Konica Bizhub c250 - NO Tabloid option with MACS

Workgroup environment with PCs and MACS and a Konica/Minolta Bizhub c250. PCs can print to 11x17 BUT the MACs cannot. Downloaded drivers from Konica/Minolta for OS v10.4 BUT you can not select 11x17 page. Created a custom size of 11x17 named "Tabloid" but not selectable when you want to print from the MAC.
Any suggestions or clues??

Maybe an open source driver will work?*

Minolta's printers aren't exactly that common so finding their drivers may be more difficult than let's say HP, Canon, Xerox, or Epson.

Konica BizHub 350 won't print from Mac OS 10.6

I need help with a Konica Bizhub 350 and my Mac OS 10.6. I have downloaded the drivers for 10.6 and 10.4 as recommended, and reinstalled the printer over and over. I get the message, "The print que says "connected to printer," but nothing prints!!! Please advise.

You could be using an IP protocol that is not compatible or enabled in the printer. That often results in print jobs not printing. So remove the current printer from Print & Fax and add again, this time selecting HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol.

Officejet Pro 8600 wireless print option with Mac OSX Snow Leopard?

Hi My 'old' 8600 printer died and I purchased a new one. I did not set up wireless communication with the old printer but am interested in doing so with this new one, or at least having that option.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. The installation CD that came with the new printer says it's for OS X v10.6, Lion or Mountain Lion. Is it compatible with my system?
Thanks!

Hello KelliMK, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are looking into compatibility information. The Officejet Pro 8600 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6. The software disc should allow the full install without issue.
As for the wireless setup, I would recommend following this document on HP Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-One Printer Series - Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or W...
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

Re: Desktop view option with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

After clean istall Lion and back up from time machine I had an issue with my viewing option on the destop files! After setting up the way I want my desktop files (Snap to Grid etc..) although they stay where they are while I am working, however, when log out, shut down or restart the computer back again, I find my destop files (eccept the hard drives) repalced/moved around by themself on the desktop. I thougth the clean install Lion will clear the proplem, but did not. Is there someone who can help with this issue? Thanks

Sorry I can't help with the jumping around, but having lots of desktop icons causes the system to slow down.
Although, maybe they've improved that process a bit.
I think Snap to Grid maybe causing the issue, though. With Snap To Grid off, holding down the command key while dropping will cause the icon to snap to the nearest grid. That may be a workaround until it is fixed.
Hoping that Apple notices the issue will fail. Try providing feedback or using the Bug Reporter in the Apple Developer connection (I think you can still set up a free account to do this).

Driver functionality om Konica Minolta Bizhub c250

My office printer is a Konica Minolta Bizhub c250. I'm trying to install the printer on my new macbook pro running osx 10.6.6. The printer seems to support mac, and I downloaded the drivers from:
http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productname=c250
The drivers seems to install fine, and I'm able to print pages. The problem is that there are no advanced driver settings (two-sided printing, settings for color/greyscale etc).
After installing the drivers I get a window with some settings - I select "duplex unit" but this doesnt seem to do anything.
Is there a way to install this printer with full functionality like duplex-printing, color/greyscale, stapling etc. ?

I installed the drivers you cited and created a dummy printer. The options you want are there--just not in the usual places. In a print window use the pop up menu to look for the various categories of options. For Duplex, look under the Finishing. You will find a check box for Duplex. For Color/Grayscale, use Quality -> Select Color.
I think you will find all the options you need in the print window. You will just have to explore all the various option categories until you find the choices you want.

Cannot set up account track on Konica Minolta Bizhub c250

My problem is that I can't print because I cannot set up my account tracking authentication. I do not have a 'securities' pulldown in my printers 'installable' options.' The only pulldowns I have are...
'Paper Sources'
'Finisher'
'Punch Kit'
'Saddle Kit'
checked box for 'Printer HDD'
unchecked box for 'Duplex Unit'
The driver that I installed (Mac OS 10.5.x - Drivers -Postscript Drivers-Version 3.1.4) was recovered from this website, it is located on the lower quarter of the page:
http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productid=831&fil etypeid=0
I had previously installed the wrong OS driver for this printer, but I believe I have successfully deleted all remnants of that install because when I installed the OS 10.5 driver, additional options were available in the installable options menu, yet none of them were the securities option needed to set up an account track profile.
Any suggestions or specific places where I can find a proper driver, or perhaps get account track to work with the options I have available?
Thank you to anyone who even got through this entire post,
Stefan

Managed to check the driver this morning (sorry for the delay, was out of the office yesterday). I created a printer queue using the C250 driver and as you said, on install you are prompted to select several finishing options, but nothing about using the security feature. However, when I then selected to print a document, the Security menu was present in the print dialog, appearing at the bottom of the other extended features of Finishing, Quality and Setup.
I then changed the setup of the driver options and disabled the HDD setting, thinking that maybe the feature does not appear if no hard drive is in the printer, but even with this setting disabled, the Security menu was still present.
So, I haven't been able to stop the Security menu from appearing in the print dialog. And in response to your question, there is no way of adding a plugin to your print dialog. The print dialog extended features appear because they are listed, or enabled, in the PPD for the printer. When a user selects that feature in the print dialog, then the PDE plugin is called by the print system.
Looking at the C250 ppd, shown below, you can see that the Security feature is listed as a dialog extension, the same as the other three you see in the print dialog.
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C250/PDEs/KONICA MINOLTA C250 Finishing.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C250/PDEs/KONICA MINOLTA C250 ImageLayout.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C250/PDEs/KONICA MINOLTA C250 Setup.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C250/PDEs/KONICA MINOLTA C250 Security.plugin"
So, at this stage I cannot see why your print dialog would not be showing the Security plugin. What protocol did you choose when you added the C250 printer queue?

