Lexmark printers and leopard. compatibility?

have just upgraded to leopard and trying to connect a new lexmark X7550 all-in-one printer. firstly, unable to connect wirelessly, either ad hoc or via a modem, which is annoying but also having problems when connecting directly using a usb. can print pages directly from the computer, such a saved word documents etc.. but when trying to print from pages on-line the browser just quits automatically without printing.
can anyone help?

I'm in the same boat as you.
According to Lexmark the Leopard drivers for this printer will be released on 19th January 2008.
See here:

Note: Lexmark made a mistake on the list and put this printer as X7500 but if you click on it, the page correctly display it as X7550.
Hope you can wait!

Info regarding Diswarrior 4 and Leopard compatibility

I emailed Alsoft regarding Diskwarrior 4 and Leopard compatibility. Here is the response I got.
+DiskWarrior 4.0 will successfully rebuild a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5+
+Leopard installed or a disk that has been attached to a computer running+
Leopard.
+However, some operating system functionality has changed within Leopard+
+itself. As such, there are some compatibility issues when running an+
+installed copy of DiskWarrior 4.0 while started up from Mac OS X 10.5+
+Leopard. Alsoft currently recommends that you do not run DiskWarrior 4.0+
+while the computer is started from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.+
+Instead, to run DiskWarrior, you should start up the computer from either:+
+1) A DiskWarrior 4.0 CD.+
+2) Any disk that starts up in 10.4.x and then run DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+An updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard+
+compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing+
+owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+-- What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4.0 under Mac OS X+
+10.4.x and rebuilding a Leopard disk.+
+All features work as expected with one exception: FileVaults created+
+while started from Leopard are not visible to DiskWarrior 4.0 and cannot+
+be rebuilt (repaired).+
+-- What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4.0 under Mac OS X 10.5+
+and rebuilding a Leopard disk.+
+While not recommended (and discouraged), if you do run DiskWarrior 4.0+
+while started from Mac OS X 10.5 you might encounter some problems such as:+
+1) There is a lengthy delay whenever DiskWarrior is determining which+
+drives are currently attached. This delay is dependent upon the number+
+of attached drives and may last up to 2 or 3 minutes. You will+
+experience this delay when first starting DiskWarrior, whenever a disk+
+is attached or detached while DiskWarrior is running but idle, and+
+whenever a rebuild is completed or canceled.+
+2) You cannot rebuild FileVaults or disk images.+
+3) In step 9 (comparing directories) of a rebuild, the progress bar+
+might get to 100% even though the comparison step is not finished.+
+4) When performing Check All Files and Folders the progress bar might+
+get to 100% even though the check is not finished.+
+5) After rebuilding a disk, DiskWarrior may report that some files or+
+folders have had their permissions changed. This is inaccurate and the+
+permissions have not been changed.+
+To repeat, an updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard+
+compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing+
+owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+-- What about DiskWarrior 3?+
+DiskWarrior 3 and earlier versions are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5+
+(Leopard). Alsoft does not recommend running DiskWarrior 3 or earlier on+
+a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed or a disk that has been+
+attached to a computer running Leopard.+

So, it seems it will work but you need to run it from the disk or if you have it installed on a external drive running Tiger, it will work.

If you open your Tiger Address Book, select all cards, drag them to the desktop, it will make one big "mega-VCF" card with a name like "Alan Adams and 543 others.vcf" Dump that to a flash drive or email it to yourself, then doubleclick on it on the Leopard machine. They will all import just fine into your Leopard Address Book.
Try doing something similar with your iCal data, Open the application, choose your calendars one at a time, and select File > Export. That should make a big "mega-ics" calendar card with a name like "work.ics" or "home.ics, i.e., "originalcalendarname.ics" with all the events of that calendar. Then same drill: dump that to a flash drive or email it to yourself, then doubleclick on it on the Leopard machine.
Both generation methods create text files, which should import just fine into the Leopard applications.

