Is one brand of printer better doing photo work on Macs than the others?
Hi,
I'm still having issues with trying to print photos. Text is fine - photos are an endless source of frustration.
The only program that I seem to have that will allow for printing one sheet of photo paper with 4 different photos on it is PhotoShop Elements. But its print program is telling me that my prints may not be as good because my printer isn't a "PostScript" printer. It's right, my prints are awful. When I pull up my info about my Mac and look at the printer info, it lists a version of PostScript [version (3010.000) 705] so it must be a PostScript printer - but the computer or PhotoShop isn't picking up on that.
I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX620 all in one. A tech guy at Apple told me that all in ones can be touchy.
Those of you who do photo work; Have you found that there is a brand of printer that works better with your Mac? Should I get a photo printer and scanner seperately, instead of the all in one?
I have old photos and slides that I'm wanting to work with so I need the scanner.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Pearl

OSX 10.4 does not appear to install a driver for your printer as referenced by this Apple doc;

You may find drivers to meet your needs here;

Getting more Junk Mail in one Mac than the other
I have two Macs I regularly use: a G5 running Tiger, and a new MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. The G5 gets a minimum of junk mail. The MacBook Pro gets a significant amount. Both junk mail filter settings in Mail preferences are set identical to one another (enable junk filtering - yes, etc.). I can't figure this out. Thanks.
Yes, POP3 mail accounts. I can't understand why this would cause one computer, and not the other, to bear the weight of a majority of the email. I guess one wey is to see if the computer with less email actually never received it, and that it wasn't filtered out. But I honestly still wouldn't know what to do if that happened to be true.

I can no longer access Safari. It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it (Safari) still does not work. I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and Safari is operable. However, Safari on my iphone is not. What is the problem?
That is the way it works. It designed to do that.
In addition to everything else you have to this other person's computer you would have to move your complete iTunes library over also. Only then will it recognize youriTouch.

HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
I am open to questions or suggestions
Thanks,
ChetAfter 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.

Is it possible to open iPhoto twice under os-x lion, to create a photobook on one desktop and to have a look to the photos in full size on the other desktop?
Ok let me ask you IF the IT department of your workplace does NOT want OS X installed on "THEIR" (The Companies) computers because of what they think is some type of security issue why are you trying to go against their wishes and install OS X on a computer that is NOT owned by you.
That could cost you your job.
If you continue down this path you will screw up the Windows install and have to take the system back to the IT department to get it fixed. What do you think they will say at that point?
Do as you like but you would be better off just buying your own Mac computer if you are set on using OS X as your personal operating system. -
please does anyone knows how to delete the "others" on the iphone becuase it take me a lot of spaace and i cant have anything i have 5 GB of othres coan some one help me please?
If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup.

Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?
Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.

Since the update I did from Tiger to Leopard the Print Queue does not work. When I print a document the printer starts to jump up and down on the Dock for more than 5 minutes. Printing finishes and the icon of the printer is still "dancing" on the Dock. If I try to open Print Queue the window does not open immediately but after a long time and I can't see the printing documents that are waiting in the queue. As a result I can't stop or pause or delete a printing document. The same thing happens if I try to open Print Queue from the Print & Fax Preferences' window. The window opens after a long delay and nothing can't be controlled from this window. I forgot to say that the printer icon remains on the Dock and Force Quit is the only option I have when trying to quit it.
I have tried Permissions Repair. Nothing happened. I installed the latest driver. The problem is still there. Only after Reseting Printing System the problem is fixed but until the first reboot. If I restart the computer then the problem appears again and the only thing I can do is to Reset again the Printing System. So, if I want to control the printing procedure, I have to Reset Printing System after every restart!!! Any help???
P.S. I have a Canon iP4500 but I don't think that the printer is the problem because with Tiger I had never face this problem and I have also printed with this printer from a MacBook running Leopard with no problems.1) I tried Print Therapy and after I had repaired Permissions the problem was solved (some permission problems were found) until the next restart.
2) Then I tried to stop and start again the cupsd process and again the problem was solved until the next restart of the computer.
3) Then I replaced the cupsd.conf file with a new one but the app asked to restart the computer and after this the problem was back.
4) Print Therapy does not find any problems neither in the properties of the root user nor in the current user or any other group.
5) Also the verification of the temporary files find no problems.
In conclusion I think that the problem lies in the cupsd process because when stopped and restarted (we can forget that by Repairing Permissions actually we restart cupsd) I have no problem until the next restart of the computer. -

I previously was able to wirelessly ePrint to my HP Photosmart Plus e-All-In-One B210a using both my iPad & iPhone (both run IOS 5.1). For some unknown reason neither one can now print. I keep getting a message that the printer is no longer available. My MacBook continues to print ok. Any ideas?
Reboot everything. Router, printer and pad. If it used to work, it will again. It just lost itself somewhere.

Ipad 2 Print button does not work after 6 upgrade?
Since we upgraded to iOS6, our print button does not work and does not find our printer. It was working fine until iOS6. Called an Apple Technician and he had me reset, which wiped out all of my saved information but didn't fix the print. He then started talking about a restore but the phone line went dead. Has anyone had this problem?
Today's iOS 6.1 update fixed the printer problem.

Try a reset or restart of the device. If it still does not appear on any of the home screens and cannot be found in a spotlight search, restore the device.

The 3-prong AC cable provides for proper gorunding, and will alleviate any "vibration/electrical" sensation on the casework.