Konica Minolta Bizhub C250 print issues

I am having some issues with printing to my Konica Minolta Bizhub C250. It will print, but it takes an act of Congress!
In order to print, I have to change the preset to "Standard" and then back to "Color" in order to print. If I just try to hit print, it will show on my screen that it prints (the job disappears), but it never prints (or even makes it to the printer). It does have a security code, and all of that is set up correctly.
Thanks for any suggestions!

You might find that MacCam (http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/) can help with a compatible driver for that device - it's by no means sure, but the MacCam project does support a number of Logitech USB webcams.

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn't need it). I am totally happy with the

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
"the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
and
"the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
Thank you

1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

Entourage Tasks and iCal "To dos" have disappeared during sync with .Mac

All of my “tasks” (both completed and incomplete) in Entourage and "to dos" iCal have disappeared, apparently during a sync with dot Mac. This problem has happened twice in the past two weeks (the first time I lost all of my Entourage “notes” too, but I haven’t put any back).
The tasks show no problems for a week and then all of a sudden disappear from both Entourage and iCal. My calendar and address book (which I also sync) seem not to be affected. Entourage doesn’t seem to offer a way to sync the calendar without syncing the tasks as well.
Here are my questions:
Why did my tasks disappear?
How do I prevent their disappearance again?
has anyone else experienced this problem?
My Entourage database is fine. I’m running Entourage 11.2.3 (which rencently added a feature "sync services" that allows syncing with .Mac and iCal).

I had the same problem and I got my To Dos to appear when I clicked on the To Dos by Priority column header and checked/unchecked the Hide Items outside Calendar View option. (Doesn't seem to make any difference whether it is checked or unchecked ... it displays all of the items ... at least until restart iCal ... then it is a bit unpredictable.)
I also have intermittent problems when I create or change a new Event. Sometimes the change does not appear until I move off the page that I am displaying and come back (e.g. move forward a week in week view and then back.)

How to format Windows drive with Mac OS format

Hello
I have a Windows 160gb internal drive that is formated in Fat32. I am unable to format this drive with Mac OS X 10.3.9 in order to install Tiger 10.4. When I attempt to format using the Mac OS extended (journaled), I receive an error (sorry I didn't write it down) partition error. If I use the Mac OS extended option I recieve an error that the drive can not be unmounted.
How can I format this 160gb drive with Mac OS format so that I may install Mac OS X 10.4
Thank you

Do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

Question about Formatting Buffalo USB 1TB external drive for use with Mac Book Pro Mountain Lion HD

Hi there, Have Mountain Lion HD operating system (not sure if it is 10.8 or 10.8.1. or 10.8.2) and have a Buffalo USB 3.0 1TB hard drive. When go to utilities to try and format with Mac OS extended, following 3 files show. DriveNavi. exe, Slm.exe and Mac. The option to left click and erase menu is not there. Or at least not as shown in all the help videos.
It is USB connection so will take ages but want to use drive to store video footage and also partition to back up Time Machine. ( travelling in South America and no other Ext Drive option available too buy) how much space should i assign to Time Machine when partitioning? Is there anything else i need to think about? as new to formatting. Any thing else i can do to make process of transfering footage to Buffalo quicker?
Final question is if it is finally reformatted am i going to have to spend so long accessing footage from hard drive when back home and editing that it really is not worth if, and i should just write this off as an inappropriate purchase, and try and buy more memory cards and not bother with transfering/storing? Thanks in advance for time spent trying to assist.

Use Apple's Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder to format the drive.
The programs on the drive given to you by the manufacturer is likely backup software (or malware) and essentially worthless, it will be wiped when you format the drive.
I do NOT advise you partition that drive for TimeMachine, rather I advise you not to use TimeMachine at all for your purposes because TM is just a backup, not a bootable drive.
Rather do this.
Get another hard drive that is equal to or slightly larger than your boot drive.
Format the drive in Disk Utiltiy > 1 Partition, option: GUID, Format: OS X Extended journaled, click Erase and move the slider one spot to the right and click Erase. This will take some time as it's going to map off any failing sectors it can BEFORE you lay data on the drive corrupting it.
Next, pay for and download Carbon Copy Cloner, use the default settings and simply clone internal drive to the external drive. this will also take some time the first time.
Next use Disk Utility to Repair Permisisons on both drive. Now reboot the machine and hold the option key down, you can select the external drive clone to boot from!!
You can update the clone the same way by using CCC, but it doesn't take as long, only copying changes.
This is better than TimeMachine as a bootable clone is bootable in case your internal drive fails to boot the machine.
Use the first drive for storage and be very gentle with it while it running, like you should do for all hard drives as they are subjective to shock damage.
The objective with the clone drive is you keep it safe, and not carting it around where it can be more subjective to damage like the other drive will be.
Remmeber you need 2 forms of hardware backup at all times.
Most commonly used backup methods
