Print driver options and parameters lost

I can see and print on both my HP Laserjet 1300 and Canon S900 printers with Leopard, but I can no longer manage the detailed print settings on either. So with my photo printer in particular, this is no better than not being able to print at all!
What's going on? I've carefully installed the optional drivers for both printers from the OS X 10.5 disk, and I'm upgraded to 10.5.1. I've also tried reverting to my previous drivers, but no luck. These printers are from two cornerstone printer vendors, so the problem has got to be with Apple - I am right? Is there something I'm missing? Why should my computer configuration become emasculated in this way, when all I did was upgrade as Apple recommended?
Can I expect a fix? When? From whom?

In Page Setup if I switch the "Format For" popup then I see the difference paper sizes.
In the print dialog, using the popup with the dividing line behind it, I can switch to Finishing. In the resulting panel there's a "Media Type" popup. That has light, heavy, and card stock g/m2 selections as well as letterhead, transparencies, envelope and a bunch of other options.
If you're not seeing these then you'll want to make sure you are not using the Generic PostScript PPD. In the System Preferences Print & Fax panel you can check this. Click on your printer, then on the "Options & Supplies" button. Hit the resulting Driver tab. The first line will sat "Print using:" and then the driver being used.
I hope this helps.

My computer hard-drive died and I lost the programs I purchased and installed via download.

My computer hard-drive died and I lost the programs I purchased and installed via download.. Can I somehow re-download what I have already paid for? I am an unemployed student and can in no way afford to buy these programs for A THIRD TIME.

My hard drive crashed and I lost everything on my Mac desk top, including my Adobe Lightroom. I had my hard drive replaced but how do I download to my new hard drive? I have my previous serial number but when I entered that, it said it was invalid.

HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone. If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone. Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone. If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone. Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily. It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

Hi,
The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

Select-options and parameters

hi,
In How many ways we can define select-options and parameters.

hi uday,
Usually we use PARAMETERS for single value input and
SELECT-OPTIONS is used to give a range of input values for a single field
SELECT-OPTIONS implicitly consists of internal table with fields
OPTIONS
LOW
HIGH
SIGN
eg:
      DATA: G_VBELN TYPE VBAK-VBELN.
      SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME.
      PARAMETERS : P_VBELN LIKE VBAK-VBELN.
      SELECT-OPTIONS: S_VBELN FOR G_VBELN.
      SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
   o/p:
          P_VBELN: _________________.
         S_VBELN:___________ TO ____________.

Select-options and Parameters, when to use what?

Hi gurus,
I have been using Parameters for long. Now I want to choose a range of values, which I need to retrieve from database.
I tried using select-options. Can't I use 2 parameters that is parameter1 and parameter2 and mention query BETWEEN para1 AND
para2, and when I use NO INTERVALS and NO EXTENSION together, it behaves same like parameter, then why did SAP gave these
extensions.

Hi friend,
Simple differences between Select-options and parameters.
Select-Options Uses keyword 'for'
Parameters Uses keywords 'like', 'type'
Select-Options Uses operator 'in'
Parameters Uses operator '='
Select-Options Provides ranges for selection
Parameters No ranges only single value
Select-Options Creates selection table
Parameters No selection table
Select-Options When i/p blank all records selected
Parameters   When i/p blank none is selected
Note:
Select options can act as parameters by using 'no-extension' 'no intervals', but all records will be selected when i/p is blank unlike parameters.
Might be helpful..
Thanks...

HI major diffrence in select-options and parameters

Hi,
Can any one explain me the major diffrence between select options and parameters.
I know that in select options we can give a range of values and in parameter one value.
Thanks

Hello Hari,
I would see following differences:
1. As you have mentioned, many values/ranges can be given in the SELECT-OPTIONS. However, the parameter can hold only one value.
2. In the run time, we see the data w.r.t a select option as an Internal table and Parameter may be accessed as a global variable.
3. Consider following statements:
a. select-options: s_matnr for mara-matnr no-extension no intervals.
b. parameters: P_MATNR like mara-matnr.
Both the statements look same on the selection screen.
consider the SQLs:
<b>select * into corresponding fields of table g_t_mara
from mara
where
matnr in s_matnr.</b>
and
<b>select * into corresponding fields of table g_t_mara
from mara
where
matnr eq p_matnr.</b>
both the SQLs give the same output if the user gives a material number on Selection screen.
If the user does NOT give any input in selection screen, the first SQL will fetch all data from DB, whereas the SQL with the PARAMETER will fail.
So I think we should keep in mind the requirement and code accordingly.
I hope this helps you.

Mac OS 8.6 Cursor Frozen after print driver install and restart.

Installed Epson SC 980 Print driver on Mac OS 8.6. After install, I was prompted to restart the computer. Upon restart the window that contained the "Installer" button remains onscreen and the cursor is frozen. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Strange. Starting up with Extensions Off is supposed to prevent most extensions, including all 3rd-party software, and anything in the Startup Items folder from loading.
Can you tell if it is an app itself which is running? Or is it a window for a disk image or something similar?
You can also try resetting the PRAM while booting with Extension Off, just in case some non-valid instruction got set in PRAM (that should be a no-no for software, but mistakes do happen).
To do that, restart or boot. Immediately press the Command-Option-P-R keys, keep them held down until you've heard a total of three sets of startup chimes. Then release those keys and hold down Shift, keeping it held down until the desktop appears. If you have control over the machine then, you can do some hunting for the Epson software that's causing the issue and get rid of it.
Next level of user control to try is booting to a CD. If you have an OS Install CD, such as one for OS 8.6, which is valid for that machine, try booting the machine to the CD. This should render any software on the hard drive inert, and thus give you an opportunity to hunt the culprit down and remove it.

My hard drive crashed and i lost my itunes and all my songs...

Go here for an iPod to PC step by step instructions using 3rd party software http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/
Then soon as you do this back up ASAP by going here http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/backup/
If your harddrive ever crashes again, and you connect your iPod to that empty iTunes library, or your PC crashes and your iPod starts acting up you will be screwed if you don't have a backup

Downloaded program. Hard drive failed and program lost. Any way to retrieve it?

I purchased my iMac in Dec. of '07 and purchased iWork shortly thereafter by download. Unfortunately my hard drive failed and I didn't have a backup so I lost not only my iWork but also my Snow Leopard update. Is there any way to retrieve these (especially iWork) without having to purchase them again? I haven't had any luck getting through to Apple support.

I you purchased iWork "shortly after" your Mac purchase, there was no app store; the only way you could have bought it was as a retail disk or, if there was a trial version on your Mac, you might have purchased a registration number. If the former is the case, you should have the disk; if it's the latter, I'd suggest calling Apple to see if something can be done.
And: your next purchase should be an external hard drive so you can make a backup.

Firefox won't print 'highlights' made by a marking tool on a form. I have enabled 'Print backgrounds' options and the yellow image overlays print fine in other browsers. Is this a setting within windows 7?

I am trying to print a document through Firefox. We have a Form view / marking tool to make these image overlays to make highlighted boxes on the document.
It prints the yellow 'highlight overlays' fine in all other browsers and in OSX using firefox, but the highlighted boxes won't print in Firefox using Windows 7.
I have the 'Print backgrounds' option checked in Firefox settings.
Please advise.

OS is asking to install already existing printer driver over and over again

OS is asking to install already existing printer driver of a printer that already exists and works. If I say yes, he searches and finds nothing. What can I do to end this?

What kind of printer is it? Try deleting that folder from /Library/Printers/ and reinstalling the update.
