Installed Mac OS 10.6.2 Snow Leopard and OKI C5300n won't print

I updated my IMac to OS X.6.2 and could no longer print with the OKI c5300n. Here's what work for me after 6 hours of trial.
I did add Rosetta from the Optional Installs off the Snow Leopard Install CD.
I went to OKIDATA and downloaded and installed ftp://ftp2.okidata.com/pub/drivers/MacOSX6/OKIDPSUMX6MC.dmg
(X6 PS Driver Update Package v2.1)
I need to switch from manual to auto IP Address Set in the OKI Menu on my printer.
Hit Enter
Arrow down to "Network Menu"
Hit Enter
Arrow Down to "IP Address Set"
Hit Enter
Error down to "Auto"
Hit Enter and "Auto" should stop blinking
Hit Back till you see "Network Menu"
Hit Enter
Scroll to "IP Address" & Write Down this Address.
Hit cancel.
On your Mac Select the Apple in the upper left of your screen.
choose "System Preferences"
double-click on "Print & Fax"
Right-click to "Reset printing system" this will delete all printers and documents pending.
Click "+" to add printer
To get this right I did have to call the 24 hour support at OKIDATA... but Amen, it is all working now...
Click
"IP" Button
Protocol = Line PRinter Daemon - LPD
Address: the IP Address from your printer
Queue: leave blank
Name: what ever name you want
Location: not necessary
Print Using: Generic PostScript Printer

I tried the ftp link. The server is closing the connection unless you supply a user name and password. It appears (at least for now) that you will have to start at http://okidata.com/mkt/html/nf/Drivers.html. Choose your model and supply your name and email address. The page says that this information is optional, but I could not get a download when I did not supply the information. I did not give them my information and try it.

  • Snow Leopard and Canon i9900 won't print . . .

    I get an error code 311 when trying to print to my Canon i9900 under Snow Leopard. I just installed the Canon driver so I am sure I have the latest one. I can print a test page and verify ink tank levels but can't print a photo. I am connected to this printer via firewire. I also have a Brother HL2070N connected to my router and to my Mac via the ethernet connection. Can this be throwing me off?

    I am having the same problem. But I am also having an even bigger problem: when I send a document to print from Adobe CS3 (Indesign, Photoshop), and MS Office 2004, they are getting stuck in the print cue and just sitting there, jamming, and not going through to print. I am thinking this is an issue of incompatibility between Adobe CS3 and Mac OS 10.6.2. The new drivers and the new software updates are not helping.
    I will try a USB cord instead of the Firewire, but do you think this is a software issue?

  • Install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard from USB Drive

    My MacBook Pro (Late 2006 15.4-inch 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) has a SuperDrive that does not work.
    I wish to re-install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, as this is the latest DVD I possess, to wipe the HDD prior to selling.  It has Lion installed but this was done via the Mac App store and I don't want to sell with any links to my account or as an authorised computer.
    How do I boot the MacBook Pro from a USB stick, wipe the HDD and install Snow Leopard?

    You will still need a Mac and a optical drive, a external one will do. To read the disk to put it on a USB, external opticals are not bootable.

  • HT6012 I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.  What do I do?

    I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.   Also to compound the situation everytime I attempt to share to iDVD or iTunes, iMovie quits unexpectedly.    What do I do?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

    I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

    Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
    When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
    Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
    Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
    Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

  • I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and have lost my epson printer software. On Epson Aus. web page there is no upgrade of their software for my printer with Snow Leopard. Can i download a lesser operating system software for printer?

    I have just upgraded to snow leopard and lost my epson printer software. I have checked Epson Aus web site for printer software but they haven't upgraded it for snow leopard. Am i able to download software for a lesser operating system then snow leopard or do i have to purchase a new printer? The model is stylus photo R310.

    Have you tried the R300 or R320 software? Typically the software covers a broad spectrum of printers, often providinbg overlap to cover "relatives" of a series.

  • Can I install Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on my new MacBook Pro?

    Hi all, I'm user of Mac since lot of time and I`ve got a question. I have bought a Macbook Pro on September 2011 and it cames with Lion and no installation disc. Can I downgrade this Macbook Pro with Lion preinstalled to Snow Leopard with SL Retail disc?

    Not with a retail disc — it doesn't contain a recent enough version of Snow Leopard to boot the machine. You'll need to obtain duplicates from Apple of the discs that would have been shipped with your machine before the release of Lion. Call Customer Relations at the number below and ask to have them sent to you for a small fee.

  • Snow Leopard and aftermarket HDD (won't install on WD3200)

    I figured this out last night and thought I would post a word of caution. I have a Macbook with a WDC WD3200BEVT HDD. I had originally cloned my stock HDD to it and therefore never needed to go through a real install routine. When I tried installing SL last night, I got the restart and, when it asked me where to install SL, the option screen was blank! I checked disk utilities and only saw the DVD drive; the HD wasn't showing up at all. Called Apple support who tried a number of different things (check SMART status; GUID formatted; etc) to no avail until I remembered that this was not the 'stock' HDD. I then put it into a firewire enclosure and ran the install which was successful. The HDD is back in place and all is working well.
    A word of caution, the install took one hour (over FW400) and the computer was unresponsive for at least 20 minutes of that (blank screen, no light on front, little to no HDD activity). I almost turned it off 2-3 times but gave it time in the end which was the right thing to do. Just wanted this info out there for anyone else with an upgraded HDD. I can confirm others with this same drive are having the same issues (via macrumors).

    Again, you need to install the Lion Server Admin tools when you are using Lion or Lion Server as your platform, and these tools can administer Lion Server as well as recent Snow Leopard Server configurations. 
    If you want to use Screen Sharing (or if you're using older SL or Leopard or earlier), then that too is an option.
    Or run a VM and guests with the tool version(s) required.
    Mac OS X Server Admin Tools 10.7.3 (DL1488)
    This cross-version compatibility is (was?) documented by Apple, but I don't immediately see that detail in the current release notes.  I am using these tools to manage a mix of 10.7.2, 10.7.3 and 10.6.8 servers from Lion client boxes.

How long will it take?  thanks

    Start iTunes.  Make sure you really are running the version you think you are.  Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

  • Epson Artisan 810 and Snow Leopard and Photoshop....Print quality??

    I'm a little lost to be honest. I'm not sure where my problem is...Photoshop, Epson, or Snow Leopard
    I'm using Photoshop CS4 to edit my photos. I've constrained my cropping to designated print sizes, thus pixelation changes as well.
    For example to create an 8x10 from a jpeg file uploaded to my computer from my camera (a sony cybershot dsc-w170 if you need to know, which by default upload files as jpegs), here is the following image info:
    3000 pixels x 2400 pixels
    25.4 cm x 20.32 cm
    with a resolution of 300 pixels/inch
    I have the resolution set to BEST and when I print I've tried both document and proof quality (with printer color managment)
    I'm using photo paper, gloss, but not Epson brand paper (don't know how much that might be contributing to the problem, if at all).
    When I go to print my image the quality off the Epson is HORRIBLE.
    Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?? How do I get better print quality?
    There is no option/method of changing the print type (document or photo) on the printer itself, which is obviously made to work best with a PC. So that leaves me with Photoshops options as far as I know.
    Although I don't know if there's a way to change default print quality settings within Snow Leopard, or if I even have to.
    Whatever the case may be...ultimately I need to know the following:
    paper brand/quality matters?
    what program should I be trying to print photos from (photoshop, iphoto, whatever)
    how to manipulate the photo quality within whichever program I should be using
    and anything else important that I may not have thought of
    Thanks so much. I've seen great reviews of photo print quality for this printer, so I have hope that this problem can be remedied....?

    Your printer is supported by the latest update supplied by Apple.
    Cheap paper usually results in cheap looking results.
    I'm using HP paper with a HP printer with a Canon Eos Rebel camera that outputs
    something like 2592 x 1944.
    CS4 handels these .jpgs quite fine.
    I would first buy some premium Epson paper and see what happens.

  • Install boot camp snow leopard and mountain lion

    Is it possible to install boot camp on a 2009 Mac Pro to run both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion? The startup drive is already partitioned. I need to run two different versions of Final Cut Studio (and all the accompanying apps) and this seems the best way to keep them segregated. I know that I can run them both in Snow Leopard, but I have two different sets of Motion templates which need to be accessed.

    Alrighty, I do appreciate your time. I had already tried parallels and that was a huge waste of time. You blow away their support, by the way.
    Just to confirm assumptions before I do this, sorry, I'm an engineer.
    1. The startup drive is partitioned already.
    2. Partition (1) contains Snow Leopard and a user account.
    3. Partition (2) currently contains a media library, does not have an OS on it, and has 232 GB free.
    4. I will install Mountain Lion on partition 2 using the dmg downloaded from the app store.
    5. That partition will then become the startup drive when using mountain lion.
    6. Partition 2 will have its own user account, applications, etc.
    Almost forgot. Do I need to erase and install on that partition or can I simply install? After this I owe you a beer.
