Printing in Classic via 10.4

Having problems printing from a Classic application while running under 10.4.11. I have a new Samsung ML2850 Laser that prints fine with applications under 10.4, but when I try to print from old OS 9 apps I get an error message: <This printer cannot print because this application is not AppleEvent aware and you have not installed Desktop Print 2.0 Software>. While in Classic mode I have opened the Chooser, selected LaserWriter 8 (on the left), but nothing else happens. This is all happening while I am upgrading from 10.3 and to a new G5 PPC.
Suggestions?

Many thanks!
The application is an old version of Managing Your Money (MYM by Mecca v5). I think it was purchased by MicroSoft and never reintroduced in updated versions for the Mac.
The application will let me make a Postscript file that I can print from. I am trying to avoid that additional step.
I did run the Samsung Installer Classic that came on CD with the printer.
How do I determine if I have the USB Printer Sharing on? I go to the Chooser and I can't see any options there. When I select LaserWriter 8 I get a message that "LW8AppleTalk is shown as inactive". An error message tells me to "open Network preferences & select AppleTalk".
If I did install a "desktop Printer" I don't recall specifically doing it.
Next?

  • Cannot Print to any Printer / Cannot Preview Print (Printing from Classic Reader Works)

    I'm having the same problem noted here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989426?esab=a&as=aaq
    I will check if reinstalling printers helps - note that I'm trying to print to a virtual pdf printer. However, as the title suggests, I have been successful in printing from the Classic Reader found by navigating as per:
    more > view using the classic reader
    Once in that mode Print Preview is available and Print reveals all the relevant printers and the one I selected worked.
    I'm sure that this is not the design intent. Feedback would be useful.
    I would also point out that the circuitous path to register for support is confusing. I found this bug report in my search to find a way in:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972269
    It seems daft to raise a new question to an old problem when replying to an existing discussion would be less time consuming and more logical to my way of thinking - refer bug report (seems I'm not alone in that view).

    If you select the email and then use:
    '3bar menu icon' > 'Print' > 'Print Preview'... is this also greyed out?
    Have you tried...
    * deselect and then reselect the printer as default via Control Panel > Printers?
    * uninstall and then reinstall printer?
    Can you post this info:
    * In Thunderbird, Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * click on 'Copy text to clipboard'
    * then use Ctrl+V to paste into this question.

  • My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

    My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.  I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
    I am so dissatisfied with this printer.  I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it.  I will never buy another Canon.
    The printer menus are confusing.  I hate using it.  I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model.  Never again.  Stick with cameras.
    Marcy Hotz

    This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
    Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer.  I deleted all the old stuff.
    I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
    When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which).  So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
    It works now.  So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching.  I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.

  • How can I add a new printer in Classic?

    I recently re-installed OS X following a printing problem on my iBook G4 which has system 10.3.9 and Classic. All works fine except that I still need to use Classic for one application and to print from it. I have an HP Deskjet 5150 that used to work fine. I can print on it from OS X but in Classic the printer in not in the chooser nor in Utlity Printing Service so obviously I can't select it to try to print. What do I have to do to get the printer in chooser? I also want to put Acrobat writer in the chooser but I imagine it's the same process?
    Please help I've spent a long time on it already without success!

    I've requested a moderator move your thread to the appropriate forum. No action is needed on your part.
    Just for your info, MacBooks can't run Classic, so your question is not as likely to be known the answer to by MacBook owners unless they have had previous experience, or also have machines able to run Classic.
    I've written a FAQ that contains some articles on printing in Classic*:

    Not sure which one will work for you.

  • I can print in classic but not OSX.

    Fistly, what a great forum! I'm a recent convert to iBooks, have been reading as much as I can on this site to try to become as much of an expert as possible.
    After much swearing I've now worked out how to use my Lexmark Z12 printer. If I reboot into OS9, I'm able to install the drivers from the cd and the printer works.(I've spent many frustrating hours downloading both the OS9 and the OSX drivers from the Lexmark website, but they just do not work when I'm in OSX.)
    This is a bit of a drag as it means having to transfer documents between OSX and OS9 by emailing myself! My question is, if my printer works in OS9, is there no way of printing in OSX with Classic running?
    Also, are there any dangers in switching between operating systems so frequently?
    I should probably bite the bullet and buy a new printer but the one I have works perfectly well and I hate waste!
    Any suggestions gratefully received.
    Brendan

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    From what I can find online, it seems that the OS X drivers for your printer only work through OS X 10.2. Functionality of your printer was broken with OS X 10.3. Printing in Classic is not supported, according to what I've read.
    You may find that buying a new printer is cost-effective if you compare the costs of replacement ink cartridges.
    As far as I know, there is no hazard in switching between operating systems. Apple intended that it be used that way.

