Mac OS 10.6 and Lexmark Z517

Hi.
I would like to use the printer Lexmark Z517 with my iMac (OS 10.6.3), but I cannot find related driver.
Any idea?
Thanks
Roberto

Lexmark has a Mac driver but it is not certified for use with OS X 10.5 or 10.6. However, you could give it a try.
If you have installed the Lexmark drivers for OS X provided on your installer DVD, there is a driver available for the 2500 series printers. I would suggest this be the driver you should use.

  • Tiger 10.4.3 and Lexmark X75 problems

    Being a good Mac person I have been religious about updating my software as it becomes available. But somewhere I seem to have lost the ability to use my Lexmark printer utility. Everytime I try to load it, it crashes. I've generated many reports to Apple, downloaded the latest drivers, reinstalled the software after trashing everything "Lexmark" that I could find and still no luck. I don't know for sure when this happened because I don't use it all that often. But without it I can't align or clean the nozzles or even check ink supplies. I'm getting very frustrated and welcome any suggestions.
    PowerBook G4, 17 ,1 GHz PowerPC   Mac OS X (10.4)   Lexmark X75, 3 in 1 printer.

    Also having trouble here.
    I tried installing from the original CD and from the latest drivers on their website.
    The install will not complete, but the scanner does work after going through the install routine.
    So, at this point everything works but the printer.
    I didn't have any trouble with this printer on my rev. A iMac G5 with OS 10.4.0.
    But, what a head-ache getting it to work on my new system with 10.4.3.
    Well, at least the scanner works. The rest of the printer is garbage anyway. Good scanner though
    I've always had trouble with this printer as a printer, so I've just been using it as a scanner anyway. The print cartridges dry up extremely fast, and they don't print many pages. So, with the high cost of keeping it supplied with ink, I just don't use it as a printer.
    Interesting though that now I don't even have the option to try and print with it anymore. No Utility access to align the cartridges (utility just crashes as others said).
    But, I have a nice over-sized bulky scanner
    Here's hoping someone finds a solution....
    Edit:
    I just stumbled onto this link about using the Print Utility under classic to get things going:

  • Ipod Nano and Lexmark printer issue

    Hiya,
    I have a customer who has one of our computer systems with a strange problem with an iPod and Lexmark printer.
    We have inspected the computer hardware itself and find that not to be an issue but when discussing the customers problem over the phone and trying various things, it appears when they have a Lexmark printer installed - IIRC it was a Z517, Windows XP is unable to find the drivers for the iPod nano - even with the driver disc inserted into the drive.
    If he disconnects the Lexmark printer from the computer, and then plugs his iPod back in, Windows is then able to find the drivers fine.
    If he removes the iPod and reconnects the printer, and then reconnects the iPod the problem comes back until the printer is removed.
    I was just wondering if anybody had come across this before and if there was a solution for this? I have been unable to find any previous documentation on this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Thanks for your reply.
    A bit of an update after speaking to the customer yesterday...
    He had his iPod nano replaced under g'tee as he thought there might have been an issue with the iPod itself (this was yesterday). So he got a whole new product package (unit, cables, software...) but he still gets the problem.
    Now when we had the computer back for testing, we also had his printer here. I had plugged in my Nokia N80 mobile, my iPod mini (without iTunes, just as disc drive mode), a USB memory stick, the Lexmark printer (Z517) and a SD memory card in the memory card reader - the problem did not arise what so ever - all functions were working correctly... transferring data between memory devices, printing on the printer - these were plugged in different ways around so that all devices were eventually plugged into the same USB controller at least once together. No whether there is a different power requirement for the iPod mini compared to the iPod nano I am not sure – although I would have thought the Nano would require less?!
    When he plugs in the iPod, it comes up with the usual “found new hardware” message and asks him to install the drivers – in which Windows quickly replies it is unable to find any – this is with the Lexmark printer connected. Now if he disconnects the printer and reconnects the iPod by itself, again, windows has found new hardware and finds the right drivers for it almost straight away so I don’t think there is a power issue as this happens no matter what port its plugged into
    I don’t think it has anything to do with faulty hardware as the printer has been replaced by Lexmark, the iPod has been replaced by the store where he bought it and we have tested his computer tower (at the place of manufacturer) with loads of other devices together and in different port combinations and we have been unable to replicate the fault…
    Only other thing I can think of is there is just a general incompatibility between these 2 products and they just do not like each other, but on searching there does not seem enough “help my iPod does not work due to such and such a device” messages to support this theory.
    Another theory is that it could be the USB chipset on the motherboard of the computer and when these 2 devices are connected at the same time, they go completely mental and start throwing a tantrum – although the motherboard is using the good old Via USB Rev 5+ chips (as reported by Windows)…
    I am at a complete loss!

