No Apple response??? Redplum/Valassis will not help either. I searched, using the cups error message and though it is Unbuntu, same error so maybe useful...only problem: details would not display unless I join Unbuntu forum. What a pain to do anything with my Mac or find any help. I honestly regret buying this buggy OS.
Anyway, here is what I found, FYI:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483415
As the old saying goes: when in doubt, consult the manual. The problem appears to be that I added the printer using the KDE Add Printer Wizard. It was automatically given a "socket" URI instead of an "lpd" one. When I:
- altered the printer settings at http://localhost:631 (the CUPS admin page) as instructed in the manual for the printer, and
- copied the PPD file into a second place on the hard drive (as instructed on ubunutuforums, see the link above)
..everything started working.
It's still slower than windows, but I can live with that
Probably a simple fix. Change the socket I.P. to match the printer I.P. like this:
socket://192.168.1.86:9100. The thing I'm concerned with using socket:// is that AFAIK the printer I.P. must not change. In my case I'm able to assign a static I.P. address to the printer but it's something to consider.
I found that the only thing I needed to do was change socket to lpd (and remove :9100 off the end as well). See Solving Ubuntu printer broken pipe problem (DocuPrint C525A) . BTW thanks for steering me in the right direction - very grateful.
Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A)
Posted on November 25, 2008
Are you having a problem with your printer under the latest versions of Ubuntu (perhaps it worked under an older version)? Are you able to print short documents, but not longer, or more graphics-intensive, documents? (e.g. the unfortunate people at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625493). Do they sit there as Processing for ages and then switch to Held? If you have the same problem I had the solution I tried may work for you too. Firstly, check your cups error log:
sudo gedit /var/log/cups/error_log
If you see anything like the following, the solution may be simple:
[Job 201] Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
PID 13359 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket) stopped with status 1!
System > Administration > Printing and right click on your printer, selecting Properties. Settings > Device URI
If you see something like socket://your_printer_ip_address:9100 just change socket to lpd and remove the :9100 off the end. Then click on apply.
Apparently lpd is a more modern protocol which works with most printers whereas socket is more raw (and potentially faster but riskier in a network situation). Somewhere along the line, the default Ubuntu/Gnome setup for networked printers shifted from lpd to socket. Some primitive printers will have benefited whereas a larger number of more modern printers will have suffered.
Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly possible) but the underlying problem could be that socket may make the printer wait a long time for a large file to be processed ready for printing. Some printers, such as the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A, may drop the socket if things take too long to start coming through.
Changing timeout settings might work but lpd is better than socket so it is the preferred solution in any case.
If this works for you, please leave a comment to let others know (ideally with a description of the printer and Ubuntu version). Printer may be relevant if it doesn’t support the direct stream protocol properly. NB I may take a while to let your comment through because of the volume of spam. Sorry about that.
Finally, thanks to sphilli8 for the steer in the right direction at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6245626.

I purchased creative lightroom presets. I see the zip file in my download file and I try to import to LR but it just keeps creating a bundle never giving me the option to import (greyed out). What am I doing wrong?
Try unzipping the file first. I have no idea regarding your level of technical expertise so advanced apologies if this is really basic. A ZIP file is a compressed file containing one of more files within it. To access the files you will need to expand it. If you double-click on it first, it should open up for you. If it does not automatically expand, you can select the files and copy them to a new folder. The copy will unload them into an uncompressed form. Once they have been uncompressed, you should be able to import them.
If the import is still giving you problems, go to your Preferences, click on the Presets tab and click the Show Presets Folder button. You can then copy your purchased presets into the folder shown. You will want to copy them to the User Presets subfolder. -

How old is your battery? This weird trackpad action was the same thing that happened to me when my 3 year old battery started to swell. As it swelled it pressed up on the trackpad and caused all sorts of almost ghost like mouse pointer movements...many all on it's own. The battery itself still held a charge.
I took the battery out and could barely see where it had swelled. I then ran my MacBook Pro with battery out on the MagSafe adapter. No more ghost mouse pointer movements, resizing, dragging, and clicking.
If you can remove the battery DIY, try what I did.
I installed a new battery and everything is back to normal. -

JCOP Tools 3.1.1b: Debugger does not break, what am I doing wrong?
Hey everybody
I'm desperately trying to debug applets using the JCOP Tools 3.1.1b but when I start the applet in debug mode, the debugger does not break on the breakpoints I set. You might know the little ticks that appear on top of each breakpoint bullet in the editor. The strange thing is that these ticks do not even appear.
I tried various versions of eclipse (3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2) and WinXP as wells as Linux. Does anybody else have the same problem or even a solution?
Thanks
Jonashello,
here are few steps you should check:
- when you start the debug session JCOPShell will load the applet into the simulator. You have to first make sure the applet is loaded with debug info. JCOPShell should do that by default, but check on the trace that "upload" command is called with the -d option:
upload -d "G:\glut-wks\JC\bin\helloworld\helloworld.cap" - then JCOPShell will install the applet with the "install" command. At that stage only the install function (and of course the constructor of the Applet) will be called. So breakpoints located in other part of the code won't break. Check the trace because if install is not called no applet code will be running.
- after installation, applet must be first selected to get any of its code running. Use "/select |appletname". If you have a breakpoint at the beginning of the "process" method, it should break. if the Applet is not selected all future APDU will go to the cardmanager, and applet code won't be running.
hope this help :)

HI. I can't seem to create folders to save emails in. I have added (several!) new mail boxes, but they do not appear in the menu on the left of the screen. How can I access/view them? Many thanks
Well, just to confirm the process, open Mail and click on the word "Mailbox" up at the top pf the screen in the menu bar. Then click on "New Mailbox" in the list. In the window that opens, enter the name you want for this new mailbox. The new Mailbox will be located over in the left hand column under the heading there, "On My Mac". If you cannot see the mailbox there, then it is "hidden" under "On My Mac". You will need to hover your mouse cursor over the phrase "On My Mac" and just to the right the word "Show" will faintly appear. Click on "Show" and your Mailboxes under "On My Mac" will appear.