  • Printing from Classic on a non-os 9 printer

    Hi...
    I hope you will tell me it will work...
    I have a Samsung CLP-510 printer and there's no printer driver for OS 9. I want to print from Classic (on a Power Book G4). I need to use Classic because my whole invoice software is on this system. (yeah, I know...I know...)
    There's no problem to install de Os X driver, so the printer will be installed on the computer. Will Classic have the printer installed too, even if i don't really install the os 9 driver? Will I be able to print directly from my software in Classic ?
    Many thanks for your help.
    I need to know it before doing all this, that's why I'm asking you all.

    Probelm resolved.

  • Need help printing in classic to hp laserjet 3050

    when I try to print a classic document it can't find my printer. I look in chooser and it's not there. I have both the mac os X 10.3.9 and the mac 9.1. No problems with os X

    Welcome To Discussions sweethart!
    If this HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One is the model, I don't see a driver available for OS 9 on that site.
    Without a driver installed in OS 9, you can't print from Classic.
    Maybe greg sahli, the printer guru, can offer an alternate means.

  • Need help printing in Classic to HP 1510

    I'm helping a person with an early 2001 iMac (500 MHz, 384 MB RAM) who's running 10.2.8 and 9.2.2. She got an HP 1510 all-in-one printer/scanner, and I'm trying to get it set up. I installed the printer software for OS X and for 9.2.2 (while running under 9.2.2) I can print from a 9.2.2 application (like Word for Office 2001) while running under 9.2.2, and I can print from an OS X application, but I can't print from a Classic application under OS X!
    When she tries to print from Office 2001 under Classic, the HP 1510 printer is found under "Page Setup" and "Print" in the Office 2001 application, the print job spools, but the Print Manager under Classic claims no printer is installed, and the Chooser under Classic can't find a USB-based printer under "HP Inkjet v6.6.1". This is where I found the USB-based printer when she was running 9.2.2. She has tried running the Desktop Printer Setup utility under Classic, but it doesn't see the USB-based HP 1510.
    What do I need to do to enable printing under Classic?

    gave up.

  • Printing from Classic Using OS X Drivers

    Shouldn't I be able to print from Classic using my Epson USB printer's OS X drivers (OS 9 drivers don't exist for this model)? I've tried opening the Chooser in Classic, but the printer doesn't show up.
    Thanks,
    Emily

    Go to Chooser (while in a Classic App) and select LaserWriter 8 driver - even if there's no printer on the right.
    When you want to print, the LaserWriter 8 print dialog comes up and you can select your OS X printers in the destination printer pull-down.
    Good luck.

  • Printing delivery note via attachment list

    Hi all,
    when I print a delivery note in VL02N, it is also archived as PDF in our archive system (SAPERION).
    My problem is, that a print from archive via attachment list is different (e.g. different borders) from that, which i printed at first.
    Is there any chance to get the same output again?
    Regards, Hubert

    Hi,
    T. code for Output for Picking list is VL70
    T. Code for outputs for Deliveries is VL71.
    Hope this is clear.

  • Problem with printing from classic

    I used to print things out from classic but somehow I can't print anymore. It tell me to go to chooser and choose the printer but I can't choose it. I tried to click on HP printer but no reponse. I tried to reinstall but no use. That reinstalling seems only appy to OS X, no affect on classics. Now what?
    I use mostly os X but there are some files I need to print from classic appliction. Funnything is I was able to do it and somehow it does not do it anymore.

    Hi Soo Lee;
    You are on the forum for Intel iMacs and in your original message you did state what system you had hence the reply that you can run "Classic" on an Intel iMac.
    I would suggest that you report on the forum for PPC iMac instead.

  • Printing from Classic

    I can no longer print from Classic (v 9.2)but printing from OS 10.1.5 is fine. Printing from Classic was not a problem until I tried to network my G4 with a PC. After several attempts, changing settings (airport, ethernet etc)I gave up and reset for printing in OS 10.
    The printer is a Personal laserwriter 320. In classic when I print the message is Laserwriter 320 could not be found. I have tried changing settings etc. but can not get it to print.
    Any suggestions
    G4   Mac OS X (10.1.x)   Mac OS 9.2

    I hope that's enough for someone else to now take this further…
    An AsantéTalk ethernet to LocalTalk bridge should plug in and work with no configuration, so that shouldn't be part of the problem.
    AppleTalk does need to be on, but it doesn't need zones; that's just a option for more sophisticated, managed networks.
    You probably need to turn off all other networking, including AirPort, and I guess TCP/IP needs to be set to Configure: Manually, not Using DHCP, etc.
    Pure, bootable OS 9 is what you invoked when you changed the startup disk to use the classic 9 which opened to the 9 desktop… as opposed to Classic, which bars some features so a cut-down version of OS 9 can run over X… the point here being that misconfiguration in X can effect 9 utilities, particularly at the level where peripherals including printers ineract with the system, and some things which perfectly happy in pure 9 are simply incompatible with Classic over X.

  • Default printer in classic environment

    After upgrading to 10.4.4 the default printer in Classic is changed to the default printer in OSX.
    If I want to print from a Classic application the first time before the print dialog is displayed I get an error message stating that apple events are not supported or that desktop printing is not installed. In the printer dialog that shows up my appletalk printer with the name I have given the printer in OSX is shown and when I select the os9 name printing is fine until classic restarts.
    How can I select the default printer from wihtin Classic?

    Guys, this should be a software problem with the system, so we should expect it would happen with all printers, with a Brother printer and also with a LaserWriter Pro (10+ years old!) but assuming that Cube does have identical symptoms to Erik there are at least two things going on here.
    What it defaults to should be quite separate from those errors for AppleEvents and desktop printing software 2.0. Those seem to be about whether something is configured corrctly, not about what's selected.
    If this is always solved by reselecting the correct printer, I'd grin and bare it.
    However, with no other symptoms, those errors suggeset a mismatch or misconfiguration.
    Some printers are much more fussy than they should be about the version of LaserWriter, and of auxilliary printing Extensions certainly including PrintingLib. The natural assumption is that the latest version will cover everything, but I've met printers which required downgrades…
    Although I haven't seen this recently, for early Classic some printers needed their 9 drivers installing once while booted in pure 9, then again while running Classic over X - and if that's your case I hope your Macs are old enough to boot in pure 9.
    With or without that, it may simply matter which order 9 and X drivers are installed in.
    Again, are you using third-party RIP software? I don't know that desktop printing software 2.0 refers to anything from Apple and some time ago there was a spate of reports by people using a third-party utility with a name too like that to ignore, which no-one could find anywhere on the web but which turned out to refer to a third-party RIP that did work with 9 but never with Classic.
    Meanwhile my Classic 9.2.2 over 10.4.4 on my G4 DP 1K defaults to the X printer but so does Classic 9.2.2 over 10.4.3 on my Titanium lappie, which seems to indicate this is not a 10.4.4 thing though I don't remember how the G4 behaved on 10.4.3 (and if I'd seen Cube's message one minute later, I would already have started the 10.4.4 updater running on the lappie. Phew!)
    I very much doubt that can be solved: I suspect it's a design fault in the way Classic and X communicate and in my case I change printers so often that again, checking Chooser one extra time is hardly noticable.

  • Epson Stylus r360 issues printing in Leopard via Airport Extreme & Bonjour

    I hope I am not duplicating any posts, have searched but have not found a similar problem.
    I have an Epson Stylus Photo R360 printer connected to my Airport extreme via USB sharing the resource around the house via Bonjour to all my Mac's.
    Problem is it works fine under Tiger but the 2 Mac's that have been upgraded to Leopard 10.5 no longer print. It discovers the printer and loads in the printer configuration window ok, drivers are found and the printer looks good to go.
    However, when you try and print, after about a minute an error appears on the printer in Leopard with an exclamation mark and is unable to continue.
    If you hook up the printer directly to any Mac running leopard, it works fine!
    Anyone else having this problem? Is this something Apple has changed in Bonjour or maybe printer drivers problem via Bonjour?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    G

    I found a fix for the problem of not being able to print from a printer connected to an Airport Extreme.
    I had similar issues with my Canon iP4200, which was connected to an Airport Extreme. Printing worked fine with Tiger, but Leopard has somehow corrupted the feature. Printing is now very sporadic, at best - and will stop a few seconds into the printing and hang. My solution was to hook the printer directly up to the main (host computer). Go into System Preferences > Sharing, and make sure you've selected 'printer sharing'. Then go into the Sys Pref for "Printing/Fax", and remove your current printer (which was accessed via Bonjour on your Extreme) - you can leave it if you like, just make sure that when you add the new one, that you make it the default. Once set, make sure that you check the box labeled 'Share this Printer'. You will also now notice that the printer's location has changed to your host computer's name. You will now be able to print from your main computer without a hitch. Now access the System Pref>Printer/Fax from any other wired or wireless computer on your network. Add a new printer, a new choice will appear on your list, which will list the printer name with the "@" symbol, followed by your host computer's name. Select that, and let it do it's auto driver check, then click 'add'.
    You will now be able to print from any of your computer's on the network. Best of luck.

  • I am having issues printing from ipad via airprint compatible canon 5230- noairprint found

    I just purchased canon mg5230 AirPrint compatible printer. Attepting to print from Keynote and numbers. Message-no airprinters found. Printer does work via wireless laptop. It will print a photo only via Canon app.

    Not sure if this is a typo, but the 5230 is not on the list of airprint printers, but the 5320 is.
    Here is the list.