  • Printing problems with Lion and Lexmark T630

    I have a Lexmark T630 b/w laser printer with USB and IP connectivity.
    With 10.6.8 I could print happily over Ethernet to the printer from iMacs (wired), mini (wired) and MBP (wireless).
    With Lion on one of the iMacs and on the MBP I can't print over Ethernet.
    The print queue shows a job 'Supply levels' in the print queue and does not print.
    The printer is activated and this job appears as soon as I select the print dialog in apps (not actually select 'Print', just opening the print dialog).
    I moved the printer to be USB connected to my Airport Extreme and get the same symptoms, except the 'Supply levels'  job prints a single line of symbols (mainly Spanish characters with some other symbols and ending in 2 smileys. It is always the same set of symbols, so I get this one line of junk on a page and then my print  job prints. Note that the T630 has *never* displayed supply levels in any version of the OS.
    The line printed is below.
    This always happens from the Lion machines and does not happen from the other iMac which is still running 10.6.8, or from a mini which is connected on another network to the network port of the printer.  The mini is also running 10.6.8.
    I have downloaded the latest Lexmark drivers from Apple and also from Lexmark (same version of driver either way) and it makes no    difference.
    I can't find anything on the Apple Support site or the Lexmark support site.
    It definitely looks like an issue with the printing system in Lion - both the phantom job and the activation of the printer as soon as a print dialog is opened.
    Anyone have a fix for this?

    The phantom print job will be a Postscript file to check the printer status. This process has been around since 10.5 but it usually is responded to silently by the printer rather than it sitting in the print queue. If you don't have the Supply Levels menu in Options & Supplies for this printer in Snow Leopard then it would suggest that Lexmark has changed the PPD for Lion.
    So you could try creating another print queue on Lion but this time selecting the Generic Postscript driver included with Lion. This should let you print but provides few options. It it does work then at least you have an easy workaround.
    Another possible fix would be copying the T630 PPD from Snow Leopard and replacing the T630 PPD in Lion. The PPD for both OS's are stored in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources. With the SL T630 PPD copied, you can open the CUPS web page in Lion and select to modify the T630 queue. From this page select the T630 printer and from the next page change the Adminstration drop menu to Modify Printer. You will be prompted for your Mac admin user name and password. After entering these details you see the first page showing the print queue. Select Continue and probably Continue again until you see the page where you can change the printer make and model. Here is also the section to browse for a PPD. Browse to the T630 PPD from Snow Leopard and then press Modify Printer. Now you can see if all that effort was worth it.

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
    I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
    I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

  • New iMac or new Mac Mini... and iPhoto Library separate drive?

    I have a 2007 iMac Intel Core Duo 2.4Ghz (4 meg RAM) with a hard drive in need of repair, according to Disk Utility (and repeated by DriveGenius 3.)  The Repair option is not available.  I have had occasional difficulty with this particular Mac, and this is actually my second hard drive,and it is out of warranty.  I had already planned to replace this computer later this year.
    In attempting to download and install Lion OS, the install failed, and the computer became essentially inoperable.  I was able to use Time Machine to get it back running, but cannot repair what is surely a damaged HD.  Apple Support came to the same conclusion.
    I have become interested in a few goals:  (1) To purchase a Mac Mini along with an Apple Thunderbolt monitor (when available) in order to separate my CPU from my monitor.  (2) I want to separate my media files from a CPU hard drive for safety, for the very problem I am experiencing now.  (3) I want to make my iPhoto library and iMovie library available to my wife – perhaps on an external dedicated drive - for her newer iMac, to various iPhones and iPads, and to two Apple TV units. 
    We have a home network with an Airport Extreme, and several Ethernet outlets.  Both iMac’s currently use Western Digital external drives for Time Machine backups.  I have another external Seagate drove solely for my iMovie files.  I just purchased a Time Capsule 2TB (but have not yet opened) with the idea that this would be where the “shared” iPhoto library resides.
    My questions –
    Would you recommend using a Mac Mini + monitor, or go with a new iMac (my current iMac is my third and the only one that has given me some problems.)  I do not have any specialized use of my computer beyond the common iLife applications.
    I want my photos and videos to be easily available to my family on their Apple devices (I’m the only one with the significant family photo library) and I haven’t quite devised a plan to accomplish that.  Can you make suggestions?
    Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

    Currently the Library is on EHD 1 and you want to copy it to EHD2?
    Connect them both to the iMac. Make sure EHD2 formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)  and drag the iPhoto Library from EHD 1 to EHD 2
    To open either Library with iPhoto 11: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    It will update the Library to the new formats. Remember once you do this the older versions of iPhoto will no longer be able to read it.

  • I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music

    Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
    Must be a verified email address.

  • Two mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch. Sync apps?

    Hi there, between my wife and I, we have two Mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch.  The iPod touch is new- is it possible to get the apps that have already been purchased for the iPhone, onto the iTouch?

    you can use home sharing to transfer media files (incl. apps) between the two Macs. if you and your wife use separate Apple ID's to purchase content, authorize the wife's machine for yours and yours for hers.
    is there a way to make both portable devices work with both macs?
    by design, iOS devices sync with only one library at a time.
    i am hoping the "home sharing" feature will be the answer but so far i have not been able to make it work.