Lexmark Printing and Leopard

Sorry, Id'on speak english.
Desde que he instalado Leopard en mi iMac Intel no puedo imprimir con ninguna aplicación nativa de Apple. Mail, textEdit,aplicaciones de iwork'08, etc. Se cierran inesperadamente cuando intento imprimir.
Espero que Apple solucione pronto este problema.
Saludos y gracias

I don't have access to a Lexmark printer but here's a guide as to what to look for.
When you select print in an application a window opens. If this window has the pointer at the RH end of the Printer line pointing down click on it. The window will expand. You will see a horizontal line with a box on it. As I've been typing this reply in Safari that box has 'Safari'. Click on the arrows and choose something like 'Settings'. The items will differ for different printers. This should then allow you to select B&W or Grayscale. You might have to look around a bit to find the right item to change.
Let's know how you get on.

NX Client and Leopard compatibility

Anybody else use NX ("No Machine") client? It's much like VNC, a desktop sharing program (but it is much faster) that uses X11.
Well, after upgrade to Leopard, it doesn't work very well. Lots of redraw problems for me (on an iMac G5), one Intel MacBook user reports jumbled characters.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Bark!

An update: macoshints.com has a thread on this:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=80129
One user said:
Yes, Apple knows about all these problems with Leopard X11 (please read the FAQs at the top of the page), and they are working hard to fix the bugs.
In separate news, someone reported that reverting to the 10.4 version of X11 solved the problem.
So....I guess I wait.

EZDrummer and Leopard compatability. Has anybody got it to work.

Just got my Mac mini and have been trying to get EZDrummer to work in garageband 08. I open up garage band and use a software track, but when I drop down the instrument generator there is no EZDrummer option anywhere.
Has anybody got this to work? If so what version and am I doing everything right in Garageband?

While I'm not on Leopard (got the disc, still waiting till the coast is clear) I did hit a few bumps in the road w/ EZD initially. I believe I had to update to the latest version, but now that that's cleared up, the program works great. Try dropping an email to Toontrack, their Customer Service is outstanding.

IWork '05 and Leopard compatibility

Hi, I have a G4 mini and I'm looking to upgrade to Leopard. Will my iWork '05 apps still function or do they need to be upgraded to '08?

brianus,
They'll work fine. But there are plenty of other reasons to upgrade.

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

Epson R2400 (and maybe other Epson Printers) and Snow Leopard: A Solution

I installed Snow Leopard over the weekend and everything seemed to go fine, except the re-installation of my Epson R2400. It didn't work. The Epson Web site provides Snow Leopard assistance for the R2400, but it is counter-intuitive. The following will save you time.
First disconnect your printer from the computer.
Second, go to Mac system preferences, Printers and Fax and delete the Epson printer from the list.
Third, put your Snow Leopard disc back in your Mac and when the dialog comes up, select optional installations folder (or something like that--I don't have it open right now). Then check Rosetta and install it.
Fourth, go to the Epson Web site. You need to download a new set of drivers. Here is where it becomes counter-intuitive. You would think you should use the first driver and utility package listed, which is referred to as the Combo package. It refers to Snow Leopard (10.6) and it is the newest one. But you would be wrong using such simple logic. You want what is now the second one driver in the list--Printer Driver v.57, which also meets the system requirements.
Fifth, download v.57, install it, reconnect your printer and it prints just fine (I've only done one print so we will see).
I don't know whether the other Epson high-end printers contain such loopy instructions, but if you are confronted with a choice between a combo pack and a simple one, you might try the simpler one first.
Hope this saves someone some time and aggrevation.
Jack B. Siegel
P.S. This is not a completely new driver written for Snow Leopard--that may come sometime down the road or may not). This, so I am told, is a Power PC driver and Rosetta (as in Rosetta stone) is a utility that translates it so that it can be used on an iMac.
As a consumer, you should hate Epson. They, as has the world, knew Snow Leopard was coming for at least a year. By now they should have had all new drivers and this should have been worked out so that people didn't have to call technical support (a waste of my time and their's). Since the Epson R2400 is discontinued, they apparently don't feel compelled to provide premium service and updates for it. I bought mine about a 1.5 years ago. They should not abandon products this quickly after discontinuing them. As far as I can tell, they come out with a new printer in this price segment every couple of years. I shouldn't have to buy a new printer every two years.
But as I said to myself yesterday as I struggled with the problem: If I can't print, I can't buy ink.

