Is there a way to prevent Software updates to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?

Hi everybody!
Is it possible to prevent Mountain Lion to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?
I'm using an iMac with Mountain Lion at work, and for my printer to work, I need to keep an older version of xerox drivers (newer versions are not supporting some features we're using at a corporate level). Is there a way to tell software updates to stop asking me to update those drivers? I would love to use the "update all" feature without having to continuously reinstall old drivers...
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely
Neff

Thank you Barney-15E, I tried to right-click and hide this update and for the moment everything appears to work just fine. I'll let you know if the update request pops-up again at the next software update.

  • Is there any way to set Software Update to ignore a particular packages?

    If Software Update identifies a new version of something which I don't want to install, is there any way of making it ignore that update when it checks next time.
    It's not unusual for minor updates to include no security fixes, no fixes for defects which affect me and no additional functionality. In these cases I'd rather not update but I haven't been able to find anyway to stop Software Update from prompting me to install the same version every time it checks.

    Thank you for the reply.
    That menu item just sets Software Update to ignore that particular version does it? I did spot it but the dialog which it opens says "You will no longer be notified of new versions of this update." which is not a very clear message but "new versions" made me think that clicking "OK" would make it ignore all future updates for the component and not just the particular version I want to skip.
    Sorry, maybe my original post wasn't very clear that it I just want to skip versions I don't see a need to install, not permanently ignore certain apps/components.

  • In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

    I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

    Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

  • I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update.  Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

    I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone.  Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

    Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
    Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
    That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
    BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

    Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
    Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

  • Is there any way to prevent web.xml from any change ?

    hi all,
    we have a filter in web.xml. Now we want to prevent it from any change in future. I mean after making a war(EAR) no one can change the filter in web.xml. if he chaged it then he will not be able to re deploy the application.Right now it is in web.xml so one can easily change it and then he can redeploy the application.
    Is there any way to prevent web.xml from any change after making EAR(WAR)?
    One can easily make a change in web.xml and redeploy the application to get the result. Now we want to restrict the web.xml as java class for any change after making EAR(or WAR).
    Could some one help me to do this?
    thanks,
    dinesh

    I think you could use some third party software to lock the folder like FolderLock, just make sure others ppl cannot access your file should be fined.
    This is my stupid solution only,cheers.

  • Is there a way to prevent an Airport Extreme from dropping an inactive device

    I have the latest Airport Extreme with the latest software versions. Connected wirelessly are 2 iMacs, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, and a printer.
    Is there a way to prevent the AE from dropping an inactive device?
    If any of the normally connected devices are inactive for several hours, they have to reconnect to the AE. It does not seem to cause any problems with the iMac's other than a nuisance but the iPads and iPhone occasionally seem to have a problem and it can take several minutes to reconnect to the AE.

    Set dhcp reservations for each device. Beyond that there is nothing you can do in the AE to stop the device dropping out.. it is an issue on the client not the AE.
    But something is wrong for it to take several minutes to connect.
    What device in your network is the router? Is it the AE? (BTW the latest AE is not gen5 as per your profile.. but Gen6).
    If the main modem is also a router and you have the AE setup in bridge, then all controls are in the router.
    Some routers are set with a limited number of DHCP addresses and it will take time to expire one address for another to join.. check if that is the problem. But setting dhcp reservation as I suggested should fix it.
    No luck.. then loads more info on the network .. modem.. make and model.. what role it has in the network.. ie is it also router?
    AE setup?
    Is the problem new or has it been ongoing since an upgrade to something.

  • After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

    After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name?

    if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait.  if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses.  as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether  (unless you use them again).  Have patience, it will go away.
    Or do the update....

  • Trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings, About, there is no option for Software Update..

    I am trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings >> About >> there is no option for "Software Update" .. what else can I do?

    4.4.2 was the last update.  Now, in the same section look at Build Number.  Mine says VS98026A.  If yours ends with 26A, you are current.  The last update was for HD Voice called Advanced Calling 1.0.  Our next over the air or OTA update will be sometime next year, probably near March.  The G2 is already getting 5.0 Lollipop in Poland and is rolling this way.  We will get it, but even though Google has released the source code and update to manufacturers, Verizon still has to test, add to it and approve it, then roll it out over the course of a few weeks or months. 

  • Program is launching firefox automatically when it closes, is there a way to prevent this?

    A game, upon closing opens up firefox automatically and goes to a website. Is there a way to prevent this from happening some how?

    This is entirely controlled by the game software and cannot be prevented by Firefox. Try changing the game settings.

  • Is there a way to download the update from OS X Leopard 10.5.8 to OS X Snow Leopard or do I need an install disc?

  • Is there a way to prevent psd from being the default file extension?

    In previous versions, psd was added automatically if the document was layered. Since I don't use psd, I had to manually change to tiff.
    But I'm finding that even flat (unlayered) files that came in as jpgs have psd inserted as the default. I would have thought that, by default, a file could stay whatever it started out being. (Whether jpg or tiff, flat or layered).
    This happens when I "save as" even when I don't change the name of the file, only save it in a different location (such as a jpg file from a flashcard being saved to computer).
    Is there a way to prevent the extra step of rejecting psd? Is there a preference or something I have missed?

    Although the little camera I was using doesn't capture 16 bit, I did run the jpgs briefly through ACR to try out the shadows/highlight feature since the photos were perfect candidates. My preference there is to convert to 16 bit ProPhoto so maybe--even though the files opened as jpgs. That might be the problem: maybe bit depth is the trigger for psd assignment. Still, I wish there was a way to disable it.

  • Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

    Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

    Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start
    No
    he OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present.
    How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?
