Installing Leopard, without printer Drivers

I have found that the drivers for printers that come with Leopard take up a lot of disk space. Since I don't need all of the drivers, and printers come with their own drivers on the startup disk, how do I not install them when I install leopard from the dvd disk. Newbee to Mac.

When the Installer programme ask you to choose the volume that you want to install on, there is an option to choose what you want to install. Just check off the things that you wish to skip.

  • Windows 7 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers

    My HP Pavilion p7-1297cb pc which is running windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers. All my windows updates are current, HP print and scan doctor did not fix it, I also tried MS fix it manager and did not work.  When I try to use my HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus installation CD or HP's download center, software almost installs, but says print drivers will not install.  Also, I tried using USB connection and windows tries to install software, but does not work.  Same for HP print driver support.   I tried installing 3 different HP printers I had and all had the same issue. Any ideas on why my system will not allow any print drivers to install?

    Hi rrfhp,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand none of the HP drivers will fully install.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Are you signed in as the Administrator of the computer?
    I would turn off all start up programs to make sure there isn't something blocking the printer.
    Click on start, in the search box type in run, enter, then type in msconfig, click OK.
    Click the Services tab.
    Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
    Click Disable All, and then click OK.
    Then click on the start up tab at the top.
    Click on disable all.
    Reboot the computer.
    Temporarily turn off any Antivirus software.
    Then run the installation again by right clicking on the setup and selecting run as Admininstrator.
    Don't connect the USB cable until prompted.
    Try printing now.
    Then go back into msconfig and enable the All Microsoft Services and enable all on the start up tab.
    Turn the Antivirus software back on again.
    Please let me know the results if you are still having issues.
    Are you getting any error messages?
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a nice day!

  • How do I install dell v305 print drivers on my new macbook pro?

    how do I install dell v305 print drivers on my new macbook pro?

    Dell's drivers are only for Windows. If you can find out who makes the printer and what model it is, then you may be able to find OS X drivers for it. Or you can see how well it works using the Generic driver.

  • Installing additional 32bit printer drivers on Windows Server 2008R2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to add additional printer drivers (32bit) on a 64bit server so that 64bit and 32bit clients can add printers from the print server. I have found several posts about this and none has helped me so far. I found one from GeorgeLawr that
    I copied below:
    I have found the best way to do this is:
    Install the printer/driver for the type of device you are installing on the server, i.e. Xerox printer WCP7765 and driver for this printer (64-bit).
    Share the printer out (optional).
    Test print to make sure it works ok.
    Then from a 32-bit client (must be logged into the client with an account that has admin rights on print server), browse the printer server shares, i.e. go to "Start\Run" and type \\printservername\ then go to "Printers and Faxes" right-click
    and select "Connect" for the required printer and it will say it does not have the required drivers and will ask if you want to install.
    Install the required 32-bit driver and it will install on the print server. You then have to enable this in the printer properties.
    In the print queue window that opens up after you install the queue, go to "Printer\Properties\Sharing\Additional Drivers" and enable the "Intel Windows 2000 or XP" option (note, if you are doing this from a Windows 7/Vista client you might
    have to click "Change Sharing Options" or something, before you can click "Additional Drivers" option).
    And that's it. You should now be able to go to a different 32-bit client and add the printer and print no problem.
    This one gets me closer to an answer; however, on step 5 once it asks for driver path, I direct it to the CD that has the driver and I get a message that states something similar to "this driver is not correct for this version of Windows"
    It's like it's looking for 64bit drivers and the drivers on the CD are 32bit. The printer on the (64bit) server is already installed. I'm on the 32bit client.
    Can somebody help me get this correct?
    Thanks,
    MC

    Hi,
    We can add drivers for client computers running 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows.
    To add client printer drivers to the print server
    ==================================
    1. Open Print Management.
    2. In the left pane, click Print Servers, click the applicable print server, and then click Printers.
    3. In the center pane, right-click the printer to which you want to add additional printer drivers, and then click Manage Sharing.
    4. Click Additional Drivers. The Additional Drivers dialog box appears.
    5. Select the check box of the processor architecture for which you want to add drivers.
    For example, if the print server is running an x64-based edition of Windows, select the x86 check box to install 32-bit version printer drivers for client computers running 32-bit versions of Windows.
    6. If the print server does not already have the appropriate printer drivers in its driver store, Windows prompts you for the location of the driver files. Download and extract the appropriate driver files, and then in the dialog box that appears, specify
    the path to the .inf file of the driver.
    Note: You might not be able to extract some printer drivers without installing them. If this is the case, log on to a client computer that uses the same processor architecture as the printer drivers that you want to add to the print server, and install those
    printer drivers. Then use Print Management from the client computer to connect to the print server, and add the additional drivers from the Additional Drivers dialog box. Windows automatically uploads the drivers from the client computer to the print server.
    For details:

  • Windows 7 pre-installed generic HP printer drivers

    I have a Photosmart C7250. When I plug it into my machine, Windows 7 (release client) autmatically finds drivers for Photosmart C7200 series. Some of the functionality of my 7250 is not available such as automatic double-side printing. Also, instead of printing one page-per-sheet, it prints 2 pages on one side as if it is supposed to be a booklet.

    You can either wait till the official Win 7 drivers are released, or follow the workaround in the How To Install Printer Drivers in Windows 7 thread, which is stickied to the top of the Win 7 forum here.

  • How to install Leopard without a CD-ROM

    I bought leopard, but my CD-ROM has a part that is jammed. I want to know get leopard without using a CD-ROM. I took it to the apple store but they wouldn't fix it even with applecare, saying that it was physically broken. I don't want to know how to do it with torrents. Would a external drive work?

    Normally an Apple store would not refuse to repair something like that, unless you can't afford the repair, or they don't have the parts, or know how to order them. The fact the optical drive is broken, may mean that other parts of the machine are broken, which could prevent a successful installation from taking place. If you are willing to take the risk that has not happened, see this user tip:

    Of course as suggested, you could get a supported external burner that will install the operating system. Authorized service technicians may charge less than Apple for the repair. Some non-authorized places if out of warranty may also be able to fix it:

  • HT1544 Can I install leopard without install disks?

    I need to re-install Leopard on a friends mac. He has leopard installed atm but he doesnt have the installation disks. Is there someway to create a bootable usb maybe using the current installation? What other options I got?

    How did you intend to do this without a clone or install disks? You can get reasonably clean OSs via a clone and updaters but if you now wish to explore newer OSs my general advice is below.
    Many people are happy with OS X 10.5.8 but if you want to update here is my general advice:
    To get information about your Mac click the apple (screen top left) and select About this Mac. This will give you your OS number. Then click More Info to see which Processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above as these OSs are for Intel only. You can discover more about various Macs at: http://www.apple-history.com/
    The OS numbers and names are:
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
    If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that.
    You can buy Snow Leopard here:

    For details about upgrading this to Lion or Mountain Lion see:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
    In each case check that your Mac complies with the requirements.
    If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of the page.

  • Location to download and install lots of printer drivers?

    We want to allow teachers at a college to checkout Macbook Pros that might be used anywhere on campus with any number of different printers. Is there a way to download a large number of the most commonly used printer drivers so they are already installed and ready to be used? The Macs will be locked down after being distributed, so only someone with an Admin account will be able to install drivers.
    Thanks!

    Probably not, since I don't know of anything else that might use drivers. However, trying to lock down the MBPs so they can't install stuff is a IMO a loosing battle and will just cause immense issues. Give them admin rights and just wipe the machines and restore your baseline installation when they turn them back in. How are you going to handle e-mail accounts and normal software updates? How are you going to handle backups? Have them bring the machines into IT to update them or run their backup programs, most of which require admin authorization? That's unnecessary overhead. They are college-level teachers and not irresponsible students. Treat them as such.

  • Installing Leopard without DVD drive?

    I have an older MacBook that I have replaced with the Air, but now want to use the older one as a music and photo server (given the size of the Air's disk). I want to install Leopard on it, but the DVD drive on the old machine is scrogged. I can think of several ways to do this, but any suggestions as to which of those possibilities works?

    (2) Attach the MacBook to an iMac via firewire. Boot the MacBook in target mode. Put the Installation DVD in iMac drive. Install onto the MacBook.
    For (1), disk images aren't bootable. What you have to do is restore the install disk to a FWHD partition, using Disk Utility. For (2), that'll work as long as the iMac, when booted with the install disk can see the MB's HD.
    However, nerowolfe's comment is the germane one: dual-layer DVD readers/writers are available for under $100 US and that'll make your MB totally usable.

  • Need to install Canon Network Printer drivers on server...?

    I am about to add a Canon PIXMA iP5200R network printer to my intranet via its Ethernet connection. I have configured and tested printing sucessfully from my PowerBook G4 directly to the printer via my intranet after installing the necessary drivers and software from Canon.
    Now I will like to use Mac OS X Server running on my Xserve G5 to manage the printer, and I do have some questions pertaining to this:
    First question: since I don't think Canon supplies any PPD file for most of its printers, do I need to install the iP5200R drivers and Canon IJ Network Utility on the Xserve?
    Second question: is there a Command Line Interface for Printer Setup Utility, or their relevant commands in CUPS, or do I need to use ARD to get the GUI of Printer Setup Utility on my Xserve?
    Third question: after using the GUI or CLI of Printer Setup Utility to setup the printer on the server side, will this appear in WGM when I bring up the window to add a new Print Queue in Print service?
    Fourth question: according to the Apple Print Service Documentation, if I share the Print Queue via IPP (I will only be turning this protocol on) and I have installed the Canon drivers and software on all the Mac (client) computers on the intranet, then I can use specific features of the Canon printer (such as direct CD/DVD Labeling), assuming if the Mac computers select this Print Queue via their Printer Setup Utility?
    Fifth question: this Canon iP5200R printer has the ability to allow only certain computers to send print jobs to the printer via a table of either MAC ID or IP addresses, so if I enable this feature on the printer and limit to print jobs coming from the server only, I should be able to prevent user from bypassing the server to print, assuming I am also locking down the selection of printers in Print Setup using WGM?
    Thank you for reading.

  • Cannot install Canon MX700 Printer Drivers

    I have tried to install from the CDROM that came with the printer, it failed with both the "Easy" and the "Custom" installs, with the error message:
    MP Drivers could not be installed. Click [Start Over] to reexecute the installation process. That also fails, and I decided to break out of the infinite loop of starting over again and again by posting this message.
    I also tried the suggestions as to how to correct installation problems, such as trying to install with an administrator account, and having no other apps running. These did not work; this is good because this isn't Windows after all.
    Furthermore, I downloaded the drivers from the Canon USA site
    http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDeta ilTabAct&fcategoryid=238&modelid=15651&kbpage=yes#DownloadDetailAct
    but no joy with 6.9.3 nor with the CUPS 10.1.2 either. Both report failure with: The following install step failed: run preflight script for Canon IJ Printer Driver. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. I wondered if I was alone with this problem with OS X 10.5.6?

    I think you will find this is not an issue with 10.5.6, but rather something about your Mac setup that is stopping the installer from working correctly.
    Try the following procedure for repairing faulty installations of the Canon drivers.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Highlight the Canon printer in the Printer list and click the minus ( - ) button.
    2. Hold Control key and click in the empty Printers list. Click on Reset Printing System.
    3. Close Print & Fax
    4. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinter folder.
    5. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the Canon driver package file, if one exists. The file name will show Canon MX700 xxx.pkg
    6. Go to Library > Preferences and delete the Canon folder.
    7. Empty the Trash
    8. Unplug the Canon USB cable and restart the Mac
    9. Install the version 6.9.3 Canon driver that you downloaded. You don't need the CUPS v10.1.2 driver or any version on the included CDROM.
    10. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
    11. Reconnect the Canon USB cable. Then open Print & Fax and see if the Canon printer is listed. If it is, try a test print.
    12. If the printer is not listed, click the plus ( + ) button.
    13. Select the Default view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
    14. Click Add to add the printer.

  • Installing Leopard without install disc?

    Hello,
    I have a very old imac, (G4,1.25GHz,768MB) running 10.5.8 Leopard.

    Is there a way to get the os x Leopard to the other imac without the install disc?

  • Failing to install HP L7680 printer drivers on WIN 8.1

    Hi
    I have a Dell Inspiron 14 running win 8.1.  I cannot get the install to work using the 64 bit file OJ_AIO_L7X00_Full_Win_WW_140_408.  Nothing would happen.  I let it run for 15 minutes and still nothing.  I know its running by looking at the task manager.  It usually takes ~ 40% of my CPU time.  Any thoughts?  Is there a place I can see a log file to see any messages?
    Thanks
