Parallel printer finally working using gutenprint, but too slow!

I finally got my HP LaserJet 4 Plus to print through a usb to parallel cable using gutenprint. But it stops and waits after each page. Any way to speed it up?

I suggest you try the alternate USB driver "usbtb."

If that doesn't help, maybe that's the limit of this printer.

IPP printing not working on Mavericks, but got it to work with LPD...

Hi,
Although I've already solved this problem, maybe someone else can use this fix...
I got a new MacBook with OSX Mavericks installed, but I was unable to get my printer to work. It's a Lexmark x203n, available as a network printer. It installed correctly, but printing didn't work. I saw the print job appearing in the print queue, however, the printer didn't respond to it.
On an older system, an iMac, it always worked, and on a Windows laptop I was still able to print, so the printer was not dead. I had already reinstalled my iMac with Mavericks, and the printer was not functioning there as well, so I expected that it was the OS.
When I wiped my iMac, and reinstalled a very old version of OSX (10.6, let it update to 10.6.6.*), I was able to print with it. Investigating the network traffic using Wireshark, I noticed that the older version used LPD, where Mavericks is using IPP.
In the printer settings page you don't see any details, so I couldn't compare them. However, I enabled the CUPS webinterface (on the terminal: $ cupsctl WebInterface=yes), and so the different connection ports. I changed the connection to what it is on the older version of OSX, and got it to work.
Working: dnssd://Lexmark%20X203n._printer._tcp.local.
Not working: dnssd://Lexmark%20X203n._ipp._tcp.local.
Maybe Apple Support can pick this up...
Cheers,
Ties

Please post it on apple.com/feedback to be sure someone from Apple reads it.
The two forms starting with " dnssd:// " mean that you just entered (or found) a different form of the URI to print via Bonjour. Not LPD vs IPP. Apple does need to see this and hear that one worked while the other didn't.

I have air printer that works on iPhones but not iPad 2

I have air printer that works with both iPhones but not with iPad2

Just to build on red_menace's answer a bit...
set MyText to do shell script "ps -A | grep '[M]ac VNC 2.1.app' | awk '{print $5}'"
log "MyText=" & MyText
set content of text field "Dir" of front window to MyText
The log command will write the results of the "do shell script" to Xcode's run log window. If you see the correct output there then you know that part is working correctly and the problem is in the way you're trying to insert the string into the text field. Maybe "Dir" doesn't match the name you've given your text field in IB? Or maybe your text field is contained within another view, such as an NSBox or an NSTabView?
Also, I guess "of front window" should work in AppleScript Studio but I always give my windows AppleScript names in IB and then explicitly specify the window in my scripts. Like this:
set content of text field "Dir" of window "MyWindow" to MyText

On a Macbook Pro, I cannot print web pages with Firefox v 3.6.13. I can print if I use Safari, but no Firefox. Any ideas??

When I try to print, it does not even appear to "connect" to the printer software. Normally, a printer icon will pop up in the taskbar, but this does not happen with Firefox. Also, in Mac, you have the option of saving the webpage as a pdf document. When I try it, it only results in a blank page. The Browser that comes with a Mac, Safari, works fine and prints. Not sure if it's a setting in Firefox or something else.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4+ versions.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
* browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
* browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
* browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 plus has dual sided printing. It is attached wirelessly thru my airport express. I can find no way to print dual sided using most but not all of my applications. When I go to system pref..printers..and check out any of the options

Previous suggestions said after sys prfs..Printers..I should either open the print queues then go to printer setup then chose driver, or go to options & supplies and then do settings, or in some way click the driver and pick the settings. None of the above provides the answer. I am using os x 10.8.

Make sure the printer driver you're using is the correct one. In System Preferences, Print/Scan, select your printer, and see what it says under "Kind" on the right-hand side. If it's anything other than the exact model of your printer (if it just says Airprint, or Generic something), you need to delete the printer and add it back in using the correct driver. You may have to download the official driver from HP, but it should work automatically.
Other than that, I'm not sure what else to try. The two-sided option should be in the basic printer page for most printers, as far as I know, but you may have to click the "Show Details" button on a print dialog to see it.

Parallels 1918 Finally Works for Me!

Parallels just released another update to their software, and it FINALLY doesn't make my system crash! The software is awesome. If you had issues before, I recommend grabbing this version and seeing if it works for you!
http://forum.parallels.com/thread4631.html

I started seeing success with 1868, but it wasn't until 1910 that I had any real success. Even that build crashed once in a while.
1918 was -rock- solid for me. I ran it extensively with XP and Vista, sometimes at the same time.
1920 came out today by the way (it is RC2, and available on their main website and not just in their forums) and it fixed my last real problem: the sound volume being reset.
1910, 1918, and 1920 have seen a drastic reduction of problem reports for people on the Parallels forums.
1920 is release ready, if you ask me. Parallels works 100% now on my Mac Pro without any KPs or RAM fiddling. I am very, very happy. Parallels is once again viable on the Mac Pro.

Finally working 2.0 but no contacts!

I finally got my phone working again, i had to take it to the apple store.
I came home and synced my phone. Music, pictures, and txt messages all worked.
But i have no contacts.
Any help?

What does the contacts icon provide that contacts from phone icon does not? The two seem to be identical in nature.
They are identical. There had been a lot of feedback from original iPhone users for direct access to contacts (instead of having to go through the phone icon esp. when you don't want to make a call), so Apple responded while keeping contacts also immediately available for calling purposes.
(I hope that's not too confusing? sorry I haven't said it too elegantly...)

Printer stopped working with Firefox but works fine with Safari. We have a MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8.

Our R380 Printer has been working perfectly with Firefox in printing web pages and email. However, now it will not even attempt to print web pages or email. It's like it doesn't even know that a printer is connected.
But when I launch Safari, the printer works great both in printing web pages and email.
How do I get it to start printing in Firefox again?

Define "access the cloud". I can access my iCloud.com account on my 5 year old iMac at work running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. I can download and upload Word documents and Pages documents in the iWorks section of my iCloud.com account.
What do you want to access in "the cloud"?
Snow Leopard would be your next system upgrade and you should be OK with the CS3 applications, and Office 2008. I cannot confirm that the other applications will work.
This is quite old, but take a look or Google the other applications to see if they are compatible with SL.

Sharing printer with PC using bonjour but can't print in color

I successfully shared my HP Photosmart C3100 printer with windows XP, got the test page printed out...but no color. I tried changing different drivers as other threads recommended (Apple Color LW12/660PS, Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600, Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS, Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS, and even the HP C3100 driver. Still can't get the color print out. I print the test page in color directly from Mac with no problem though. Have anybody experience this problem before? Please help....thank you.

Hi AppleForum, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not too familiar with Windows, but is there not something in the Printer Dialog that selects B&W , Grayscale, or Color?

Epson E-Web Print toolbar works with IE but not Firefox 28 on Windows 8 PC

Seems like the Epson E-Web Print toolbar stopped working after the update for Firefox 27. Switched to Internet Explorer and the toolbar works fine.

This from Epson's support site isn't very promising:
<blockquote>Q: EPSON E-Web Print does not work since I upgraded to Windows 8.1. Why does this happen? 
A: '''EPSON E-Web Print is no longer supported by Epson.''' 
Published: October 16, 2013 
Source: [http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=FAQ&oid=216556&prodoid=63098723&foid=244208&cat=221235&subcat=214273 infoType=FAQ&oid=216556&prodoid=63098723&foid=244208&cat=221235&subcat=214273]</blockquote>
What did it do? Maybe there's a good substitute.

I have localized where there are something strange happening.
I attach 2 VIs one of which works but not other one. The only difference is that the working one writes data to Writing VI via buffer. When I change buffer to string it doesnt? It doesnt any make any sense to me.. What is wrong?

Query works using RSRT but in using BEX

Hi,
I have a query with 8 custom variables. When I run it in RSRT I get the correct results. When I run it in Bex, the results are incorrect and I can see that the custom variables didn't get to the query.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Suzanne

Hello,
Try to install the latest patches for BEx and see if it still works.
Assign points if it helps,
Diogo.
