Need printer driver to use stylewriter 1200 with powerbook 5300ce & OS 8

I just bought an old powerbook 5300ce to use for word processing. it has os 8. I need to find a driver for my black and white stylewriter 1200 so I can print. any suggestions? thanks

It seems to use the Color Stylewriter 1500 driver, according to the document below, which will download the driver when you click on the name of the driver:

How to Reformat the hard drive I use to edit with..."scratch disc"

Today when I turned on my computer I got a strange message on the screen that basically said I need to back up one of my drives and format it asap. It also said the computer couldn't repair it.
This is the HD I use to edit with as my scratch disc with Final Cut Pro.
I am in the process of backing my files up now. One thing I noticed was that some of my files I don't need anymore and wanted to trash them but it won't allow me to trash files! I get an error message when I drag the file to the trash. So I am going to have to back everything up and I guess will have to erase the disc.
I never reformatted a disc before so if anyone knows what I need to do that would be great since this is the drive I used to edit with.
Thanks.

To reformat a hard drive, launch Disk Utilities (in the Applications->Utilities folder) and click on the Erase tab. Select the drive you want to reformat then choose "Mac OS Extended" ... give the volume a name and click on the Erase button.
Once the drive is reformatted, open FCP and assign it as the scratch disk.
However, the drive may be suffering from other problems that reformatting won't fix.

Need printer driver (HP printer) to work with Snow Leopard:

My Imac came with Tiger, and I recently had it upgraged (by Apple professionals) to Snow Leopard, but I need a printer driver for my HP Business Inkjet 1200. I got no help from HP. Any suggestions? (And I don't speak "computer-ese" so please spell it out in easy steps for this dinosaur. Thanks!)

probably my misuse of 'best' - by 'best' I meant one that actually operates properly with full functionality.
I have been using HP for a while and always find that there is one little bit of the app that does not work with Mac and in the past HP have always said 'oh well we don't design for Mac'.
What I want to know is, what works properly ?

Need printer driver for Style Writer 2400

I need a printer for my Power Book G3 running OS 9.0.4. It has a printer extension for a Style Writer 2500. I found a Style Writer 2400 on line and need a printer driver for the 2400 OR will the printer 2500 extension work for the 2400. Also, what is the differnce between the 2400 & 2500 ?

Hi,
According to the text file for the Color StyleWriter 2500 download, the Color StyleWriter 2400 is supported.
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/Printing/StyleWriter/Color_SW_2500_2.2.1.txt
http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html#print
Whenever possible, use the printer extension supplied with the operating system.
It is mainly a print quality (DPI) difference:

Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
- from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
- go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
- go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
delee the PDF port monitor if present
3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
again delete and pdf printer subkey
If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
Copy and pate the following commands in order
1: net stop spooler
2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
3: net start spooler
4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
That should set back the pdf printer.
This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

Need Printer driver for F4240 on Vista

I've been using this printer for years with no trouble. All of a sudden, it stopped working. My system said it needed a driver. For the life of me, I cannot find one. The installation disk that came with the printer does no good. None of the HP assisting utilities does any good for locating a driver. Can somebody PLEASE help me? I don't have time to investigate, purchase, and install another printer. I need a driver for the F4240 now. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums! I see you're having issues regarding your drivers. I would like to help! Do you have any issues making a copy? I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

If somebody is willing to help, I would be so great full.....Thank You...

Hey,
I see you are wanting to install an HP Laserjet 1200 on your Windows 7 64bit PC. I also see that the downloadable drivers are not working for you. Have you tried installing the driver located in the Windows Add a Printer: Windows Update section? For information on how to perform this type of install please read the article linked below.

Let me know if this method successfully installs the printer for you,

Ram,
I have had printing problems too a year and a half ago. I used all printing apis of java and I still find that it is something java lacks. Now basically you can try autosense. To check whether your printer is capable of printing the docflavor use this PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset); . If it lists the printer then he can print the document otherwise he can't. I guess that is why you get the error.
Regards,
Kevin

Need printer driver for Canon imageclass D320

Anyone direct me to a printer Driver for the Canon Imageless 320?
Canon support says none available.
Macbook pro under Yosemite.
thanks

Canon never made an OS X version of its proprietary driver "CARPS" that is used by the D320. And the Canon driver link provided above is just for Canon inkjets - there is no support for your model.
If you want to print to the D320 from the Mac, you would need to install a virtual machine application like VMware's Fusion and then load Windows 7 into the VM.

Printer driver for HP LaserJet 4L with Windows 7

I cannot find the printer driver for my LaserJet 4L in Windows 7. I have a parallel to USB converter cable attached to my computer. I need the drivers.
Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

My Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit system has a built-in driver for this printer model:
I don't know whether the driver is present on a fresh Windows install; it may only have appeared in the list after the Windows Update button was clicked on the above Add Printers dialogue, then waiting (perhaps for several minutes) whilst additional drivers were downloaded, and the list repopulated.
I'd assume that the same might be true of earlier Windows versions as well.

Using SCSI peripheral with PowerBook G4

I have been using an Epson Expression 636 scanner with a G3Blue and White, connecting with a SCSI cable. Now I want to use the scanner with my PowerBook G4 and I don't know how to connect the SCSI output from the scanner to my G4 which has usb and firewire input ports. Is there a special cable connection? Does it need software to format the signal properly? I don't seem to know where to get the information. Epson? Apple? a cable manufacturer? It doesn't seem right to discard an excellent working scanner just because I don't know how to connect it properly. Please let me know if you've had this problem and solved it.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can find a similarly priced scanner to the adapter necessary to add SCSI to your machine, and it will run faster than with such an adapter.
I'd sell the old scanner and get a USB or Firewire scanner.

Can I use StyleWriter II with my notebook?

I have got an old printer StyleWriter II, can I use it with my notebook(not Mac, Windows System XP, AMD Turion Processor)? if can, where can I get the drives and which kind of cables to use to connect to computer and also the power cable?

Years ago I bought some printer simulation software to allow cross platform printing - you would pick an XP supported printer and then print to the simulator - but it was slow and unreliable. New hardware is so cheap that no one wants to write code for legacy ink jet printers.
