Printing in Classic with a specific OS X printer
Is there a way to make a Classic program print on OX equipment?
Use Calendar Creator in Classic to do an extensive family & friend birthday/anniversary calendar. Have used an Epson C82 printer that recently died and replaced with a C88. Problem is the C88 is only an OS X printer and won’t show in the chooser menu. Is there any way to get the calendar to print? In this program you have to first select a printer in chooser or the program won’t start-up (and the C88 won’t show).
My other option is a new calendar program, but we like all the color icons and text you can put in a calendar box and I haven’t found anything like Calendar Creator to do this. You help is most appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Greg Sahli, your suggestion worked.
The whole Laserwriter8 thing in Classic I found confusing. When selected, I got the message that Laserwriter8 requires AppleTalk. Please make sure you are connected to an AppleTalk network. Then I select Appletalk and get the message: AppleTalk can't be opened. To turn on AT, open network preference & click on AT. Then I went to the control panel & got message: That application is not supported by AT. Then I just gave up and went back to my Classic Application and as you suggested there was my C88 printer to print to. Anyhow, it PRINTS! Thanks.

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.

Problem printing on dvd with canon pixma ip 4200 printer
hello, i just bought a ip 4200. now here is the problem: the cd-printing just won´t work at all. the regular paperprinting does alright. has anyone similar experience or a solution to offer? i would be highly grateful,
saluti from germany
eddie wagnerIve just purchased a Pixma 5000 primarily for its direct CD printing, and was understandably surprised when Canon informed me that the CD printing software shipping with the printer still hasnt been updated for Tiger.
Short of sending the printer back, I purchased Disclabel software from Smileonmymac. It works very well, and is significantly better than the bundled application, working in a very iApp sort of way. (This isnt an advert, by the way, I just though it might put some people out of their misery) -
Can't "Print" to disk with Adobe PDF 8.0 Printer
If I want to create a PDF, I select "Print" from the File menu.
In the Print Dialog box I select "Adobe PDF 8.0" as the printer.
Then click on the "Print" button and the "Save As" dialog appears.
Select "Desktop" and click "Save" button.
It acts like its "printing" but nothing happens, and the "printed" pdf never appears on the desktop.
Results are similar regardless of the application I start in.
I'm using:
Mac OS 10.6.5
Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.2.5
I've uninstalled and re-installed a fresh copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 (then did all of the upgrade patches to 8.2.5)
Where do I start to troubleshoot this?
Thanks.FIXED IT!!!<br /><br />I worked out that all the problems came down to a single file in my preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.print.AdobePDF8/com.adobe.print.AdobePDF8.Defaults.xml<br /><br />now I opened it up and compared it to a version that was working...<br /><br />>** Excerpt from not working version **<br /><br />><dict><br /> <key>com.adobe.print.AdobePDF.PrintSettings.PDFJobOptionsPath</key> <br /> <string>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/Test(1).joboptions</string><br /><br />>** Excerpt from working version **<br /><br />><dict><br /> <key>com.adobe.print.AdobePDF.PrintSettings.PDFJobOptionsPath</key> <br /> <string>default</string><br /><br />I think what was going on was that the printer was trying to print to job options that either dont exist or dont work... It would stop the queue and also the printer didnt even have any PDF setting in the print dialog box. Now it works fine.<br /><br />So all you would have to do is delete the file, delete the printer from the print manager and then repair the printer from Acrobat and I should work fine!

Can you print only pages with a specific master page designation?
I'm laying out a fairly large technical book using InDesign CS4 and need to print proofs of pages that use a specific custom master page. Rather than scrolling through the Page window and writing down page numbers that use that specific master, i'd like to have a quick way of doing it. If anyone knows of a way to do this by either script or other means, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!
NOTE: Originally posted in general discussion and recommended to scripting forum.Straight to the point, methinks. Extensive commenting was free, today.
// Gather Master Spread names
masterlist = app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.everyItem().name;
// Create a simple yet effective dialog
masterDialog = app.dialogs.add ({name:"Select Your Master",canCancel:true});
with (masterDialog)
with (dialogColumns.add())
with (dialogRows.add())
listbox1 = dropdowns.add ({stringList:masterlist, selectedIndex:0});
// Get input
if (masterDialog.show())
selectedName = masterlist[listbox1.selectedIndex];
// Build Print string
pages = [];
for (i=0; i<app.activeDocument.pages.length; i++)
// What if there is NO master page applied?
// .. then it's NULL and doesn't have a name, that's what
if (app.activeDocument.pages[i].appliedMaster != null &&
app.activeDocument.pages[i].appliedMaster.name == selectedName)
pages.push (app.activeDocument.pages[i].name);
// Make a printable string of it
printpages = pages.join(",");
// Feed it to your current Print settings
app.activeDocument.printPreferences.pageRange = printpages;
// Show the Print dialog
app.activeDocument.print (true); -
Any ideas on how I can get a regular wireless connection with HPOffice Jet 6500A from my Mac Book Pro? It used work well and wirlessly in our previous home with a Broadband conection through the router. Would moving to ADSL have caused the issue now or is it the printer? I have had it work about three times but have resorted to plugging in via USB port. Two viviting techos have not been able to fathom it out either.
It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

Flex4: Printing my grids with mx:PrintDataGrid doesn't print the column headers
It's a simple mx:DataGrid with just 3 mx:DataGridColumns.
I use a s:VGroup as the print view. It contains an s:HGroup with two labels for the page header and then an mx:PrintDataGrid.
The grid data prints fine but the column headers are left blank. Just have the background gradient there, but no text.
Anyone any suggestions what goes wrong?
Thanks,
Ingokind of. My source grid is a plain vanilla mxml definition.
But when it comes to printing I create a new instance of my printview
which contains a PrintDataGrid and then do (besides other things):
printView.printDataGrid.dataProvider =
sourceDataGrid.dataProvider;
printView.printDataGrid.columns = sourceDataGrid.columns;
in order to get the same column properties in the print datagrid as in the
source datagrid.
Is that what you mean with "using the same set of colums which could cause
problems"?
If so, how to overcome this? -
Can't print from mini with mountain lion to To printer being shared on ppc with 10.5.8
Since installing mountain lion on my mini, I cannot print to my shared printer connected to my iMac running 10.5.8. Works fine from another iMac with 10.5.8.
OK, here's more info
The printer is a Canon MP160 that is connected via USB to 17" imac running OS 10.5.8. After installing Mountain Lion on the Mac Mini, I cannot print to that shared printer on my network. I can add the printer to the mini but when i try to print, i see the file in the print queue on the mini, and it processes and looks normal but there is no activity on the imac and nothing prints.
This worked perfectly with previous operating systems, ie snow leopard and then lion. I have done everything I could do to fix this including resetting the printing system on both computers.
I tested the shared printer from another imac that i have that is running 10.5.8 also and it works perfectly. -

Print job problems with AEBS - jobs don't print until another job is sent
I have been experiencing an anomaly with my printer not printing the last page of multipage documents since getting our AEBS with Gigabit Ethernet. Before getting the AEBSs, I had two Linksys routers that were performing well, but would crash regularly. I recently purchased two AEBS router to replace my two Linksys routers. I have the latest AEBS, and an older AEBS M8799LL/A sometimes referred to as the UFO or Crow’s Nest. My printer is a networkable HP Color LaserJet 2550n.
When the Apple Tech Support person could not get this printer to work when attached to an Ethernet port, they suggested that I attach it to the USB port. I finally got it to work with our Macs, and Windows XP running in Parallels using Bonjour. What we noticed right away was that the printer was taking longer to respond than when we were using it as a network printer under our previous Linksys network. Another thing that happened was that frequently a print job would not appear to have been sent (spooled?) to the printer so we would issue the print command after waiting a couple of minutes and end up with two copies of what we were printing. Yesterday I was printing a basic 5 page text document from Pages and the last page did not print. So I created a document with just a ‘.’ and sent it to the printer. Out came the last page of my five page Pages document and the document with just a ‘.’. The AEBS does appear to be somewhat more stable than our Linksys equipment, but getting printer to work properly has been very frustrating.
Is anyone aware of what might be causing this problem. At first I was blaming Windows, but it is happening very frequently when printing basic documents in Mac OS X 10.4-Tiger. Any help would be very much appreciated.Ah the self healing properties of OSX. This problem appears to have fixed itself.

Printer turns on with computer turn on , starts printing
Photosmart 7850. Had to do a reinstall WinXP and reinstall printer. Now when I start the computer, the printer starts and prints a few pages, one short line only with this sequence: USBC{happyface symbol}$C
I have removed printer and reinstalled software including drivers several times. I have checked and noted no items in queue. It will print at least 4 pages with similar line. Any ideas? Thanks.Hello everyone,
I think I might have the same problem. When I open my Powerbook the backlight will turn on for about a second and then turn off. Nothing seemed to help it, it would just return randomly after restarting, letting it rest for a while, plugging into external monitor. I took it to a genuis bar last year and they couldn't figure it out and wanted to send the hard drive to be reformatted. I couldn't part with it so I kept it with the problems.
I figured out that when it's plugged into a power supply it is more likely to shut off. But other than that, I have no idea what it is, and at times it is still random. Does the power supply have anything to do with the inverter board? Sorry for my ignorance, I am not tech savvy.
Any ideas? -
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.

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. -
How can I print web pages with HP psc 2175 printer?
Hi,
I'm having difficulty printing web pages with my HP psc 2175 printer. The printer spits out many pages before the actual page I want printed and then at times it doesn't print all of the section desired.
In fact, when I copied one page the other day, saved it as a pdf file to my computer, opened the file and the document still would not print.
Anyone have any idea what could be happening?
LeeI have a strange issue - I am also using HP Envy 100 410A and its prints fine from iPad2. But when I try to print from my Gen 1 iPad, it goes thru the motions (shows the printer, allows to select which pages to print, double sided print etc.) but the printing actually doesn't hapen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
