Need a driver for HP DeskJet 812C to work with Mac OS X 10.8.5

Our Mac (desktop) has OS X 10.8.5 - we would like to use a perfectly fine older printer (yes, it IS older - but cannot afford to replace it at this time). I got so far with a download only to discover that it "no longer works with a Power PC" - isn't there a basic driver to use for the time being so we can print? This printer is a HP DeskJet 812C.
We also have an older HP OfficeJet G85 - we receive the same message about "not working with a Power PC" - is there a generic driver to use either of these printers until we purchase a new one? We are not expecting all the printer features - just print text on paper.
Thanks for advice/help with our problem!

Hi needs_opinion,
Although I would like to help, there is no way of getting either the Deskjet 812c or the HP Officejet G85 to work with Mac OS X 10.8. Now I know you said you are not in a position to get a newer printer at this time, but please consider calling HP. I believe they may be able to help.
The technical department may be able to offer you a disount on a newer model, like a trade in trade up option, or the sales department could offer you a single function low end printer at a good price that will do the simple task of printing.
Here is an example of what could be available, this is from the US shopping webiste, hpshopping.com
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
The only other option is to connect one of the printers to an older operating system. Even if you had an older Windows PC.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Driver for Agfa Snapscan 1212u to work with Mac OS 10.4.11

Since obtaining Mac OS 10.4.11 I've been unable to get a driver that works for my Agfa Snapscan 1212u flatbed scanner. I've downloaded one for OSX from <http://static.agfa.com/digicamscanner_drivers/scanner/snapscan1212u/index.html> but when I try to open it get the message "the file is not a movie". Can anyone help? The scanner itself worked well until with an earlier OS.

The message could be a result of you selecting the wrong file format when scanning or the drivers you downloaded are too old and incompatible with your Mac - even if you are running Tiger.
I suggest you look at downloading and installing [VueScan|http://www.hamrick.com>. Your scanner is listed as a supported model and if you do ever update to Snow Leopard then this software will let you keep the scanner.
One last point. This is the Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) forum. You should have posted this question on the [Tiger (OS X 10.4)|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=756] forum.

Is there a driver for Windows 8.1 that works with HP Scanjet 5500c

Is there a driver for Windows 8.1 that works with HP Scanjet 5500c
Thank you.

Hi,
I afraid you will not be able to use the scanner with Windows 8.1, it is not compatible with the OS.
Regarding VueScan, I afraid it would not be an option as well, the application only support your scanners if there are drivers for the OS:
If there isn't an HP scanner driver at www.hp.com for your operating system, then unfortunately VueScan won't work with this scanner.
You may try using the Vista drivers by running the drivers using the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter as listed below.. select Not Listed from the programs list and browse to the installation file for Vista:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03401961&lc=en#N63

Looking for a back up drive for photos and videos that works with time machine, prefer wireless. Time capsule has poor reviews and already have BT hub

Looking for a back up drive for photos and videos that works with time machine, prefer wireless. Time capsule has poor reviews and already have BT hub that serves as a good router. 3gb or 4gb capacity preferred but 2 would suffice.

Plug a NAS into the BT Hub that does TM. Look at Synology.
You just use the wireless of the hub.
But the cheapest solution is still the TC.

Is there a driver for the PXI-8310 that works with Windows 7?

The only one I can seem to find is for XP.

Hello LouisTI,
Unfortunately there is not a Windows 7 driver for the PXI-Cardbus8310, as this is a legacy device which is currently going EOL (End of Life). The XP driver for the 8310 (which you may already have found) can be downloaded here:
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/370/lang/en
If using Win 7 is critical, we recommend the PXI-ExpressCard 8360 as a replacement for the 8310:

Looking for a serial driver for an agilent 4395A to work with labview

Can only find one for gpib I have no interface for gpib on my PC but i do have a rs232/gpib converter and was wondering if I could get a serial driver for the agilent 4395A for this.
Thanks

I've only used the RS232/GPIB converter to go from a GPIB bus to a serial instrument so I can't speak for going the other direction but I would give it a try. However, you have big problems with the driver if its the same one I just downloaded from NI. It's not really what I would call a driver at all but an application program meant to be used stand alone. There is no breakout of instrument functions into subVIs and none of the controls or indicators are on the connector so you can't even use the high level app as a subVI without a lot of work. It is a contributed driver but I'm surprised NI accepted it because it doesn't follow any of the published rules for an instrument driver. It's not even a good example of program design, imho. There is a VISA dr
iver available from Agilent here and I would try that instead. To use a VISA driver with a serial port, you just specify the VISA resource name for that port instead of the GPIB resource name. For example, a GPIB resource name of an instrument with an address of 5 would be "GPIB::5::INSTR". To communicate to your instrument over com port 1, the VISA resource name is "ASRL1::INSTR". If the instrument has a serial port in addition to the GPIB, you could also try skipping the converter. Some VISA drivers work fine either way.

When you say you cannot add the printer, with the Add Printer pane open, is the 6250 visible in the Default Add Printer view? If no then it could be the USB cable at fault and I suggest you try another cable.
If the printer is visible but the Mac fails to locate a driver when you select it then you may have to trash the contents of the BJPrinters folder (HD > Library > Printers > Canon) and then run the iX6250 driver installer again.

What drivers do I need to install for my MG6360 printer to work with a Mac with OSX10.8.5?

I have a PIXMA MG6360 printer that needs its software updating to return its full features but the Canon support line in Australia has prescribed several different options with no two alike and none providing the full features I once enjoyed. 'Phone and email support responses are all uniformly poor and I cannot get a straight story from any of the technicians I've encountered so far. Currently, they've stopped responding altogether!
I know where to download the latest software, but I'm not clear about which packages I should install and in what sequence and I cannot locate a definitive answer in the knowledge base.
Can someone tell me which drivers etc I need and the sequence in which I should load them.
I'm assuming that I have to uninstall the existing software and printer from the Mac (MacBook Pro 15", Late 2012 with OSX 10.8.5) first. That's about the only thing the techs agree on so far!
Also, does Canon update its software periodically and provide either automatic downloads or email warnings to update its users?
All help gratefully recieved.

With reference to this article from Apple that lists the models of printer drivers available from Apple for Lion and Snow Leopard, there are a couple of HP Photosmart 55xx printer drivers in the list. So if all was well with your iMac then the driver should be downloaded and installed when you connect to the printer. With this not happening you can try installing this HP Driver update. It contains all the HP models in that driver list - that's why its over 500MB - and it may be just what you need to get this printer connected.

Do I need the Internet for iChat? Will it work with just an Ethernet LAN?

is it possible to run iChat between two computers without using Internet? rather simply over ethernet?
for example I have my webcam in one room and I am able to see it on another mac in another room, simply by an ethernet connection?
thanks

Use Bonjour on your home LAN.
Go to iChats prefs/accounts and enable Bonjour on all Mac's.

Is there still no driver for M box 2 that works with Mavericks ?

Still struggling without my M box 2 because Mavericks kills it .
Unbelievable that avid doesn't do anything to fix this .
I think I <will buy Focusrite Scarlet .
Does anybody know when and how Avid will solve this problem ?

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.
Focusrite's drivers did not work with either Mountain Lion or Mavericks. They tried- they really did. They even sent me some beta drivers that they wrote to try to fix the problem. None worked.
Then I just deleted all the Focusrite drivers- and it works fine just with Mavericks and Audio Midi Setup (it's in Utilities).
So you might try that- just uninstall any M box drivers that you have on your Mac and restart.
