Is there a printer that has on-demand auto on-off capability for the mac

Is there a printer that turns on automatically when you select print for a document that works with  a mac. I used to have an old Canon i960 printer with my Windows PC and it was configurable in software for on demand on-off when printing a document.
Does anyone know of one preferably multifunction photo inkjet.
Thanks in advance
Dave

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but a printer must be consuming a little electricity for it to sense and respond to a command to turn on and print. Therefore, I suggest you forget buying a new printer with this feature and simply leave the printer you already have on all the time.
Just a thought!

    Our organization uses an Oracle database hosted on a Unix platform and one of our data processing outputs is a “stuffer” document that has a barcode, and Unix jobs automatically send the document to a printer.
    Is there a way, or does Adobe have a product or solution, to create a PDF version of the document including the barcode, before it’s sent to a printer?

    What format is the document that is printed? Or what technology is used to format the printer? There isn't a standard way of doing things in Unix.

    Hi,
    You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
    In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

    hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto & i movie-all in one as a complete upgrade(and is it cheaper in a "package")  or do i have to install each one three separately?

    Aarrggghhhh, you in Australia, gotcha!
    Merchandise prices are in U$D on all links I posted.
    Amazon does shipping globally - see more here for AU shipping rates (in U$D)

    You can sign up for an account with them, being the largest online retailer in the world, they take all major credit cards and/or PayPal account as well.
    If I were you, Id do some research on Australian online stores for iLife package before going with Amazon, maybe you could find it cheaper there. But given the bad shape the US Dollar has been in, you might also get a better deal with Amazon, because U$D is so dirt cheap these days!
    I got my iLife 11 on Amazon. I buy Apple hardware on Apple's refurbished store, parts on OWC, and software on Amazon

  • Is there a file that has bookmarks

    I want to put my bookmarks from my old computer to the new one

    Hi lemel,
    '' is there a file that has bookmarks''
    ''I want to put my bookmarks from my old computer to the new one ''
    Yes there is.
    * Are we talking about Firefox browsers here ?
    * Are both computers still working & running Firefox ?
    * I assume you have a lot of bookmarks on the old computer and a few on the new one/
    If so
    * Remember it is '''important''' to always backup bookmarks before doing any restore. The standard imports over write and so destroy existing bookmarks.
    **and Sync not a backup service, although the synced backups allow you to consider the 2nd device as a backup.
    #Backup the bookmarks on the old computer as Mozilla(.json) backups<br>Use: Library ->Backup and Restore-> '''Backup'''<br />This type have more information such as tags and overwrite existing bookmarks
    # Backup by exporting the few new bookmarks on the new computer as .html <br />(like on IE favourites)<br/>Use: Library ->Backup and Restore ->'''Export'''
    #* For any future backups use the backup method NOT the export method
    # Restore bookmarks from the old to new computer.
    # Now import the few bookmarks you exported earlier. <br />This type append. Effectively they tack on to the end of the existing bookmarks without overwriting anything.
    #You may wish to backup your complete set now, and after any major editing, then at regular intervals.
    * see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] <br /> & [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    There are methods involving hacking with Files, but it is best to use the above method if possible.

  • I would like to upgrade my OS to the latest version.  I now have 10.6.8 and my machine has 1Gb of memory.  Need 2Gb for the new OS.  Is is possible (and practical) to add memory to a machine that's five years old?

    You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
    OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
    You can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store witht a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
    These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
    OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
    Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
    Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
    Here are instructions on replacing RAM in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://homeoffice.consumerelectronicsnet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=44404
    If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

    Not sure if any of the alternatives to Office (word) for Mac are near the feature set you require.
    There are a few listed here at this page, in some ways aren't exactly like Office or Word; the feature you seek may (or may not) exist. I'd try & see about neooffice compatibility...

  • I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
    A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
    Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
    As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
    Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

    I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine.  I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one?  Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months. 
    Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well?  It is not saved in the cloud.
    Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

    You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
    But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
    These are the steps:
    Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
    Put it in a cheap enclosure
    Connect it the new computer
    Boot up new computer.
    If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
    Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
    If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

    Hello,
    that is a VMM issue.
    If you did not deploy your virtual cluster from a VMM service template, VMM doesn't recognize the configuration.
    Until MS got it fixed, you could use the workaround from system center central:
