Printing from PPC G5 to Mac Mini with Epson 2200

I'm having a terrible time, trying to figure out what went wrong with printing to my Epson 2200, using my brand new Mac mini as a print server, since I set up my new Mac mini this morning. I have an Epson Stylus Color 2200 USB printer attached to the Mini, and I am trying to print out of Photoshop CS3 from my ethernet networked Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, using the mini as a print server.
I put the Intel print driver for the Epson on the new mini and all the Epson print options are available and I can print fine from Photoshop on it. But, when I try to print from the G5, I don't have all the print options available for the Epson; specifically the Print Settings and Color Management option boxes from the Print dialog box, that are usually available when printing out of Photoshop to the Epson.
I bought the mini to replace the old MDD G4 that I'd been using (with no printing problems) for years.
Something happened to mess up my printing options since changing over to the mini, but I just can't for the life of me figure out what to do! Any suggestions would be very, very appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

In case anyone else is having this same problem, I was given teh solution on the Adobe Photoshop User to User Forum:
Try installing the latest appropriate version of the driver on both machines, and then manually drag the Library/Printers/Epson folder (the root Library folder, not the one in your Home folder) from the Intel machine to the same place on the PowerPC G5.
This worked like a charm.

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

  • Continued issues with printing from Windows laptop to Mac

    I have an iMac running Tiger (10.4.8) with a Brother MFC-8640D attached via USB. The iMac is connected to a Linksys wireless router via Ethernet cable. I have two Windows laptops (Sony Vaio and Dell Inspiron), both running XP; they connect wirelessly to the Internet and to the iMac.
    I used Bonjour for Windows to set up the Brother printer. Initially, I used the Windows driver, but my print jobs would show as completed but not actually print. Following the suggestions in several posts, I used the Apple Laserwriter PS driver. What happens now is that the print job stops and can't be restarted.
    Can anyone tell me what I should try next? Someone mentioned setting up a "raw queue" on the Mac, but I don't know how to do that.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

  • HP Printer update keeps getting reinstalled. Mac mini with Lion.

    I have a new Mac mini with Lion and the HP Deskjet all-in-one printer with scanner that came with a rebate so I got it for free. When I check for new software I get a notice that there is an update to the HP printer driver (I think it is v 5.7). I go ahead and do the update and it says it was installed. When I check later on for new software the same update shows up, as if I never did the upgrade. What gives?

    Thanks for the feedback. Since I did the original post I found the solution by searching the community for "HP Update". Someone posted that you need to delete a folder within the Library folder and then do the update again. The deleted folder for the HP Printer will wind up in the trash, but you need to reboot the Mac before you can empty the trash.

  • Will Mac Mini with OSX Server 10.6 Snow Leopard be able to fit my needs?

    Hello,
    The office i work in is a Mac environment.
    Is this unit powerful enough to support 20 people? This is the setup i was thinking:
    Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server - 2.66GHz : Dual 500GB:
    1st Internal drive - OS only
    2nd Internal drive - OS backup via CarbonCopyCloner
    Ministack USB drive - Data backup via Time Machine (file shares etc on server from services)
    Firewire DroboPro 16TB - Client Time Machine Backups via the Network.
    Would the Mac Mini be powerfull enough to support normal OS X Server services, and at the same time act as a client Time-Machine backup via the network?
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    The answer to your question depends on how many of the services you intend to offer.
    If you are just going to use the Mini as a File, Print, and directory server, then it will work fine.
    If you intend it to run as your web, email, database, and iChat server, you might be pushing things a bit much.
    Your drive layout looks appropriate for a simple file server, so I would tentatively say yes, it looks like it would do what you currently require.

  • Is there a way to run Internet Explorer on a Mac mini with mountain lion?

    I need to access a professional website that only works with IE (don't get me started on THAT) I need to do billing using this site so need to have full functionality.  Is there a way to run IE on my mac mini with mountain lion?

    The key takeaway here is that yes, you can access Windows 7 (and IE 9) from OS X Mountain Lion.
    The crucial question is about your workflow. If you need concurrent access to both Windows 7 and Mountain Lion, then the Bootcamp solution included with Mountain Lion would not be the right choice. You would need one of the virtualization solutions.
    If you need helpdesk support from a paid product, rather than entirely from a community forum, then the latest Parallel's Desktop or VMware would be a matter of choice, with Parallel's the better decision at this point. Either of these products are under $100, in addition to the cost of a Windows 7 license. You may need the Windows 7 installation media as an .ISO file, rather than on DVD. Check requirements.
    By example, I use Oracle's VirtualBox (free) on Mountain Lion, with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit guest. The interactive and network performance of this Windows guest are more than adequate on my 2011 mini. I assigned 3 GB memory and 2 of 4 processor threads to the Windows 7 guest. I also restricted guest CPU use to 80%. VirtualBox is installed on my SSD, but the Windows guest is on an external HDD. That is not a default configuration. There are multiple choices for display; from full-screen 1920x1200 (mine) to an isolated resizeable window, to seamless integration with OS X. The Apple keyboard, bluetooth devices (trackpad/mouse), and printer all are recognized. I also have a shared OS X folder with VirtualBox, and copy/paste integration.
    I use VirtualBox as it meets my support (forum) and functional requirements.
    Best wishes,

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.  
    These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    for k in /Sy*/L*/Ex*/{,.?}*.kext; do test -f "$k/Contents/Info.plist" && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$_" | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo $k; done | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3 
    Repeat with this line:
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 4
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, Steps 1-4 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Need Mac mini with 10.7

    I cannot purchase a new Mac mini because the printer and touchscreen monitor I want to use do not have the supporting drivers for mountain lion (10.8), or the companies' tech support says things like "it should work" not "it has confirmed functionality."  Therefore, I feel forced to look into used or refurbished Mac minis with 10.7 or 10.6.  Apple's refurbished page currently shows only two Mac minis for sale  - both have OS X server, which also comes with Mtn Lion.  This leads me to my question:  Is my best bet to find a used or new-in-the-box (but sitting on a warehouse shelf) Mac Mini from 2011 or so with 10.7?  Apple is of little help with only two refurbished machines with Mtn Lion.   Two potential problems come to mind - slower dual core versus quad core processors, and 2.0 USB ports instead of 3.0.  I wish I could just buy a new Mac mini with the 10.7 as this OSX has confirmed compatability with the touchscreen and printer drivers. 
    Thanks for any help anybody. 

    BDaqua -
    Thank you so much for your help.  I reviewed the website you provided.  If we are going with used or refurbished, we'd like to find 10.7 with a quad core.  I found this company:
    http://www.gainsaver.com/Catalog/Detail.aspx?cICode=168550&CID=103&SID=MC936LL/A &gclid=CNLoq4-TnrcCFYZaMgodiS4AGg   but have no idea how reputable, or what "pre-owned" might mean to them.  Are there Apple-certified refurbished products out there besides Apple?  If we were going to buy a "pre-owned", used or refurbished item, are some companies better to work with than others?  Any other leads? 
    Also, do you see where you can upgrade some of the components on the right side of the screen at gainsaver.com?  What do you think about having a 3rd party company like this install, say a hard drive (they don't list whether any of them are Fusion or SSD) or RAM?
    Yes, ebay has many used Mac minis but it has been hard to find the one with the quad core that I want with the older OSX. 
    We don't want to run Parallels or Fusion, etc.  We'd like to just stick with Apple and products that are compatible.
