I'm on a network with 2 printers and want to uninstall only one. How do I do it?

I recently added a Lexmark E260dn printer to my network (still want to have my HP 8550 connected).
The printer was faulty so took it back, but want to install another one. How do I "uninstall" just the old info for the Lexmark without losing my HP info?

For username and password, you need to use the username and password for someone that has an administrator account. If you have an admin type account, then just use your username (the short one, which is the name of your home directory) and password.
If not, you need the username and password of someone that does have an admin type account on your computer.
It need not have any relationship to any account used to set up the system or any software on it.
If you can do software updates using your name and password, then you are an admin user. Use your username (the short one, not your full name) and your password.
You can get your short username in Terminal:
echo $LOGNAME

Contact the University's IT dept, they may be able to set something up on the network to allow the ATV to connect without the need for a user name/password.

Replace the Time Capsule with one that has a larger hard drive. Or erase the one you have and start a new set of backups or backup one of the computers to a different backup drive.

How to setup wired network with G4, MBP and PC

Sorry to ask a bit of a stupid question here, but I've never had to network machines together so I'm starting from a knowledge level close to zero.
Situation. Old G4 (733) and new (intel) Mac Book Pro in one room. New PC (Dell) in another room with a wired router connected to internet. PC is also connected to a laserprinter. Hard wire ethernet cable running between the rooms to connect either the G4 or the MBP to the internet. Both the G4 and the MBP have only one ethernet connection. MBP is wireless, as is the PC. The G4 is not.
First off, I'd like to network the MBP and the G4. I believe ethernet is the best way to do this, but if I do that, how would I then connect to the internet? Would I just have a second router in the Mac room with the 2 Mac's hooked up to it and the other end going back to the router that's connected to the internet? I'd rather stay hard-wired than go wireless if at all possible. I do most of my internet work through the MBP, but some must be done through the G4, ie software updates, as the G4 has a lot more programs on it.
Second question, how would I then network to the PC in the other room? It would be nice to move files, photographs for instance, between the Macs and the PC. I'd also like to access the lazerprinter which is in that room, connected to the PC.
Hoping this is a simple question with a simple answer.
Thanks!

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
What you are describing is all possible, but, I am going to assign you some reading. This way, you'll be able to deal with your own particular needs, like a Pro.
The following will get you up to speed on networks, and various hardware needed:
http://www.atpm.com/network/setup/index.html
http://compnetworking.about.com/od/homenetworking/HomeNetworking_Setting_Up_a_HomeNetwork.htm
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/network/
Adding the PC into the network has some special considerations. the following sites have good info for setting up such a network:
http://www.mac-connect.com/
http://www.apple.com/business/mac_pc/tutorials.html
For my needs, I have a switched ethernet network. All computers are connected to the switch, as is the modem, by ethernet cable. This allows computer to computer networking using AppleTalk. With the same cabling and switch, the computers are all able to connect to the internet using DHCP, or, one at a time using PPPoE.
These are all Mac's, but, with some setting adjustments, a PC can also be placed in a similar network.
As well, adding a wireless connection for one computer is possible. This would require a wireless base station to be connected to the switch. The wireless capable computer would then be able to enter the network, and vice-versa. Of course, the settings for all the hardware and software are the key. The settings can have variables, depending on what is connected, and how the connections are made. Another variable is your router/modem, and your internet service providers policies on multiple connections.
Adding the printer depends on the capabilities of the printer. Often, it is only possible to share a printer through a computer. A network capable printer can be connected to the switch, directly, or to a wireless base station, and then shared by all on the network.

It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

I am having major issues with Logic 8 and want to reinstall.

I am having a lot of issues with Logic 8 and want to do a re-install. What is the procedure and what do I need to uninstall first. I need to be careful, because I don't want to affect my Logic 7.
Any suggestions?

What problems?
The first thing to do is trash the preferences. As far as affecting Logic 7, once you install 8, 7 is "forgotten" about. I'm assuming your L8 is a real version, not a "borrowed from the interweb" one.

You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?

If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
Thanks.

Various ways:
Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
Then:
File -> New Smart Album
Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
will find the unwanted 150.

Surprise surprise but we can't see what you are looking at and referring to.
What black background?
If it is black background in the actual photo:
Menu > Format > Instant Alpha > drag the cursor over the colored background you wish to remove

He should be able to. But why can't he buy the eBook? Does he not have access to a Wi Fi signal?

When you restore from a Time Machine back up you can pick and chose what is restored. It is not an all or nothing process. Nor do you have to do the partial restores all at the same time. If days after the first partial restore you find something else you want you can restore just that.

I have an eMac that shipped with 10.4 and want to set it up so that it will run in Classic mode? However, when I launch System Restore it asks me to load the disc marked with teh sinfgle dot but then doesn't seem to run it?

Follow up. I went to the site at the link I refered to and downloaded the recomended
"NetBoot for Mac OS 9." http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1192
The netbook9.dmg needs to be mounted on a PPC Mac as it would not open on a the intel Mac I used for downloading. (Reason - legacy image should be converted.) I copied to a G4 iBook and mounted it then saved the english folder conaining the NetBook.pkg. From there follow the attached picture using Pacifist to extract the NetBook HD folder which contains an OS 9.2.2 System folder.

Depends to some extent what application you're printing from, and what printer you're using, but here's the dialogue box for ⌘P in Firefox -
Note the option to print selection only.
Haven't looked before, but I can't find anything similar in Pages print options.
It does appear in Word though.
