Need help how to get G4 mac to print to HP Laserjet 4  w/usb/parallel cable

I have a PowerPC G4 w/OSX 10.4.11 and a HP laserjet 4 connected with a USB to parallel cable,  I cannot get it to print,
how do I fix it ?
thanks in advance

Have you tried going to the "Print and Fax" pane of the system preferences, and Control-clicking into the panel at the left that would normally show installed printers?
If not, do that and if the cursor spins, wait until it stops, and the LaserJet 4 should show up as a Bonjour Printer/Scanner. Then click "+" to add a printer, then "more printers" and then select the HP device, and with any luck it should work.

  • Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Thanks

    Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Here's the example:
    WING
    GAMES
    MAJORITY
    Thanks

    If the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
    That particular page should resemble the following:
    The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.
    To learn how this may have occurred, and how to prevent it from occurring in the future, read How to install adware
    Most so-called "news" websites are nothing more than entertainment outlets that cater to prurient interests, and contain advertisements that leave the user about three clicks away from installing junk. If you decide to frequent those websites, Safari's "Reader" feature helps minimize that exposure.

  • NEED HELP--HOW DO WE NETWORK MACS in 2 CITIES?

    ...for purposes of Web Site Design and accessing files.
    We have a small web design company in New York. My staff person is moving to New Jersey and we both want to access our web site files from one hard drive, located here in New York, so she can continue to work for our company while now relocating to New Jersey.
    We are using G5's/hardware, and Dreamweaver and Photoshop.
    Timbuktu does not work for our purposes. Does anyone know how my staff person in New Jersey can log into our information here directly connecting to our hard drive to make changes and updates to files?
    We thought about her just downloading the files, making changes and then reuploading them again to the Internet; however, the problem we encounter is that as soon as the files are uploaded using FETCH, the Dreamweaver/HTML file turns into an I/E (Internet Explorer) file, and the Photoshop file, turns into a Quicktime file. This makes it so that if we download the files from the Internet to make changes that way, we can then no longer double click on them from the Photoshop and Dreamweaver programs, because they are no longer Photoshop and Dreamweaver files.
    The only way to access files after they have been uploaded, and then downloaded again, is to do a FILE > OPEN while you are in Dreamweaver or Photoshop, and go down through the levels of files to open the file in that particular program. This takes forever when you are working on 100 or more files per day. It also does not remember the folder you are in, so if you go to open a second file using the FILE > OPEN procedure, it starts back at the top; does not go to the folder you were just in when you opened the previous file. This process is very tedious and cumbersome, and does not work in production environment.
    Any suggestions on what work would work well for her to access the files in our office here in New York, while she is in New Jersey? We have tried every Mac Support Rep listed on the Apple Site within 50 miles and no one can come up with anything for us.
    Thanks for anyone's suggestions or help!

    the most transparent way would be to set up an ipsec vpn allowing secure access to your ny system, in effect you would be giving her direct accesss to your lan
    doing this properly requires some work
    at your ny site i'd use a router to support inbound vpn connection as well as your general internet access and firewalling (if your existing router cannot do this you'll need a new one)
    at the remote end, the mac has built-in vpn support, so as long as a compatible vpn router is used then it is straightforward
    an additional benefit of this approach is that you would all be able to use the same vpn to get remote access to your ny network when travelling/at home etc.
    a device like this... http://www.netgear.com/Products/VPNandSSL/WiredVPNFirewallRouters/FVS318.aspx
    ...might be suitable, but if you are not comfortable doing it in-house i strongly recommend discussing requirements in detail with a competent systems integrator, getting things wrong could compromise your security
    as a short term solution to the file type changing on upload/download, if you use zip (or stuffit) to create a .zip (or .sit) archive of the files, then upload the archive, when you download and unzip i think the file type will be preserved

    tehts,
    You must set the environment first:

    import javax.naming.*;
    import javax.naming.directory.*;
    env = new Hashtable(5, 0.75f);
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, URL);
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");

    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, PassWord); //use your own one
    try {

    Hashtable env1 = ctx.getEnvironment();
    System.out.println(env1.toString());
    } catch (NamingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Bruce,
    Out from what I can find on this network card is it not possible to get the mac address without a OS. I would recommend you to get/burn a Linux/Ubuntu live CD/DVD and run a Ifconfig in there.
    Hope it helps you.

  • Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?

    Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?
    I'm developing an application where a file is need to be saved as pdf. But, if there is already a pdf file with same name in the specified directory, I wish to overwrite it. And in the overwrite case, read-only files should not be overwritten. If the duplicate(old) file is opened in windows (Win7) explorer preview, it is write protected. So, it should not be overwritten. I tried to get the '
    FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY' using MS API 'GetFileAttributes', but it didn't succeed. How Adobe marks the file as read-only for preview? Do I need to check some other attribute of the file?
    Thanks!

  • Need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based

    I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

    Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