I am sure your advice will help Mac users, however, my comment is on a different front. I remain fascinated at the extent to which Mac users refuse to blame Apple when they have problems with their OS. Many Epson drivers don't work, many HP drivers don't work, Cisco VPN (supposedly built into the OS) doesn't work for some, there are problems with PS CS4 and LR, other are having problems with Parallels Desktop, some are struggling to get AT&T's Laptop Connect card software to function, and Nikon has a warning up to not install the new OS if you want to use Capture NX2. Actually, do a search and you will find lots of complaints. Perhaps instead of just blaming Epson, HP, Adobe, etc., one might want to bring the producer of the OS into the equation. It certainly sounds like Apple was not working with some of its major software partners as closely as they should. It is hardly the case that Apple has a perfect record in this area anyway - there are reasons why there is a 64 bit version of PS CS4 for Vista/Windows 7 and not for 10.X. Of course, at least for companies like Adobe, Epson, Hp, Nikon, etc., they are also pushing to finish drivers and updates for Windows 7. Perhaps Apple should have factored that in when they pushed to beat Microsoft to release.
Leaving all of that aside, anyone who adopts any OS on the date of release 1) needs to do their homework to make sure the stuff they use will work, and 2) should expect that at least a few things won't function the way they want. That is a fact of life for early adopters, and should be considered even more likely to be the case in the middle of a recession that has sucked resources away from companies. Early adoption of any new technology, whether it be an OS, app, new computer, new camera, or things like a blue ray DVD player comes at some cost.
BTW, as a legal user of the Windows 7 RTM, I have found that PS CS4 and LR function exceptionally well and my Epson printer drivers work without issue - none of the apps or drivers have (as yet) even been updated for Windows 7. At least from my perspective, that would suggest that Mac users might want to turn at least a bit to the producer of their OS, and how it handled the development and release of 10.6, before laying all of the blame for problems at the feet of the hardware and software partners....

External hard drive Snow Leopard and Lion compatibility?

I am going to install Snow Leopard on my Mac (so I can then purchase Lion and install THAT into my Mac) but it only has 975 mb of memory left. So, I've decided that I need to purchase an external hard drive so that I can transfer some videos, songs, etc. to create more space on my Mac. My question is, what external hard drive will be compatible with Snow Leopard and Lion? I was going to purchase a Western Digital external but I've heard many problems of it being incompatible with Lion. What's a reliable and compatible brand that I could purchase? I'm looking for an external hard drive that hold at least 500 gb.

I think your analysis is kind of harsh, kurt.
'garbage'? really?
Sure, some familiar paradigms have changed, and change brings pain - or at least, unfamiliarity - but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad.
Of all the changes you mention three things that you consider abominations...
UI changes more in line with iOS. Sure, and this is bad because...?
It's clear that Apple see the iOS as the future, and it makes sense to unify the experience - at least where it makes sense. You don't actually mention which elements you consider bad, BTW.
The scrolling seems to be the one most often cited, but to me it makes way more sense to manipulate the document directly, rather than manipulate a scroll bar that works inversely. I'm not sure what other UI elements you're concerned about.
As for the Save As... issue, the change to Duplicate makes a lot of sense when you understand the concept of automatic file saving and versioning. There's never a need to 'save as' in order to create a point-in-time backup since you automatically get point-in-time backups just by using the OS. The only reason it makes sense to to force a branch and for that, 'duplicate' makes sense. If it bothers you, just read 'duplicate' as 'save as'.
The big break here is that versioning requires application support - the developer needs to add it to their app code - and that creates inconsistencies in the short term because not all apps support versioning. That will fix in time as developers release updates to their apps.
As for bugs, the current release is 10.7.2, so that's two revisions past the original. Any major release (of any applications, not just an OS) is going to have some number of issues and some people avoid any .0 release just for that reason. I think the concensus is that by the time you get to .2 most of the issues have been resolved. Can you point to any bug in 10.7.2 that directly affects you and your use of the OS? or are you basing your statements on outdated material?
In short, every major OS release, from every OS vendor has some number of changes that confuse and upset users, and some number of short-term pain while application developers and users get up to speed. Lion is no different in that respect, and if you look back in history you'll see the exact same sentiment for Snow Leopard's release, and Leopard's, and Tiger's, and..., and..., and...
To call it garbage, though? I think not.

Am i the only one who has a RAZR2 V8 and Leopard with compatibility

I am not able to use my phone modem to access net with my mac, or use the usb at all, or view the extended memory via bluetooth. help please!

