POSTSCRIPT PRINTER FOR WIN7 PRO 32

Which HP printers with PostScript emulation are supported fofr Windows 7 (pro 32-bit)?. It seems the Color Laser Jet 3800, which did fine in both PCL and PS on my XP, are not- except with Universal PS dirver, which is so slow that timeouts occur.

Hello smithurmann. I understand you are trying to locate printers that work with Postscript Emulation. I have located an HP document that contains information on this printer: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=0&spf_p.tps...
This first document is simply an overview of the subject. It lists a few printers that support the action. The document explains it better than I could. Here is another document for you to review: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=411171&spf_...
The main point of this second document is that the postscript printing language is not supported on printers that perform host-based printing. It also provides a list of printers that this rule applies to. Finally, I have one more document for you to review: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=411171&spf_...
This document contains nothing about postscript printing, rather it explains host-based printing and its implications, in comparison to postscript printing. Again, the documentation can better explain all of the information.
If you have any other questions please let me know.

How to set up postscript Printer for printing graphics

We have a requirement to print Structured graphics. I found out that we need to set up a postscript printer for it. After debugging I found out that the Device Type name should be either GRAPHICS or POSTGR or ZGRAP.
How can we set up such a printer?
Thanks in adv.

Hi,
The Device Type names that you have provided are not listed in the SAP Central Note for Printers/device Types
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/8928
However, you can again re-check this note with your printer model and check what suitable device types should be used. As you will find inthis note:
"Device type definitions are stored completely in tables and can be individually adapted, modified or enhanced. If SAP performs such an adjustment for a customer, it constitutes a consulting service, and is generally charged seperately"
SAP has now released the SAP Printer Vendor Program - https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1130927, printer manufacturers can develop and release device types for their printers.
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1100779 contains a list of all participants
Information about the support for new printer models is contained in the "Printer Vendor Wizard Note" of the relevant manufacturer. A complete list of all "Printer Vendor Wizard Notes" is available in Note 1097990. If your printer model is not listed in one of these "Printer Vendor Wizard Notes", proceed as described in Note 1103826.

PageMaker 6.5 set default PostScript printer for PDF export

My boss uses PageMaker 6.5 and it appears when she uses the Export to PDF option it is selecting a PostScript printer at random and asking it to "print to file" to create the PostScript file that it later gives to Distiller to create the PDF. The problem is, she has a "virtual PDF print driver" installed that is not unlike the Adobe PDF printer driver, except it either doesn't support "print to file" or maybe just doesn't like something about the way PageMaker is using it. It works great from other apps, but not PageMaker. Anyway, is there a way to force PageMaker to use a specific PS printer for this, instead of picking the first one it finds? I thought it might be alphabetical order based on driver or printer name, or port name, but I've tried changing all of those, and no luck. I did install a new PS printer, and that worked for a bit (so I assumed it was using the most recent printer installed), but now it is selecting the virtual one again, and not working... not sure why.
If she sets the default printer to Adobe PDF Printer (she has Acrobat 9), it uses that one, and everything works fine. She doesn't want to use that for her default printer though, and the printer she wants as her default isn't a PostScript printer, so PM doesn't try to use it.
Maybe a registry setting or something? Or someone that can confirm the order that PageMaker looks for a printer to use, so that I can maybe trick it in to using a specific one?

If it wasn't my boss, I'd just tell her to do that. She's been using PM for many many years, and hard to retrain yourself. Of course, this might be the best option. Seems like a weird design to "pick a printer at random" though, so hoping someone knows of some hidden option to force a specific printer.

Need a printer for MacBook Pro - ideas?

I need a printer for my MacBook Pro. I want to be able to copy, print, scan and fax, and I want wireless capabilities. Considering an Epson Workforce 845 that had a good review on cnet. Any input would be appreciated.
Cassandra

I just ordered the HP C410a from Amazon.
It was rated very high on the list of Consumer Reports tested printers.
The Epson Workforce 845 was not tested, But the Workforce 840 and 835 were 2/3's down the list of approx.54 all-in-ones. They only rated fair at most of the printers functions. They had a $1.00 more per month ink cost then the HP. The HP, I linked, was rated very good to excellent on all it's function tests and placed 4 from the top of the list.
Interesting to me, out of the 54 printers not many had a fax function!
How can you say you are an all-in-one when you only scan, copy and print? I know faxing is less used these days but I still need it on occasion.

Reliable, Affordable Printer for Macbook Pro w/ Retina??

I apologize ahead of time if this is being posted in the wrong place, but i'm looking for advice on getting a good printer for my Macbook Pro w/ Retina. I currently have an old Dell 1320c and although it setup fine and prints correctly the toner is now printing in gray and the lack of proper driver support makes troubleshooting the printer very difficult. In light of my recent printer troubles I decided to come here for some printer suggestions. As far as price range, I would like to spend no more than $150 for a new printer but if jumping up to $200 or something close greatly improves the quality, i'm open to more suggestions. This printer would only be used by myself at home and strictly for school assignments like word documents, powerpoints w/ pictures, etc. nothing too intense. I would not be printing actual photos and I don't think I need the speed of a laser printer to be honest. I would like a printer with GOOD support, meaning I can easily replace cartridges and not have to worry about replacing my printer for at least 2 years. Dell cartridges were pretty expensive and a lot of people had the same gray output problem that I experienced before the printer even reached 1000 prints. Regardless, this baby lasted me a good 4-5 years before giving me real trouble so I'm hoping a decent printer won't be hard to find.
My main concern is compatibility! I want a printer that is fully compatible with my macbook pro and allows me to utilize their menu services, easily access printer menus, check ink, etc. After that I just want something reliable and consistent with good product support. I will be using the printer every week during school to print notes and assignments, but not photographs and no need for a scanner. I'm not sure what other information to include but I hope I covered enough to give you guys an idea of what im looking for. Ive had trouble with DELL products in general so maybe just a different brand suggestion would be helpful but thanks ahead of time!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I don't mind wireless vs. usb as long as theres not much price difference. Also it might be worth noting that the macbook I have has no CD drive so I would want a printer that I can set up without a CD drive, thanks!

I don't have a specific recommendation, but if at all possible you should choose an AirPrint-enabled printer from the (possibly incomplete) list in the linked support article. It will need no software or configuration, and will work with iOS devices.

Postscript Printer for CS5

Need to find a postscript printer (Inkjet or Laser) to output any or all CS5 documents on Mac OSX 10.5.8
My budget is $300.00
Would anyone care to give me suggestions? Thanx!

$300.00 will not buy a Postcript Printer. Most RIP's cost around $499. street. Epson Stylist Pro 3800 with a Colorburst RIP will cost around $1495.00 street., and should have an update compatable with CS5 ( if necessary ).

Duplex printing for LaserJet Pro 1100

Directions for manual duplex printing for LaserJet P1102w

Since this is not an auto duplex printer, you will need to go into your printer properties and set the allow manual duplex check box. Once you have set it there it will duplex all the time.
Start menu >Device and Printers Folder > Right click on the printer > choose printer preferences > finishing tab (I think that is what it is called, if not look for the tab that has...print on both sides (manually) or allow manually duplexing (Sorry, I don't have this printer hooked up to a test box or I would get you a screenshot )
If you want to only duplex certain jobs, then you can do this through the application at the time you pick your printer by selecting printer properties (located under your printer selection button) and setting it for only that one job.
Open application > File > Print > Printer Properties > finishing tab (steps are the same as above)
Just remember...
Box checked = duplex (default option so this should already be set unless you have unchecked it)
Box unchecked = not duplex
Last word of caution on these instructions...you may have some variation as I am going off my memory here....my printer is not hooked up.

What is the best and affordable printer for macbook pro?

hi.... i have difficulties in printing my assignments... which i need to save my work using my thumbdrive then open it at windows to print....therefore, i want to buy a printer that can works with my macbook pro...what is your advice? i have tried to install hp printer but cant support my mac...really need your advice before i buy the new printer..

It sounds as if you need a multi-function printer, with both wireless and AirPrint capabilities. A laser printer is usually back-and-white only, although there are color laser printers. Injest are probably the most common but they can go through some ink, resulting in some hefty cash being laid out for ink (although color laser printers have, likely, the highest consumable costs).
I've had good luck, over the decades, with Canon inkjet printers. Take a look at the Canon website and look at the "3-in-1" inkjet printers that offer wireless and AirPrint capabilities, copy functions, and scanner functionality as well.
Good luck,
Clinton

Google cloud print for officejet pro 8600 - could not get printer information from hp.

I just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 today. Everything seems to work great except for the connector to Google Cloud Print. I can print from AirPrint, as well as emails to the hpeprint.com address, but when I try to register via the google site, I receive the "could not get printer information from HP" error message.
The printer is connected via wireless ethernet, and seems to work find otherwise. I have no restrictions on who can send print jobs, and I have changed the email address for hpeprint.com a few times, as suggested in other forum threads, but it can never connect to the the Cloud Print service. I am at the latest firmware level listed on the HP website. I have tried to initiate the connection from multiple PC's as well as multiple web browsers.
This was a big factor in purchasing this printer. Help anyone?
This question was solved.

Hey rch33k, I am sorry for the ongoing issue that you are having accessing Google Cloud Print. This is being looked into as this is not a singular issue and is affecting other customers as well. Engineers are currently investing this problem to try and provide a solution to it. I want to again apologize and thank you all for your patience in this matter. They only other thing to attempt at this time is to contact Google for further assistance to see if anything can be done on their end. Hopefully this will be fixed quickly

Partition Redundancy for Win7 Pro x64 T400

My laptop came with 4 partitions: a 1.37 GB partition with no name and no file system listed on computer management, C: which is a 137 GB partition with NFTS file system, D: is 9.77 GB and same type as C: and a partition named SERVICEV003 using up 1.46 GB. I have recently just upgraded from my Vista Home Basic x86 to Windows 7 Professional x64. Do I still need these partitions since I`ve just upgraded my system? When I saw these partitions in Vista, I assumed it was for Rescue and Recoery. I can`t install Rescue and Recovery anymore on the new OS so I don`t use it. Since I don`t use it (and if these partitions are used for R&R), can I just delete these partitions?

I deleted those partitions during the Win 7 Pro 64 install. (Using retail Win 7 upgrade DVD)
FYI, though, you can install R&R 4.3 in Win 7. I just did that. Burned rescue CD + DVD+R DL full image of my HD with it. Put in a different HD (fully zero'd out) and restored. The restore was a little strange, perhaps because the new HD didn't have any partition table (known issue with some other R&R versions) but worked the 2nd try. Booted to a fully functional W7 pro 64 on the new HD.
Nice to have the backup media to do a restore without having to install vista first then Win 7 - which would be required if using the upgrade media for a recovery/restore IIUC.
I made the image after running the initial windows update and TVSU so it's a nice base restore image. The full drive image fit on a single DVD DL + 2 CDs.
YMMV, but it worked well for me.

OEM key for Win7 Pro not working on Win10

Upgraded a Windows 7 Pro computer(OEM-licensed) with Windows 10 Pro but the OEM license key(on the Microsoft sticker) does not work. The upgrade was a clean install from a USB-stick. Anyone who has the same problem?

Hi akjersem, welcome to the forums,
an upgrade needs to be performed by starting the process from within the existing qulaified operating system, hopefully this reply in another thread will prove useful for you;

Wireless or Network Printer for MacBook Pro?

I'm looking for a new printer to replace my HP PhotoSmart. I'm very frustrated with the performance and the hassles communicating with it on my network. If you have found a good "non-HP" printer/scanner for my mac, that I can communicate with wirelessly or on my Apple Airport Extreme wifi network, I'd sure like to hear about it. I used to own a Canon, and it seemed to work well. I guess it should have AirPrint capabilities too, and work well with Mountain Lion.
Any suggestions would be VERY appreciated.
Cheers, Shiba Dog

The AEBS is a wireless router, not a cable modem. A good cable modem is the Motorola 5120 but it is not wireless.
Yes, the AEBS is pricey but it's an excellent product. However, if you wish not to spend that kind of money there are less expensive products by LinkSys, Belkin, D-Link and others. However, none have any Mac support although most all of them will work with Macs - some better than others.
