Incorrect Printing in Classic - Correct in OS 9

I use TopDown as a flow chart program. I can modify the flow charts in Classic & save them. However, when I print the document only text is printed - all the connectors and boxes are not printed. If I try to print to a file the .ps file is grayed out and is not visable from the finder or terminal.
If I start up in OS 9 I can open TopDown and print the document correctly and also print to a file correctly. When I restart in OS X I can open the .ps file in Preview, see it is correct, and save it as a .pdf
For what it is worth I am printing to an HP LaserJet 4050N.
Any suggestions

Hi, Stanley. I find that the shareware "printer driver" (Chooser module) PrintToPDF works nicely for me in Classic mode, enabling me to create a PDF file directly from any Classic application using the Print command. I can then open and print the file in Preview or Adobe Reader. For me, this isn't a workaround for a buggy program or hardware, but merely a convenience when I want to save a file as a PDF rather than in the native format of a Classic program. But it would serve your need nicely if you can't find a cure for whatever ails TopDown.

  • Default printer in classic environment

    After upgrading to 10.4.4 the default printer in Classic is changed to the default printer in OSX.
    If I want to print from a Classic application the first time before the print dialog is displayed I get an error message stating that apple events are not supported or that desktop printing is not installed. In the printer dialog that shows up my appletalk printer with the name I have given the printer in OSX is shown and when I select the os9 name printing is fine until classic restarts.
    How can I select the default printer from wihtin Classic?

    Guys, this should be a software problem with the system, so we should expect it would happen with all printers, with a Brother printer and also with a LaserWriter Pro (10+ years old!) but assuming that Cube does have identical symptoms to Erik there are at least two things going on here.
    What it defaults to should be quite separate from those errors for AppleEvents and desktop printing software 2.0. Those seem to be about whether something is configured corrctly, not about what's selected.
    If this is always solved by reselecting the correct printer, I'd grin and bare it.
    However, with no other symptoms, those errors suggeset a mismatch or misconfiguration.
    Some printers are much more fussy than they should be about the version of LaserWriter, and of auxilliary printing Extensions certainly including PrintingLib. The natural assumption is that the latest version will cover everything, but I've met printers which required downgrades…
    Although I haven't seen this recently, for early Classic some printers needed their 9 drivers installing once while booted in pure 9, then again while running Classic over X - and if that's your case I hope your Macs are old enough to boot in pure 9.
    With or without that, it may simply matter which order 9 and X drivers are installed in.
    Again, are you using third-party RIP software? I don't know that desktop printing software 2.0 refers to anything from Apple and some time ago there was a spate of reports by people using a third-party utility with a name too like that to ignore, which no-one could find anywhere on the web but which turned out to refer to a third-party RIP that did work with 9 but never with Classic.
    Meanwhile my Classic 9.2.2 over 10.4.4 on my G4 DP 1K defaults to the X printer but so does Classic 9.2.2 over 10.4.3 on my Titanium lappie, which seems to indicate this is not a 10.4.4 thing though I don't remember how the G4 behaved on 10.4.3 (and if I'd seen Cube's message one minute later, I would already have started the 10.4.4 updater running on the lappie. Phew!)
    I very much doubt that can be solved: I suspect it's a design fault in the way Classic and X communicate and in my case I change printers so often that again, checking Chooser one extra time is hardly noticable.

  • HT1430 Cannot send email from iPhone 4S ..it keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct and I receive email no problem

    Cannot send email from iPhone...keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct.. I recieve email no problem

    On my own, I discovered the following, which worked (one responder got the solution part correct for Google): For Yahoo, where I just use a standard login with no extra verification, I had to go into Yahoo and change my password. Once I did this, the new iPhone had no problem registering accepting my Yahoo account. I WAS, however, using the correct password and user name all along, for those who did not think that was the case. The problem is on the iPhone software side. For Google, I use a two step verification, and for that, one must go to Google Mail and obtain a specific, unique password, that is designed to work only on iPhones. Hope this helps anyone else with this dilemma.

    My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad did not help.

    I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message.  I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message.  Is there some trick to this?  Very frustrating!

  • How can I add a new printer in Classic?

    I recently re-installed OS X following a printing problem on my iBook G4 which has system 10.3.9 and Classic. All works fine except that I still need to use Classic for one application and to print from it. I have an HP Deskjet 5150 that used to work fine. I can print on it from OS X but in Classic the printer in not in the chooser nor in Utlity Printing Service so obviously I can't select it to try to print. What do I have to do to get the printer in chooser? I also want to put Acrobat writer in the chooser but I imagine it's the same process?
    Please help I've spent a long time on it already without success!

    I've requested a moderator move your thread to the appropriate forum. No action is needed on your part.
    Just for your info, MacBooks can't run Classic, so your question is not as likely to be known the answer to by MacBook owners unless they have had previous experience, or also have machines able to run Classic.
    I've written a FAQ that contains some articles on printing in Classic*:

    Not sure which one will work for you.

    This what I have been trying......  Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
    What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

  • Can you print from the ADF with Officejet Pro 8600 (not plus) & how to print checks in correct order

    Client has Officejet Pro 8600 I(not plus) They want to print payroll checks out of QuickBooks but when they put the checks in tray 1, it pulls the check that is on the top, which happens to be the last check # in the stack.  Is there a way to print where the printer pulls from the bottom of the check stack as opposed to the top. I've looked and can't seem to find the answer. QuickBooks says we should check with HP and change something in the print drivers?
    So I thought it would fix it if they printed the checks from the ADF where I thought I could control if it pulls from the front or back of the stack. When we tried to print from the ADF, it pulled from Tray 1 and we weren't given the option to print from the ADF.   (only Tray 1 & 2...which they don't have the 2nd tray anyway) So does this model, not being the PLUS model, not allow you to print from the ADF. (only scan, copy and fax from the adf?)
    If we can't use the ADF for check printing, then how can we get the checks to print in the correct order.  Meaning, the 1st check # to print should be on the check that is on the bottom of that check stack in Tray 1.  Otherwise they have to count out the exact number of checks & place them in the tray.  Or reverse all of them which is not an efficient either! I hope this makes sense.

    Hi @kceacct ,
    I see that you would like to know how to print out the checks in order. I will do my best to help you.
    The ADF can be used for copying, scanning and faxing.
    From the print driver you can only select the tray that you want to print from.
    Changing Print Settings in Windows 8.
    You would have to load the checks in order from top to bottom in the paper tray, since the printer just pulls the paper in from the top of the stack of paper.
    Have a nice day!

  • I can print in classic but not OSX.

    Fistly, what a great forum! I'm a recent convert to iBooks, have been reading as much as I can on this site to try to become as much of an expert as possible.
    After much swearing I've now worked out how to use my Lexmark Z12 printer. If I reboot into OS9, I'm able to install the drivers from the cd and the printer works.(I've spent many frustrating hours downloading both the OS9 and the OSX drivers from the Lexmark website, but they just do not work when I'm in OSX.)
    This is a bit of a drag as it means having to transfer documents between OSX and OS9 by emailing myself! My question is, if my printer works in OS9, is there no way of printing in OSX with Classic running?
    Also, are there any dangers in switching between operating systems so frequently?
    I should probably bite the bullet and buy a new printer but the one I have works perfectly well and I hate waste!
    Any suggestions gratefully received.
    Brendan

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    From what I can find online, it seems that the OS X drivers for your printer only work through OS X 10.2. Functionality of your printer was broken with OS X 10.3. Printing in Classic is not supported, according to what I've read.
    You may find that buying a new printer is cost-effective if you compare the costs of replacement ink cartridges.
    As far as I know, there is no hazard in switching between operating systems. Apple intended that it be used that way.

  • Printing from Classic on a non-os 9 printer

    Hi...
    I hope you will tell me it will work...
    I have a Samsung CLP-510 printer and there's no printer driver for OS 9. I want to print from Classic (on a Power Book G4). I need to use Classic because my whole invoice software is on this system. (yeah, I know...I know...)
    There's no problem to install de Os X driver, so the printer will be installed on the computer. Will Classic have the printer installed too, even if i don't really install the os 9 driver? Will I be able to print directly from my software in Classic ?
    Many thanks for your help.
    I need to know it before doing all this, that's why I'm asking you all.

    Probelm resolved.

  • Need help printing in classic to hp laserjet 3050

    when I try to print a classic document it can't find my printer. I look in chooser and it's not there. I have both the mac os X 10.3.9 and the mac 9.1. No problems with os X

    Welcome To Discussions sweethart!
    If this HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One is the model, I don't see a driver available for OS 9 on that site.
    Without a driver installed in OS 9, you can't print from Classic.
    Maybe greg sahli, the printer guru, can offer an alternate means.

  • Need help printing in Classic to HP 1510

    I'm helping a person with an early 2001 iMac (500 MHz, 384 MB RAM) who's running 10.2.8 and 9.2.2. She got an HP 1510 all-in-one printer/scanner, and I'm trying to get it set up. I installed the printer software for OS X and for 9.2.2 (while running under 9.2.2) I can print from a 9.2.2 application (like Word for Office 2001) while running under 9.2.2, and I can print from an OS X application, but I can't print from a Classic application under OS X!
    When she tries to print from Office 2001 under Classic, the HP 1510 printer is found under "Page Setup" and "Print" in the Office 2001 application, the print job spools, but the Print Manager under Classic claims no printer is installed, and the Chooser under Classic can't find a USB-based printer under "HP Inkjet v6.6.1". This is where I found the USB-based printer when she was running 9.2.2. She has tried running the Desktop Printer Setup utility under Classic, but it doesn't see the USB-based HP 1510.
    What do I need to do to enable printing under Classic?

    gave up.

  • Printing from Classic Using OS X Drivers

    Shouldn't I be able to print from Classic using my Epson USB printer's OS X drivers (OS 9 drivers don't exist for this model)? I've tried opening the Chooser in Classic, but the printer doesn't show up.
    Thanks,
    Emily

    Go to Chooser (while in a Classic App) and select LaserWriter 8 driver - even if there's no printer on the right.
    When you want to print, the LaserWriter 8 print dialog comes up and you can select your OS X printers in the destination printer pull-down.
    Good luck.

  • I can't print the form correctly in Russian

    Hello I have paid account for FormsCentral. Some of my forms are in Russian. I can create forms, my clients can fill in the forms and I can view the responses on the screen without any problem. But when I try print response or transform in in pdf I get page without Russian letters (only ??????? symbols). Can I solve this problem?

    I can print Russian text without any problem from other apps on my computer (Word, Exel etc). Ok. I'll try from other computer once again, if you think that problem can be in my computer

    It still prints well for me from Chrome on Win XP. Are you able to print out Russian text from apps other than FormsCentral, such as MS Word, other web sites in Chrome or other browsers?
