Mac os x lion with HP c309a. Printing to cd not supported. Advice?

I'm runing Mac OS X Lion, v 10.7.2 and I have an HP c309a all-in-one printer. I'd like to print onto a cd. The printer was made to do so and has a special insert for the cd. In previous versions of OS X, it has worked fine. When I use MS Word or Pages to try to print onto a CD, the option is greyed out and is not selectable. I reinstalled the HP drivers for Lion from the Apple support site and nothing changed. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

I don't have a HP printer so cannot confirm this, but with my Canon printer I need to make a couple of settings for CD/DVD printing. Maybe the HP is also expecting another setting to be set so that the CD printing can be selected.
Another thought is that you may need to use a particular HP software to print to CD's on Lion. Were you able to print from Word or Pages onto CD with the previous version of OS X.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with a SSD for system. Restored drive from backup. Now logon password doesn't work. Account password still works. Changing password in user group preferences no longer works to change logon password.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with SSD for system drive. Drive stopped booting, but otherwise appeared healthy. Restored from system backup. Now drive seems to work properly, BUT my logon password no longer works. Password OK for account; can access system preferences, and change user password there BUT logon still refuses to accept password. No luck changing password for that account after adding new administrator account and logging on from that account. Suggestions? Thanks.

If you redirect Accounts to another location (not on the Boot Drive) you need to direct them back there again after a restore.
SystemPreferences > Accounts/User&Groups > ...
... Unlock the lock, then hold down Control as you click on an Account to get access to the Advanced Options pane.

Parallels 5 will not work in Lion. You must upgrade to Parallels 6.

The install icon has this sign on it

You can't install Lion over Leopard. To install Lion, a requirement is Snow Leopard. So you can either upgrade to Snow Leopard first or you can make a bootable Lion install disc and use that to wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion.
So to make a disk would require you to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade to 10.6.8 so you can use the App Store, unless you have access to another computer to download it from with your Apple ID. Remember it is about a 3.4GB download.
Good Luck

Reinstall Mac OS X Lion with saving data

Hello, I want to reinstall Mac OS X Lion with saving my programms, docs and photos. What should I do then? I know that Time Machine backups data with the system. But Ineed to backup my files and then on clear system I want to restore this backup. Please reply with the steps which should I do. And where should I download original Mac OS X Lion image?
PS I bought MacBook Pro with pre-installed Lion.
Thanks in advance.

Yes there is/are.
Removing and rebuilding a malfunctioning Recovery HD partition « Der Flounder
By the way it is NOT self deleting. Something deleted it, you or something else.
Just to check open Terminal and type diskutil list then hit the enter key. If there is an entry for "Apple_Boot Recovery HD" of 650MBs then you do have a recovery HD partition.
Once you recreate the Recovery HD I would do one of 2 things, or both of them.
1) Use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to create a USB thumb drive of the recovery HD file. that way you will always have a way to boot your Mac and do maintenance or Reinstall Lion.
2) follow this link

If you do # 2 you can forget about # 1. But me being me I have both.

Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer dialog are not supported.

I downloaded Indesign CS3 trial and liked everything about it until I attempted to print to postscript and got that message. Nothing I have tried has helped. I have seen in various forums that others are having the same problem, but haven't found any solution offered. I am running Tiger 10.4.10 on a new Intel Imac with 3G ram. This is a procedure I use very often in my workflow, and have never had this problem with CS2 on my PC or other Macs. Is there a solution? I downloaded the .1 update and installed that and it didn't change anything.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
Its the first time Im using print booklet option to save my file. I have the same problem when trying to save as pdf and get the

I CANT DO IT. I tried to follow Melvin Thompson , but when I choose save .ps and open it in preview all I see is independent a4 pages and just the left ones , .. How can I save my file as .pdf ready to be printed in a3 ?
I really appreciate any help.

The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog is not supported.

My client is asking me to save a separations PDF file. But whenever I save it to PDF, a this message pops out: The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog is not supported. I'm using InDesign cs5 and Adobe PDF 9.0. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.6.

What it says is correct, have a look at this post here.

Not a nice answer!
Posting "Check the 'More like this' area" and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless. Hence, for a while, all I would get is versions of this same arrogant message.
Here's the answer so someone else doesn't get locked into the same loop I did:
I just solved my problem, which was the same perplexing message that kept popping up. It happened to be a Time Machine issue. When I installed Lion, apparently the Time Machine had been turned on by the installer because it kept searching for the Apple.com server, to which I'm not subscribed. Prior to the installation I had always backed up to an external HD; not Apple's online service. Searching Apple Support Forums, I found "Troubleshooting Time Machine' and followed the instructions to "reset Time Machine". Now things are back to normal. I hope this is of some help.

I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable as well as the iPod, is covered by the warranty.

hi i am using mac os x 10.5.8 but this os is not supporting few software updates.so how can i get a better version of os?,,this os not supporting google chrome and i tunes 7..

The next Mac OS version os 10.6.
Below is a link to some details how you can obtain that for your Mac.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4368218
After you upgrade to 10.6 and update to 10.6.8 you can buy version 10.8 online at the Mac App Store.
That will provide the basis for any of the latest software you now want.

yes you need the updates and patches.
Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
Clean disk space
Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image

Compatible with quickbooks for printing checks? Driver support

How do I change the font on my 6600 officejet to be compatible with quickbooks for printing checks? When I try to print a check a box pops up and says "Driver lacks full font support". When I went ahead and tried to print the check any way, the wording was way off of the lines.

Hello @Eddy61,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're receiving the error 'driver lacks full font support' when attempting through Quickbooks to your HP Officejet Pro 6600 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you with resolving this error today. Now I did some research and found that this is a Quickbooks error with the compatibility with your product.
I found under the QuickBooks website some steps that may quickly resolve this error for you. You can find the steps here.
From the File menu, select Printer Setup.
In the Form Name drop-down list and choose Check/Paycheck.
Click the Settings tab.
Click the drop-down list next to Printer type.
Select Page-oriented (Single sheets).
Click OK to save changes.
Once the setting changes have been made, please try printing again. Should the issue persist, you can try loading a generic print driver onto your machine. To load the generic driver please follow the steps below.
How To Add An Alternate Driver:
Open your Start screen by either selecting the Windows button in the bottom left hand corner of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard to the left of the Ctrl button
In the Start Screen type 'Devices and Printers' . If the Devices and Printers option doesn't automatically populate, than click on Settings on the top right and then click on Devices and Printers.
In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your HP Officejet Pro 6600 and left click on Printer Properties
Left click on the Advanced tab
Left click on New Driver
When the New Driver window opens just hit 'next' until you see a list of Manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
Select HP as the Manufacturer on the left
Select Deskjet 9800 as the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 doesn't appear than select 'Windows Update' on the bottom left and once the update completes you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit next to complete the New Driver Wizard
Under the Printer Properties window select 'Apply' but don't hit OK
Select the General tab
Rename your printer back to HP Officejet Pro 6600
Hit OK
Lastly, right click on your HP Officejet Pro 6600 one more time and left click on Printing Preferences
Left click on the Paper/Quality tab
Left click on the 'Normal' dropdown for Print Quality on the bottom right and change this to Fast Normal
Hit Apply and OK
Now that the new driver has been successfully added in, please try printing through Quickbooks again to verify if the error message has been resolved .
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Mac Pro 2014 DVD Player -70017 error: VLC OpenGL is not supported

I am setting up my new 2014 Mac Pro from a mid 2010 Mac Pro via VNC (Finder/Go/Connect to Server) as I only have the Apple 30" Cinema display which is connected to my 2010. I was encountering problems:
1) DVD player would never start, giving the error "DVD Player encountered a system error Error: -70017." If you hit OK the message dismisses and DVD player exits. There is a CNET article that states a -70012 error can happen if you don't have an internal drive. This is, of course, true for the 2014 Mac Pro.
2) VLC gives the error when opening a VIDEO_TS file on disk "OpenGL acceleration is not supported on your Mac. Your Mac lacks Quartz Extreme acceleration ....". It does play videos, but they play extremely slow.
After a hour on the line with Apple Support we determined that the problem is VNC . VNC connections disable some drivers. I connected the keyboard and monitor directly to the 2014 Mac Pro, and both programs worked perfectly. With the programs working I then moved the monitor back to the 2010 and tried to resume playback using VNC. The errors returned.
Just wanted to pass this info along in case someone else encounters the same issue.

Same problem here but a slight twist.
2011 iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with DVD player 5500.38.2
2009 Mac Mini running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with DVD player 5500.38.2
DVD rips with RipIt, stored on a NAS.
iMac will play the rips through DVD player.
Mac Mini will not play rips through DVD player, but will play through VLC.
Mac Mini previously worked, but not sure what version OSX it was running then, could have been pre-Mountain Lion.
Curious about what's causing this. It's a bit frustrating!

Replaced bad superdrive with used ifixit model now burning not supported

Hey,
After using our computer as a dvd player for a year or so the superdrive was shot. I ordered a replacement from ifixit. It plays cds/dvds fine but will not burn. When I press the "burn" button in iTunes my computer says NOT SUPPORTED. ifixit sent me a TEAC DV-W28SLA that was SUPPOSED to work in my iBook.
Does anyone out there know if this drive will even work in this computer and if so, how to make it happen. If this were a Windows machine I would try and find a driver online somewhere. But with OS X, I wouldn't know what to do with the driver if I found one!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
(NOTE: the Mac OS X (10.3.9) is just a guess, I have no idea what operating system I have. I can replace a superdrive but software gives me hives!)

How do I print wirelessly from an iPad to an HP 6500 wireless printer (it does not support AirPrint )

If not, post back and include the operating system version on your computer and we'll go from there.
