PostScript Printer Driver like the old Laserwriter 8 Driver?

Hello out there,
I'm searching for a PostScript printer driver similar to the laserwriter 8 driver in the classic MacOS until System 9. This driver gives control about what fonts are included and it can generate EPS graphic files. Maybe someone can also tell me where I can get the standard 35 PostScript fonts.
Best regards and many thanks
Andreas

Bought a new Canon MG7540 printer to replace the old HP A618. When printing vector objects from Illustrator, they look like graphics from dandy (8 bits) ... no smooth, all cubes ... if do raster than print perfectly. Who knows how to treat it? No well to rasterize vector before each printing. OS - MacOs 10.10.

Have you read the User's Guide for that printer? Odds are you will get reasonable prints. However, it is a photographic printer. That said, it should print excellent quality photographic files. To get smooth lines in Illustrator, try Preferences > Use Anti-Aliased Artwork. That will smoothen the output. If, for some reason, that does not work, try Print > Save As PDF > open PDF in Reader and print from there. Check the User's Guide for media sizes available for your particular printer. Setup your artboard to the size page you want the image to print on. Use View > Show Page Tiling ( to see where the page's printable area lies. Align the page with the artboard using the Page tool.

Postscript printer driver files not working.

When I download the postscript printer driver file to my mac I get a .sea file. The installation instructions say to copy the "PDFPlugIn file and the Acrobat Distiller (PPD) file" into the extensions folder. But I cannot get the .sea file to do anything. Stuffit expander won't expand them and the .sea file in the extensions folder doesn't seem to do any good.

I think we should try to get a different PPD than that one.

You can download the Acrobat 9 PPD for use with InDesign/Illustrator to help with your Postscript file output.
You can substitute the InDesign file path with the Illustrator one to duplicate the steps.
In the end though, I honestly had to select "Other" in the PPD selection and direct to it manually.
This way it's just a pure PPD, not a SEA file.

Will the new 2TB time capsule run hot like the old one?

Could someone please tell me if the new 2TB time capsule that just came out will run hot like the old version? I have been thinking about getting the time capsule for quite some time, but I am concerning that it will get overheated to the point that all the data stored on it would be lost. I have seen several posts over the internet mentioning this problem. Please help. Thank you so much.

I just replaced my old TC with the new one. It took all night to transfer 149gb from my Imac to the new drive by wireless N. I took the old one to work and hooked it up in my office for a back up of a Mac Mini. At home we had 3 Mac's attached to the TC and it was always hot.I even found some sockets from an old socket set to raise it up so air could get under it to help cool it down a little. The new one is just warm with the same computers hooked up. The old one at work is also only warm to the touch with the one Mac hooked to it. I'm very happy with the new one and love the dual band.

How can I get the new version of iTunes to work like the old one?

When I upgraded to iTunes 11, the next time I synched to my iPods etc, many, if not most, of the favorite podcaststhat I had saved in my library got deleted. We are a Mac family and three of us download different podcasts to three different computers. All our dealings (purchases) have been handled through a single Apple ID account.
Since the change to version 11, all the podcasts are jumbled together. I want to subscribe to different podcasts than my wife or son, but our different computers are being treated as one. I'll click to be a subscriber and my son will get the downloads, and vice versa. What a mess!
Is the registry of all three units to a single Apple ID the source of the problem?

When you say "not possible," I assume you mean I can't get it to look like the old version. When I wanted to update the different podcasts, I could hit refresh and select from those available. That seems off the table. And what's with the confusion between computers?

How can I get my bookmarked sites to open in a new tab by clicking on them, like the old Netscape?

Every time I click on a bookmark, it overrides the current tab. How do I get it to open in a new tab? Or at least have an option like the old Netscape used to do.

Bookmarks act the same as links on a webpage. If you want to open them in a new tab either right-click and 'open in a new tab' or middle-click (ie click with the scroll wheel).

Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

I just got a warranty replacement for my touch gen4.I didn't do anykind of backup other than my usal sync with itunes. WHat do I have to do to get itunes to sync everything back like the old one? I was planning for a repair not a replacement.

I didn't do any kind of backup other than my usal sync with itunes. What do I have to do to get itunes to sync everything back like the old one? I was planning for a repair not a replacement. I'm afraid to plug the new one in to my pc until I know what I need to do.

You can restore from the backup of the old one.

Photoalbum indexpage with square photos like the old mobileme gallery?

I would like to get a photo gallery made in iWeb with an indexpage just like the old "MobileMe Gallery" with the square picture container´s - I made a lot of special frontpictures - one for each album only to fit the square form. And I liked it! At first it was annoying when it always seemed to cut half the heads of or the wheels from my bikepict´s but then I adjusted as described and made all those beautiful firstpict´s!
Now all different "theme´s" index pages are equipped with rectangular picture container´s. And options to change that are not active.
Can anyone help me to...
...change the rectangular picture on the index page to a square one?
...find a skin or another web gallery program with square photo containers?
It would really make my day if I could get all my albums up and out again!
Tina

For starters, here's a MobileMe Gallery Widget alternative.
In the past it linked to the MMe Gallery, now it links to a photoalbum on my NAS :

See if you can use it for your future gallery.

Is there a program that works like the old iPhoto?

Is there a program that works like the old iPhoto?
The old iPhoto is my ideal program. Unfortunately, it does not work on my new operating system. I like having the ability to look over my images with a slide show. However, the new package folder does not give me complete access to my pictures. Is there a program that will have both slide show with music options, and the general folder for the files? I heard that Picasa was supposed to have a general folder, but it is using the iPhoto package.
I have looked over the solutions to getting access to images from the iPhoto package mentioned in the discussion forum. I would like a simpler system that works like the old iPhoto. Is this a possibility? I do not feel comfortable putting my original photo files into a system that does not let me look at the file information, and I would like to have the original benefits of iPhoto tools.
Thank you for your time.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The current iPhoto is laid out specifically the way it is because of folks like you
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Even in the old iPhoto it was never correct to access the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, the new package folder does not give me complete access to my pictures.
This is untrue. Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
There they all are.
Standard Warning which applies to every version of iPhoto: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
I do not feel comfortable putting my original photo files into a system that does not let me look at the file information

In previous version, when typing the keyword "gmail" or "ebay" or "amazon" firefox went directly to the webpage, but in version 4 it stops at google. how do I get it to be like the old one?

it was so convenient before, and how I got most people to convert to Firefox - just type in the keyword, like "ebay" or "hotmail" and firefox found the webpage for you.
you say firefox 4 is faster, but now I get redirected to google first, which in version 3 only happened if Firefox wasn't sure of the right homepage.
how do I get it to be like the old one? if not, I think I'm going back to version 3. which was a lot faster because of this.

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

Copy and paste works. But drag and drop is also back in version 3.2. It works well here. Just drag and drop onto the canvas.Make sure you've upgraded to version 3.2 as earlier versions of Number 3 did not support drag and drop from Contacts.
Note that the column headers are misaligned if you are dragging contacts that do not contain an image. But the information in the body of the table drags in correctly.

When I turn on firefox the sound of an alarm begins and keeps going. I did not download or add or open anything. A sound like the old pacman game initiates the never ending alarm. It does not occur with safari and ends if I close firefox.

== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I opened firefox

dont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!!
(if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
OR
if you have cool preview then disable that
(the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on google's homepage)