I have a RAZR2 V8 (T-Mobile) and Leopard and no luck connecting them with USB. We have a Win XP PC sitting around for when we have to do Windows things (most of the time it's turned off)--Windows Media Player 11 does a good job of getting music files onto the RAZR2.
So you can send files to Windows (I've used real hardware, probably emulation would work too) or go with an iPhone if you don't have the RAZR2 yet or can switch contract/phones without too much hassle/cost. I know neither of these is an appealing answer for most people, the cost either way is significant.
So far I don't know of any Mac programs to transfer files to cell phones--post suggestions if you have encountered any moderately priced shareware or freeware. I also haven't delved into the BlueTooth route, but I've heard that's really slow if it works.

Have you fixed the compatibility with HP printers and Symantec yet for the latest Firefox? I am waiting before installing.

You told me to install the 3.7 version in April. It messed up both my printer and my Norton security. I downgraded successfully. I am waiting to hear that HP printers and Symantec are now compatible. You said this was their responsibility, but it is your responsibility to inform us when you have become compatible with the most common devices, security and other programs. How else would we find out except by bombing our computers by upgrading you?

It seems like Symantec has.Hope this helps-

Software Update for Lexmark Printers

When running software update it shows an update for Lexmark printers. If this software is used the printer does not function. Lexmark recommends manually downloading their latest drivers from their web site. I did and the printer now functions, but software update still shows that a download is required.
I looked at the software update information on Apple's web page and it shows a method to disregard update recommendations, but my software update does not have the capabilities they show.
I would love to get rid of the Lexmark update message.
All other updates have worked including the newest one for Snow Leopard.

I would love to get rid of the Lexmark update message.

How can I get the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver installed on Win7 LC master?

We recently migrated from a Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 print server. When recomposing a linked clone pool with the old 2003 server, drivers were taken care of for the printer when the user printed for the first time after desktop recompose. With 2012, any printer using the Point and Print driver doesn't seem to obtain the driver again from the 2012 server. All of our clients are running Windows 7 which means the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver is not installed in the OS natively.
I apparently need to figure out a way to get this installed on the host image so it trickles down to snapshots when recomposing the linked clone pool but I haven't been able to dig much information on doing this. Does anyone out there have any insight on how to accomplish this? If I recompose a pool now for a user who is using a new Point and Print driver, they get the following message that is resolved by removing the printer from their account and re-adding it:
"The 'Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
I figured the easy solution would be to just install a printer using the Point and Print driver and then remove it...leaving the driver behind (unless it cleaned up after itself). The problem with this is in my testing, even after removing and re-adding a printer that set off installation of this Point and Print driver on the client, any other printer that was using it still required the remove/re-add process in order to work, else I got the same message. That tells me that the driver may be custom for each printer installed?
Color me a little confused. I do NOT like the way that Server 2012 handles printers. I've come across a few other issues as well (such as duplex capabilities not being remember on the print server for a printer) that I never had with the 2003 server.
Thanks!!

I was able to get it to work using your instructions off of here and your other thread
Thank you!

Adobe PDF 9.0 shows up under Printers and Scanners (Mac OS) after re-installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0

- recently re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 on my new Mac (OSX version 10.9.3)
- after re-installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 an icon called Adobe PDF 9.0 shows up under Printers and Scanners
- every single time I want to scan, my printer/scanner Brother automatically chooses Adobe PDF 9.0 as printer/scanner, although my printer/scanner Brother is set as standard printer/scanner
- did bring the issue under attention of Customer Service who directed me to this website

Hi Pieter,
Acrobat 9 has not been tested and is unsupported Mac Mavericks.
You might face compatibility issues with it.

Two HP all in ones won't work, do Lexmark printers work?

Mom has tried literally everything to get the HP 1315 all in one and the HP 1410v all in one to work [under Panther], and the last call to HP resulted in HP telling her that it was a problem that was not due to HP's software.
So, she will be trading the 1410v in for a Lexmark printer/scanner/fax combo tomorrow.
I just wonder if she is going to experience the same problems with Lexmark and it is a problem not related to the printers.
Comments on Lexmark printers please.

Install the HP Drivers from HP.
I installed V9.7.1 from the HP website:
