what I was interested in. I do not know that much about the Photosmart 8850. A few weeks ago my Designjet 10ps died and required about $500.00 to fix. That's a lot to swallow, so I looked into a replacement. The HP Photosmart Pro B9180 that I mentioned has a built-in calibration system which, if you are a photo printer, should be enough to get great photographs out of the box. However, because I need a proofer, the Efi RIP looks like a good companion for color matching. Unfortunately, it's going to set you and/or me back a grand. I don't see why the HP Photosmart 8850 wouldn't be a bad choice if you are planning for photographic printing, but if you need accurate color matching, step up to the Pro B9180. Epson has a nice 13x19 which combined with the ColorBurst RIP will deliver impressively. I can't recall the model, something like Epson 3800 Pro. The Epson might be a few dollars more, but either one will deliver nice results.

Looking for a new all in one printer

Our m2727 all in one printer has died. It had a pretty good run so we are looking for another HP.
This printer gets a pretty good workout.
Any suggestions? B&W. Must have scan and fax capability. Need something reliable obviously.
thanks!

Looking for a new budget mono Laser printer

Hi,
I was originally looking at the HP LASERJET P1005 but have read that there are a few problems with drivers for Leopard. Had a quick scout around and found a Samsung ML-2240 which is 10.3 - 10.5 compatible.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Cheers

In my opinion, pretty much all the machines in that price range(that have the specs you're looking for) are going to be pretty much the same when it comes to quality/durability.
I prefer the brand ASUS(and most of the other's on here will chime in to that effect). I'm very partial to them, and would toss this out as a recommendation : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+K-Series+15.6%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive+-...
Thought it has Windows 7 on it, I can't say I consider that a bad thing.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Looking for a new soundcard that allows use of mic and headphone connections on front of c

Hello,
I'm looking for a new soundcard to replace my on-board sound. My case, Antec P80, has two jacks on the front that allows me to connect a mic and a set of headphones...
Are there any soundblaster products that will allow me to use these two jacks?

If you're asking Creative card ... all cards with 0-pin properiatry connector onboard can do this partly (i.e. not 00% functioning) if you make DIY connection like showen on article --> http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/
Perhaps some mb-integrated (onboard) SB systems from certain vendors has this connection utilized the way, as it's done with your onboard sound.

Looking for a new laptop, I work in finance. Air book or the macro with retina?

Looking for a new notebook. I work in finance and travel. Is the Mac Pro with Retina worth the extra weight or should I go with a Air book?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The MacBook Pro with Retina display is worth, but it's limited. Note that you can't upgrade anything after buying it without voiding the warranty. The same happens with the MacBook Air.
Simply, if you have to run heavy applications, buy the MacBook Pro with Retina display. If not, buy the MacBook Air

Looking for a new laptop

Hi.

Looking for a new 13' or smaller laptop. Do you recommend U330 and U110?

Hi all,
My 4-year old T42 just died. I'm looking for a new laptop. I want the following:
13' or smaller
Lightweight
Good performance for home and work use, may run PS or some authoring tools
May play small games, mainly Internet, movies
DVD recordable?
Bugget is up to $1500
I am interested in U330 or U110 (so pretty). Any recommendations?
Thanks,
CoCo

CoCo,
I have found that there sadly isn't much information on this forum about the U110, but I'll offer some comments that perhaps you may find useful. I also have a Thinkpad T40p that I have had for a few years and like it very much. It has the SXGA+ screen (1140x1050) which I like a lot. While it has been a great laptop and pretty portable (less than 5 pounds), my wife and I take a lot of road trips in our Corvette and the T40 is a bit hard to manage in the car (we use it for our map program a lot). So when I saw the little notebooks (or netbooks) at Costco I was intrigued.
I didn't really like any of the cheaper netbooks that much, except for the nice price of $500 and under, so I started looking to see what else was available. I found the U110, which seemed to be a comparitively powerful and well built computer (especially when compared to the cheap netbooks), but the price tag of $1500 and up was too much. I found a slightly used one on ebay still under warrantee for $800, so I bought it.
I started reading up on it on various forums and online reviews and a common complaint about the U110 was that is was slow using Windows Vista. But a number of opinions recommended Windows XP, and since my other computers (T40 and two desktops) run XP, I thought this would be for me as well on the U110.
When I got the U110, I too was somewhat disappointed in the performance of Vista, although I will admit I'm not familiar with Vista while being very familiar with XP. So I decided to delete Vista and install XP, which turned out to be somewhat of an ordeal because I could find very little information on this forum or elsewhere regarding the details of the U110 partitioning and other related issues. It is actually very easy, but it is very helpful if you talk to someone who has done it and can offer suggestions and procedures.
Since I installed XP I am very happy with the performance and it's a great little, and VERY portable, computer. It will be a great travel computer because of its portability.
With all of that said, I'm not sure I would recommend it for a direct replacement of your T42. First of all, you said your T42 "died". Before giving up on it, I'd suggest you go to the Thinkpad forum - Google search for "thinkpad forum" and you'll find it - and go to the T4x Hardware forum. There is a ton of information there and a lot of people contribute to it. There are many problems solved, and it is likely your T42 may be salvagable. It's a great computer.
While I like the U110 a lot, the larger Thinkpad displays are easier to read if you'll be staring at them for long times. The U110 is fine for quick internet surfing and getting information, but it can't compare to the bigger displays. What the U110 is great for is being really portable. If that is your primary consideration, the U110 is your answer. But if portability is not your primary concern, I'd stick with the Thinkpad. And pricewise, the Thinkpad will be considerably less expensive than a late model Thinkpad like a T60 or similar. You can pick up a good T60 for under $600, while I got a good price on my U110 for $800. Performance wise, the Thinkpad is a real bargain.
The U110 will do what you want it to - DVD recording, small games, internet, movies, etc. But you mentioned "home and work use", and I'm thinking you might mean this to be your only computer. While I really like the U110, I wouldn't want it for my only computer - it's just too small. The display is too small and the keyboard, while just fine for travel, will not compare to larger Thinkpad's.
I haven't seen the U330, but it's my impression that the Ideapads are sort of a lower end product when compared to the Thinkpads. I won't give up my T40p until I can't fix it, and even then I will buy another one to replace it. But my U110 is still a great little travel companion.
These are my opinions and impressions. If you get a U110, please post your own impressions so others can benefit.
Good luck,

Looking for a new PDA/Phone

I'm looking for a new PDA/Phone that is iSync 2.4 compatible for my new AT&T account. I will switch to iPhone early in the new year but need a PDA/Phone now. Appantly AT&T is out of Nokia PDAs' at the moment.

But I can not find a list of compatible devices under 10.6 . Only a 10.5 device list is online.
The 10.6 iSync Compatible devices list is still up-to-date except for the references to Palm devices. Apple has not added any new devices to iSync since Leopard was released in October 2007.
Mobile me and other work arounds are also not an option for me , as I travel allot and the international data roaming charges would easily exceed the price of the iPhone within one month.
MobileMe works over WiFi too, so you could just turn off 3G/GPRS data whilst roaming and sync when connected via WiFi.
So, I am looking for a good / small / stable pda/phone with a good keyboard that can sync Ical / and address book over bluetooth.
Do you mean a you want a physical QWERTY keyboard? That's going to limit your choices considerably, and any Windows Mobile or Blackberry devices will need third-party software to sync with a Mac. Palm's WebOS is not yet syncable with a Mac except for going via Google over-the-air, and the same is true with Android devices.
There are hundreds of Nokia & Sony Ericsson phones that sync via Bluetooth and have POP3/IMAP email clients, but almost all don't have a QWERTY keyboard.
Also, unless you buy the phone unlocked, you'll be even more limited by what your network provider offers.

Are you happy with your Galaxy S5? I'm looking for a new phone.

Are you happy with you Galaxy S5? I'm looking for a new phone.

Very happy after getting it to stop keeping the display lit after charging completes. Battery life blows my Galaxy Nexus out of the water. The GNex was like an electric car with a 30 mile range. Always looking for a charge. The S5's screen is gorgeous. OLED is a must-have for me. Signal strength is better than the GNex and the S5 is XLTE-ready so you can get faster speeds in those markets. I got 69.08/18.95 in Kansas City back in May. Other XLTE areas have had download speeds of high 20s to low 30s. Performance is good. The interface feels smooth and responsive. I even like the look. It's like something out of a 50s diner.
My only real gripe is the storage. 16 gigs is pretty sad these days and only 10 gigs are available. I know you can add a 128 gig card (I have) but few apps load completely to the card. Heck, lots of apps won't put anything on the card. A flagship phone should have 32 and 64 gig options.
I also wish I could just load the bare OS and skip all the bells and whistles that Samsung's added.

