Need new ink jet printer for Mac G4 with classic

I've searching for a new color inkjet printer for my G4 with Classic and have found only 1 by Epson, the R800. However, I'm getting different answers from various techs. One said I just need to get a print server. A tech at Epson says it probably won't work for my classic mode if the OS 9 software is booted up with an OS 10 driver. I don't know the answer to this or exactly what it means!!! Most of my printing would be done with OS 9 software. I have been using an HP laser printer and an HP color inkjet on all 3 of my networked Macs with no problem. Can anyone tell me if the Epson R800 will work? Thanks, Ann C

I don't have it, but the specification page says
+Windows 98SE/2000/Me/XP, Mac 8.6-9.2, OSX 10.1.3 or later+
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&in foType=Specs&oid=37472319&category=Products
Plus, there is a driver for Mac OS 9 available for download here

So I see no reason why it would not work.

  • Is there a recommeded ink jet printer that works best with Yosemite?

    I have a new iMac14 with Yosemite.  I'm having all kinds of trouble getting it set up including getting my printer (Canon MX 512) to work as it should.  Is there a
    recommended ink jet printer to use with Yosemite?

    According to this, your Canon driver has been updated for Yosemite.

  • Best Ink Jet Printer

    What would be the best ink jet printer to hook to a airport extreme router with both Mac's and Pc's hooked to it.
    No need for high end printing mostly black & white word documents and a few colour pages for school projects.

    The best one "for what?".
    According to your post, if you're looking to print mostly B&W and some color, basically, any modern printer will do.
    One point that you've to check carefully is the cost of the replacement ink cartridges.
    The very cheap printers (+/- US$ 60.00) usually use one cartridge for the 3 colors (Red,Green and Blue) and one for the Black, and replacement of these cartridges cost almost the price of a new printer.
    The ones over US$ 100.00 have separate cartridges for each color, so, when you run out of one color you'll have to replace ONLY that color, which can amount for a lot of savings.
    If you also would like to print labels directly to the surface of the blank CD's and DVD's, then I would recommend an Epson (there're various models that'll do this).

  • Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

    Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

    Took deliverly of my R2000 yesterday 11/04/2012.
    **** of a job/mission getting to connect wirelessly to OSX Lion, but thanks to the perseverence of Epson support online chat plus ultimately phone call from Epson,the problem was resolved (total 3hours 45mins online chat 45mins on phone) yes i was a gineapig as the R2000 has only been available since March 2012 here in the UK.
    1. Download combo driver/utilities for R2000 Mac 10.6 (works with Lion)
    2. Install latest drivers and Epsonet.
    3. Connect the printer to your wireless router using a LAN cable.
    4. Ensure ink is installed on startup of the printer as the printer wont for some reason communicate without it as all the printer knows is it needs ink.
    5. Ensure Mac is also connected to router.
    6. Run Epsonet.
    7. When Epsonet has found the R2000 click next.
    8. Then click Changes on the following screen.
    9. Select wireless Lan.
    10. Select config manually (the auto will not work with Lion)
    11. Allow Epsonet to use passwords from keychain network name(SSID) + WEP password.
    12. When done you will be prompted to disconnect the LAN from the printer.
    13. Then Click next.
    14. Ensure wireless light on printer is lit if not hold WiFi button on printer for 3 Secs.
    15. If config is successful (it took me Two attempts) goto system preferences/print/scan/Add printer and add the R2000 that ends in IP.
    Hope this helps someone. Epson support is a good enough reason to buy Epson IMO as mentioned with their help it took nearly 4 hours to reach the above solution at no cost to myself and believe you me i was on the verge of returning the printer to the supplier as Wireless printing is a must with a 19 month old child on the loose.
    Thanks Epson/Europe

  • New WD My Passport for Mac - questions!

    Hi, everyone,
    I just bought a new WD My Passport for Mac 1 TB. I am going to use it to run Time Machine and then drag and drop pertinent files that I need. From there, I am doing a clean install of Mountain Lion. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro.
    I just have a few questions.
    1. I read that there are big issues with this and Mavericks/Yosemite. If I ever upgrade, am I am going to lose everything or has that since been resolved?
    2. How do I install it? When I read the manual, I am not sure if I am supposed to install the software (because of issues with point 1), just plug & play, how to do Time Machine, and so on.
    I have another My Passport from a few years back, but don't remember how to set it up.
    If someone can dumb it down for me, I'd really appreciate it. I am looking to do a Time Machine, then drag over various documents, my Music folder, iPhoto Library, Mail exports, and a few other things.

