New printer not compatible with my older mac

I had a Photosmart 6510 that stopped working (black ink won't print and message that print heads won't align). Couldn't seem to fix it and gave in to just purchasing a new printer. Got home from the store with my new Photosmart 6520 and was expecting to finally print the backlog of paperwork that's been building up. I couldn't find the correct driver. There are many Photosmart printers but not for the 6500 series. I figured I would then be able to download it from the provided disc but upon loading the disc I find out that my older imac is not compatible. I have OS 10.5.8. How can I get the driver so that this printer works? I didn't want to upgrade my system because I will lose the use of much of my software.

Return the 6520 and get yourself a Officejet 8600 which has the OS 10.5 driver you need.

  • How can I download my iTunes library from my old Mac to my new iPhone 5 without being able to use iMatch. iMatch is not compatible with my old Mac that runs on 10.5.1

    Just got an iPhone 5, and learned that the 100 or more CDs that I had uploaded to iTunes on my older Mac cannot be downloaded to my new phone using iCloud/iMatch. I match is not compatible with the older operating systems. I spoke to a Apple genius, and he said that there is software out there that will do the job. Is anyone familiar with any of these? Frustrated, and need help.

    I regret to say that you need a new computer. That G5, as good as it still is, simply cannot run the required software to be used with the latest iPhones and other software.

  • Printer not compatible with OS X Tiger 10.4? Help!

    Hi there,
    A few months ago I bought a Konica Minolta Magicolour 2400W laser printer (in a panic, was the cheapest available - in order to print my thesis). I have since bought an Apple Mac ibookG4 running OS X Tiger 10.4. Konica Minolta tell me that this printer is not compatible with the Mac and that I can't use it. So, my current situation is that I have a £200 printer that cannot communicate with over £800 worth of new Apple equipment. I am slightly P**d off. I probably should have done my homework but didn't expect a brand new printer not to have drivers compatible with a brand new computer + operating system. Short of selling the **** printer and getting a Mac-compatible one; what can I do? Please help, any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Looking at the Konica Minolta web site it lists only Windows support for this model.
    http://printer.konicaminolta.com/support/currentprinters/mc2400wsup.htm#Drivers
    So looks like the advice was right. The Minolta 2430DL and 2450 network models do support Macs so perhaps that is the confusion.
    The only option looking around is to try Foomatic-RIP for Mac OS X and EPS Ghostscript in order to use the open source driver. Checking the Linuxprinting.org web site there is indeed a working driver for your model.
    However it is only a 'Filter' which will need to be compiled to work with the above. Not a straightforward exercise I am afraid. I have found a recent thread which deals with this exact same model and perhaps you could try it yourself if you feel brave, or perhaps contact the guy posting the request and ask if he can send it if he manages to compile a working version.
    The relevant thread is here:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/macosx-list/2005q4/001449.html
    If you want to have a go here is what you need to get started.
    1. So, firstly go to this web site and read the Usage guide:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/#usage
    You can download the latest version of the required applications on that page too. Follow the instructions carefully.
    Note that it says here that if it is just a 'Filter' then you will likely need to compile it which seems necessary.
    2. Go to this web site and download the m2300w-0.51 driver which also supports the 2400W
    "The m2300w driver is a Linux printer driver for the Konica Minolta magicolor 2300W and 2400W color laser printers. It is intended for being used in conjunction with ghostscript, foomatic and CUPS."

    Good luck!

  • New update not compatible with my computer processor (PPC)

    I have a Mac G4 PPC 1.5GHZ with 1.25G Ram and Mac os 10.5.8
    Used to have FireFox installed on my computer until I made the mistake to try to update the program using it's built in software update feature.
    All went well until I tried to run Firefox after the install was complete. Up comes the message that the software is not compatible
    with my computers architecture.
    Now the install has erased my original Firefox and i cant seem to find a version anywhere that will work on a PPC.
    Can you assist?

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

  • New Keyboard Not Compatible With All USB Flash Drives

    Hi,
    I've noticed that the new super-thin iMac keyboards are not compatible with all USB Flash Drives. Here's an example.
    I have 2 USB Flash Drives. One is a ByteStor 2GB USB 2.0 High Speed Dataferry Flash Drive, the other is a Kingston DataTraveler 1GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Neither of these drives used to work with the previous design of iMac keyboard, giving me the "low power" warning.
    However, the ByteStor works just fine with the new super-thin iMac keyboard, but oddly enough, the Kingston DataTraveler doesn't. Does anyone know why this is? What's the difference? When buying a new USB Flash Drive, how do you know if it's compatible with the new iMac keyboard or not?

    Thanks. Yeah the Kingston DataTraveler works just fine if I plug it into one of the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the iMac. But if I plug it into the new thin Apple Keyboard, it gives the low power warning.

    Anyway, I'll try that new keyboard software update and report back.

  • 10.8.2 Not Compatible with my 2012 Mac Mini?

    I just purchased a Mac Mini to run some hardware in my graphic design studio...I purchased it last week (Nov 2012) and I just got around to implementing it with our equipment.  So I get prompted for an update in the App Store and attempt to update but one of them fails saying I need 10.8.2.  I thought I had the latest...but anyway...I go to update the OSX to 10.8.2 and I get a notification that it is not compatible with my computer?
    Can you someone please tell me why this case?  I would have thought a 1 week old computer would be very compatible with the latest OSX?

  • Firefox 4 won't open on my Mac; says it's not compatible with my system (Mac OS4)

    I read the system requirements for Firefox 4. My mac should be compatible. I had Firefox 3.6? on my mac. Am running Mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded Firefox 4; when I tried to install, it said there was a "newer" version of the software on my machine (but it is/was version 3.6) and asked if I still wanted to proceed. I said yes, thinking Version 4 would replace 3.6. Well, it did this. Now, Firefox is in my apps folder, but the icon has a / sign across it and the app won't open up. Just says it cannot open because it is not supported on this system.... Now what do I do? I can't go back to the 3.6 version because I can't find a version of it to download and I can't open 4. Help! How do I get Firefox back on my computer?

    4.0 needs 10.5 and an Intel processor. <br />

  • Final Cut Express  HD 3.0- NOT compatible with intel I Mac ????

    I just bought a new I MAC running 10.5.2 and for some reason when I try to load Final Cut XPRESS HD 3.0, it loads just fine but when i try to launch, an error window pops up stating this software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. * AGP GRAPHICS CARD. And then proceeds to NOT launch the program.
    Hmmm??? My graphics card is: ATI RADEON HD 2600 PRO. I had the first IMAC 20"(white body) and loaded the same program on that machine. It worked great.
    I will be bummed if this intel thang is what is cutting my feet out from under me.
    Thanks for any help.

    It's on the forum like every other day. Press the escape key to bypass the message. You're using non-Intel software on an Intel machine.
