I have an old (read ancient) Apple Laserwriter 12/640 PS laser printer that I want to print to using my PC (running Windows 7). Suggestions?

I have an old (read ancient) Apple Laserwriter 12/640 PS laser printer - that still prints exceptionally well - that I want to print to using my PC (running Windows 7). Suggestions? While using Windows XP Pro, I used PC MacLan's version 9.01 and it worked beautifully. PC Maclan is no longer in business. Windows 7, however, doesn't even recognize any Apple printers in any of its lookups. Suggestions?

The LaserWriter 12/640 PS is a PostScript Level 2 and PCL5 printer with support for LPD (http://support.apple.com/kb/ta21876). How is the printer connected today? An external cable adapter (such as the Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver Model M0437) would allow Ethernet. Providing that an appropriate printer driver can be found (it may be worth checking whether a universal driver or a driver for a similar HP printer could be used), it should not be impossible to set up LPR printing under Windows 7.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional that I want to migrate to my newer laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded the file 22020134.exe to reinstall it on my new computer and I go through the hops and when I put in the Serial Number it tells me its invalid.

    22020134.exe is the file Adobe say you must download and run to instal Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I went through the  process, the one described in your link, I downloaded the file, ran it, it runs well, except it tells me my serial number is invalid. Now what? Does this mean I now have to discard my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and start again with a $500 purchase? All I want to do is transfer what I have to another computer.  

  • Why won't my iPhone rotate 90 degrees in ios7? It will go to landscape only. I have to place my phone upside down to charge in a stNd I have; I could read the screen in iOS 6 as it rotated that way. Now I can't do this???

    It will go to landscape and then back to right-side-up portrait. I have to place my phone upside down to charge in a stand I have; I could read the screen in iOS 6 as it rotated that way. Now I can't do this. What happened?

    Start with contacting AT&T to see if they can fix it.
    If not, restoring your phone, first from a backup, then as new, would be the next steps.

    The money you are spending is for iCloud storage. The warning you are getting is in reference to storage on the iPhone. You cannot increase the storage on the iPhone except to delete content on the device. If you want to take more pictures, you need to remove some content from the device to create room on the iPhone.

  • I have an image that I want to print – 25" X 36".  I want to use my 8 ½" X 11" printer to do this.

    I have an image that I want to print – 25” X 36”.  I want to use my 8 ½” X 11” printer to do this.  In previous PS programs it was just a matter of setting up a grid using guides and selecting an area to print.  I got the exact portion and was able to tape together the patchwork into the large image.  With CS6, however, this does not seem to work.  When I try “Print Selected Area” I get the wrong size image.  I have tried everything.  Any suggestions?

    Try the HP print App; http://itunes.apple.com/app/hp-eprint/id299531647?alreadyRedirected=1&mt=8

  • I have Firefox 7.0.1 and it has no bookmark transfer feature that I can see. It used to have a Manage Bookmarks but that seems to have vanished. I am trying to transfer my bookmarks from my Imac to my Macbook Pr0 can you no longer do that?

    I have Firefox 7.0.1 and it has no bookmark transfer feature that I can see. It used to have a Manage Bookmarks but that seems to have vanished. I am trying to transfer my bookmarks from my Imac to my Macbook Pr0 can you no longer do that?

    hello,
    It would be 'Bookmarks' > 'Show All Bookmarks' and in the window that appears there is an 'Import and Backup' menu on the top. Click that and then choose 'Export Bookmarks to HTML..'. Now on the other PC it would be the same procedure except for the last, where now you have to choose 'Import Bookmarks from HTML...'.

  • I have an old 4GB Ipod nano and an I-Phone 4S. I only want music to sync to my I-Pod without all the apps from the phone. Can someone tell me how to do this please?

    I'm updating the music in my I-Tunes. I have an old 4GB Nano but I also have an I-Phone 4S. I only want music and nothin else on my I-Pod, how can I get it to sync without all the apps as, obviously the I-pod doesn't have enough memory?

    "Other" is data that the iPod doesn't know how to deal with (but on your nano, it isn't Apps). All iPods have some quantity of "Other" on them. Sometimes Other is corrupt files that cannot be read.
    The usual remedy when the quantity of Other becomes too big, is to Restore the iPod. However, 0.26GB of Other doesn't appear to be very much and I suspect you won't see much change, if any, if you Restore.

  • Configuring an Apple LaserWriter 12/640 Printer to work with Mountain Lion

    I have an Apple LaserWriter 12/640PS printer that works great.  But since LION and now MOUNTAIN LION I cannot connect to it.  Previously I had an ethernet cable going from my D-Link DIR-635 Router to a LocalTalk (AppleTalk) adapter which then plugs into the printer into it's "Ethernet" (AppleTalk or also called the EtherTalk) port.
    OK now I no longer have the D-Link router, rather a new (latest 5th generation) Apple Extreme. More info: my ISP changed some things and the LaserWriter is now "set" on an IP address of:  192.168.0.123  which seems to be out of the range of my ISP allotted numbers – but perhaps I can change that manually by accessing my ISP's modem via the website / setup area??
    BUT I am thinking that since I really only need to print to this LaserWriter from my one MacBook Pro running 10.8.2 Mountain Lion – could I not find either a Parallel to USB adapter or some other (USB to DIN8-"LocalTalk" port)???  I used to have some software and a cable (Parallel to DIN8) for my PowerBook back in 1994 that let me print to a parallel-port only printer back then, seems like yesterday actually…
    The LaserWriter has these 3 ports:  LocalTalk (DIN8 type I think); EtherTalk (not an RJ45 cable!) and Parallel. 
    I also have a G4-733 Mac from 2001 that can startup in OS 9.2.2 -- but I don't seem to find the Printer with that (via the Ethernet cable to the adapter to the EtherTalk port of the LaserWriter printer).  This G4-733 does not have "DIN8" ports - just USB (I believe 2.0 but not certain - USB 2 came out in 1999 so I think this is 2.0 and I can check when I next boot this Mac).  It also has FW400 and SCSI but don't think that helps much for printing.  Ethernet RJ45 of course also.
    Any ideas on what to do here.  Again, it worked before via my current set-up and perhaps the key is just changing the IP address (or enabling this address via my Apple Extreme or via the ISP's modem setup via the web address).
    Hope this is somewhat clear--- think I have most of the information on one page here.  I can run tests, buy adapters or cables if necessary-- have enough cartridges to print another 10,000 pages at least!! 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Stephen,
    Somehow I missed this topic as well. For that printer, you would attract more attention in another area (this one).
    You have a number of options along the lines of what greg sahli suggested. I do not have that exact model LaserWriter, but I have successfully used a wired print server, a wireless print server, and a USB to parallel cable adapter to print from current production Macs to a similar model LaserWriter. All three options worked effortlessly. As long as yours is a PostScript printer, which it is, it should work.
    See this post for details and options: Laserwriter Pro 630, Mountain Lion, and Macbook Pro

  • I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing?  The print quality report is fine in color etc.

    I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white. 
    The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
    Is there a color button I am missing?

    In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
    Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
    Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.

  • Have a jpg picture that I want to print on a cd. Can not find a format for full picture

    Can not find a cd  layout that I can put a full picture that I have on it.  It is in jpg format.  I have a ip2700 printer.

    OK, great!  EasyPhoto-Print EX should have come with your printer. If not you can d/l it from here.
    Here is a screen shot but I sugest you read the manual which you can also d/l from the Canon site.
    Simply click these two places to delete the pre-made layouts.
    Now click here and select the one you want or made previously.  
    Hope this helps you.

  • My partner and I have now both got an apple mac we share the same itunes account but want to use different icloud id's so that I dont get all her documents sync to my computer... is this possible?

    my partner has an ipad and i have a mac book pro... we share the same itunes account (apple id) but believe we can have a seperate apple id for use of the icloud... we do not want each others documents to be in sync with ipad and mac book... help? thanks

    Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
    Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

  • I have a old firefox data file from a computer transfer i did and i want to get all the bookmarked sites i had orginized how can i do this?

    so a while back i transfered my old computer files to my new computer and when i did that i tried getting my firefox books marks added when i did it it just made a file old firefox data. i went into it it has the books marks but the problem is it isnt really readable kinda jumbled up and i wanna know if i can import it to my current one or somehow get it organized so i can at least see them apart or on a note pad just each bookmark on its own line? i added a picture of what it looks like

    Backing up and restoring your Profile should have included your bookmarks.

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
    That looks like a JSON bookmarks backup file, from 11-01-2012. Did you try '''restoring''' that file?
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them#w_using-a-bookmark-backup-file
    Never messed with JSON files other than viewing them on a few occasions out of curiosity. There are no line breaks which make them very difficult to read.
    As far as working with that file in {like} NotePad goes:
    A. use Find / Search for each indecent of a '''"uri"''' string, then "copy and paste" the uri into another text file, and then move on to the next "uri" string.
    B. use a text program where a filter can be set for the "uri" field in the JSON file for a line break or to "scrape out" the "uri"s only for display or export to a list of uri's.
    Or try using an online JSON editor like this, to try to display only the "uri" field.

  • I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

    I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
    Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

    Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
    Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.