    Thank you again. It's really nice there are people like you willing to give their time to help others.
    An update: My Passport (not named that!) is backing up via Time Machine as we speak. Next step is to copy the files that I need over to the hard drive. I already have on another hard drive, but I figure it is better to be safe than sorry.
    My question for you is basically if there is anything I should try to think about or remember to bring over. These are the things that I use regularly and what I have done on the other drive and will do here:
    - Microsoft Office (mostly just Word): I will reinstall the disk, I have the activation code, and I will drag over all of my files
    - iMovie: I've made one movie, and I like it, and I dragged it over and tested it on another MacBook and know it works
    - iPhoto: I will drag over iPhoto Library
    - Mail: I have exported all of my Mailboxes, will re-import them, and then re-set up my accounts
    - iTunes: I dragged over iTunes Music from the Music > iTunes > iTunes Music folder (?)
    - iCal/Notes: logging back into iCloud should do it
    - Stickies: I know there is a database in the ~library ... do I just drag that over?
    - Chrome: I will download it again
    - my printer: I think I just go to the site to download the driver
    - Airport Express: does that just work on its own?
    - Dropbox: I will redownload it but, heck, I might just drop my account
    - Bookmarks are exported from Chrome
    - iCal is exported, just in case.
    - Contacts are exported, just in case
    I don't THINK there is anything else I am forgetting that I might use regularly and not realize it. Do you have any suggestions of something I might be missing? I do have an iPhone backup I might want to snag (I know it is stored elsewhere...) but I am thinking of wiping that clean, too.
    Should I take note of any specific security or user settings I have (other than basics, like colors and that sort of stuff)
    I am nervous that I will forget something but excited to have a nice, fresh new MacBook and fool myself into thinking I got to treat myself to something new!

  • Laser print for mac book 10.8.2

    Hello,
    i need for my home a wlan Laser Jet.
    Not so a big printer with scan and more. Only print.
    All Laser Jet, not for Mac with 10.8.2 Version.
    Greetings

    I just recently registered on this forum to see if I could help with answering questions from the users here. I did this because I like the apps and aims of Mozilla, and I'm willing to spend time helping people out with using these apps if I'm able to. That being said, questions worded like the one above do not make me want to spend much time being all that helpful.
    My suggestion is that you wait a few hours (or day or so) before posting about a problem that is causing some negative emotional response for you.
    If anyone has the same problem as what is described above, please post more information about their software versions (i.e. flash version), and whether or not the issue remains when taking the flash plugin out of the equation and using HTML5 on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/html5).
    My initial thought is that the issue is with the flash plugin being used. Has another flash version been used?

  • How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac ?

    How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

    You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
    All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
    The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.

  • Does Microsoft Entourage 2008 for mac work with the new Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion

    Does Microsoft Entourage 2008 for mac work with the new Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion?
    I am just about to install Lion just need to check to see if if my work e-mail will work

    Sarah,
    Check this link:
    http://roaringapps.com/app:2533
    It contains some issues that people have encountered with Lion and Office 2008. It appears it can work, but you may have to go through some of the steps a few of the posters there have listed.
    That website also contains a pretty large list of applications and if they will work with Lion.
    Hope this helps! (I am not affiliated in any way with the site linked).

  • Epson multifunctional SylusCX5600 after 10.6.2 install needs new ink weekly

    Installed Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on January 28. Two problems: every time I hit print, the printer makes an awful loud noise and shuts off. I turn it back on, go through the motions, and it prints fine usually.
    Bigger problem: it constantly needs new ink. I hardly print anything! I had changed 2 cartridges mid January. Now I had to change all 4 in the last 2 weeks, and today it tells me my red one is empty and needs changing. There is no ink leaking into the printer or anything, so it must be an error message, but I cannot print if the printer tells me I have to change a cartridge, at $15 a piece.
    Printer driver is Gutenprint v5.2.3 which came with Snow Leopard.
    No problems scanning.
    Has anyone else experienced this and can anyone suggest a fix or workaround?
    I appreciate it as I am going broke changing cartridges here.
    PS I live in Latin America, the CX5600 is not available in the US but the CX 5400 is which is similar.
    Thanks!

    This morning, also the black ink is "out"... which I changed on Friday. Printed 2 pages of text over the weekend... Updated to Gutenprint 5.2.5 but that obviously did not help...

    Question:How do I connect my MacBook Air so my Epson Stylus Color 740i Ink Jet Printer will print?

    First, the Epson Stylus Color 740 (which I assume is your printer) is listed in this article, which is good news:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    So Apple can provide its driver software.