Satellite M30X-134 - I'm looking for a new motherboard

Hello,
im looking for a new motherboard for my Satelite M30X-134! I was offered one with the Toshiba number K000019680 with the advice that this one is for all M30X notebooks. Im a little irritated, because my thoshiba trader told me, that I need one with the number K000019210. Could someone tell me, if the K000019680 goes also fine with my notebook?
Best regards
Armin

Hi
It looks like you can use both of them but maybe is better to use K000019210. on this way you will be on safe side.

more than 5 usb ports
hdmi
500 or more giggz
windows 7

@sweetpea79;
There is a few problems with your post.
Your claim that the asus laptops will "play any game out there that is compatible" is not very helpful. Many games will *NOT* be compatible with either of those laptops. Stating they will "play any game out there that is compatible" is meaningless. That exact statement applies to every computer sold, latop, desktop, or netbook.
Your claim that "desktops are boat anchors" that are "not very protable" are humorous at best. When it comes to gaming and game compatibility, a desktop will always be a better choice than a laptop.
Your anti-virus recommendation is not very useful. There are other anti-virus products on the market that are tested to be better than Trend Micro. No solution will give perfedct protection. To claim that all other anti-virus solutions will leave the user unprotected is completely false.
You claim you were "hacked" because your "cursor moved" without you moving it, when this phenomenon is a know issue with the Microsoft audio control bar; it is enabled by default and can cause the issue you describe with certain sound cards.
Your claim that Norton allowed you to be infected is also misleading. Chances are whatever infection you had would not have been caught by Trend Micro, either. FWIW, Norton has won far more editor choice awards and top ratings from reviewers than Trend Micro. I am not arguing which is better...just stating a fact.
In short, although you are a fan of Asus laptops and Trend Micro, it does not mean either is the best choice for the OP.

Looking for a new desktop

As most of us know, World of Warcraft is getting better graphics in the upcoming expansion. I'm worried that my desktop now (which can barely play the newest expansion) won't be able to play the upcoming expansion, thus I am looking for a new desktop. Not an amazing one, but just a good one with nice RAM, and a good processor. I'm looking around EVERYWHERE to find the best prices on desktops, and I was hoping some of you could make some reccomendations to me on to what desktop I should buy?
I want a low-medium priced desktop (200-1000$)
I want that desktop to be able to play World of Warcraft (and the upcoming expansion) well
I want at least 4G of RAM
I want at least a speed of 2GHz speed of the processor
These are the specs of the current expansion :
PC System Requirements
OS: Windows XP (Service Pack 3), Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
Processor:
Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 1500+
Recommended: Dual-core processor, such as the Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 X2
Memory:
Minimum: 512 MB RAM (1GB for Vista users)
Recommended: 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista users)
Video:
Minimum: 3D graphics processor with Hardware Transform and Lighting with 32 MB VRAM
Such as an ATI Radeon 7200 or NVIDIA GeForce 2 class card or better
Recommended: 3D graphics processor with Vertex and Pixel Shader capability with 128 MB VRAM
Such as an ATI Radeon X1600 or NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT class card or better
Sound: DirectX-compatible sound card or motherboard sound capability
These will increase however, so I hope I've given enough information for people who might be able to help me!

BUT. If you don't know what you're doing/aren't tech/hardware savvy. I don't recommend doing it.
I agree. If you don't already know where to find parts at good prices (BB sometimes has good deals but rarely on individual parts. In some cases their RAM prices are more than 3-4 times the price of other reputable sources of RAM.), you probably don't want to assemble a machine. (Note: You might have a friend who is comfortable with such things that can help you.)
I get my individual parts from the same place RealGeorgeW does.

Looking for a new system working with the adobe creative suite

Hello everybody,
i was 6 years happy with my asus notebook series x55s for what I paid around 1000 €.
I worked until CS5 with it but now it is getting a little slow and I am looking for a new system.
I am considering buying an Imac such as
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC814LL/A/refurbished-imac-27-inch-31ghz-quad-core-intel -core-i5
but I never bought an apple computer, I am just used to edit on one from work and school
or
buying an Asus Laptop again (f.g. the Asus N56VM)
http://www.cnet.com/laptops/asus-n56vm-ab71-15/4505-3121_7-35544410.html which I found for around 900€
and a screen with 27 inch such as the Samsung Sync Master P2770 (around 250€)
I am mostly editing Full HD material from the Ex1 and DSLR on premiere CS5 and 6.
Since I am not that technically expert I would like to have some opinions/ suggestions of you regarding
my thoughts.
I would like to spent up to 1600 €.
Thank you so much!

Looking for a new monitor...

Hey,
I know this isn't exactly directly Photoshop related, but I'm not sure where else to ask.
I'm a graphic design student and I have recently realized that my monitor is absolutely HORRIBLE for this field.

I'm looking for a new one. Since I'm a poor college kid :(, something around the $300 price range would be ideal.
If you know of a good one that fits this general price range, please let me know.
Thanks!

That happens to be an excellent monitor. If you're having issues it may
be that you need to calibrate it.
I can assure you that you won't find anything better for $300.
