Printing with Leopard and Aperture?

Has anyone tried to print via Aperture after the Leopard upgrade and the Aperture 1.5.6 update? I just want to make sure my HP B9180 will still work after the install! Many thanks to the brave who have run the updates already and can provide insight for the rest of us!!!

Fangirl-
Regarding "I am encouraged also by your ability to upgrade without doing an archive and install" I cannot state too strongly that IMO simply "migrating" to a new OS version, especially a huge evolution like OS 10.5, is a very bad idea even though it often superficially "works."
http://macfixit.com/ has pages of useful commentary that everyone should read every word of prior to installing OS 10.5, including:
In an article a few days ago, we mentioned that "For most users, a basic upgrade [where the installer merges Leopard directly with your existing files] will suffice". But that doesn't mean we recommend it. We don't. In fact, there is a school of thought that says you should never, never, never do a "basic upgrade" installation - that such an installation is, indeed, the root of all evil. Not only do you inherit a lot of old stuff that may be incompatible, but the algorithm whereby the installer "merges" your existing system with the new one is not reliable. The majority of troubles reported in MacFixIt may well stem from having done this sort of installation."
The emphases in the quote above are mine, because I strongly believe that one should never do a "basic upgrade" installation for the the reasons noted.
I have lots more commentary but the MacFixit pages are more comprehensive.
Good luck with the upgrade! Note that although I am adamant about care when udating I am not suggesting that everyone should postpone updating. I will not upgrade this week or next, but probably will update at least my laptop long before a 10.5.1 version comes out.

  • Trouble printing with Leopard and Samsung USB laser printer

    I just purchased a Samsung SCX-4200 laser printer/scanner/copier. After installing 10.5-compatible drivers from the Samsung website, I'm unable to get the printer to work. Print+Fax recognizes the printer fine and the proper driver appears in the pulldown menu so all seems good there. But every time I go to print a document (I've tried numerous apps), the job begins spooling to about 6%-8% (depending on document tried) and then I get a message in the queue window that says 'Waiting for USB printer to respond.' and the job just hangs there. The job list shows the document as printing and the Print+Fax window shows the printer as in use, but no matter what I try, this thing just won't print. I've tried restarting the computer, rebooting the printer, an older version of the drivers that came with the printer (says OS 10.3-10.4 only) and myriad other tricks, but no dice.
    Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

    Well to follow up I finally heard back from Epson support...this was the response (note that it says nothing that I did not tell them already).
    Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
    respond to your inquiry. Color management is an art, make sure that only
    the application or the driver is handling the management. Turn off the
    management in the driver if you are allowing Photoshop or other software to
    handle the color management. Also make sure when you are allowing
    Photoshop to handle the color that you select the proper printer profile.
    It's very hard to help with color management via email, you may want to
    check some of the on-line color management websites on google.

    Totally useless as I explained in detail that I had already done all of this and was very familiar with color management and the process of using it. And that it was not until the latest OS-X and Epson's driver that the problems started.

  • Using Epson DX6000 printer with leopard and timecapsule

    I can print fine when i plug in the printer direct to the macbook, but not when connecting the printer direct to the timecapsule. Macbook sees it ok, and says it's printed to it but nothing happens. Tried reinstalling drivers' deleting preferences etc but no good. And like i said works fine when connected directly.
    Can anyone please advise?

    That was my experience as well - the key was getting rid of the old driver.
    Finally figured it out after spending literally days on this problem.
    Read this post first:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5862672
    The key for me was to totally get rid of the old epson driver. I had the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 - GutenPrint v5.1.3 driver. It produced horrible washed out results. Photoshop could see the printer, and actually printed images, but they looked washed out. After replacing all the inks, and running numerous test prints - after switching it to my windows machine and back, I finally got it working. Follow the instructions on the post listed above. The part where they have you "repair permissions" did not complete for me. Something happened and the process just aborted. Why that happened I do not know. Once the old drivers were off, I went into system preferences/print & fax. I plugged the printer back in. I added it with the newly downloaded and installed driver from Epson. When I could select which driver to use I DID NOT USE the GutenPrint driver. This time I was prompted to use an Epson SP R2400 driver. I printed a test page - all looked ok. I fired up Photoshop, and voila - my gorgeous prints on my fantastic Epson R2400 are back. Man I was a real unhappy camper for the past 7 days. So I am back in business.
    Good luck - hope it helps.

  • No longer printing with Leopard!!

    Since upgrading to Leopard I can no longer print anything on Lexmark x5470 all-in-one, regardless of what program I am using, after asking to print the program crashes. I have reinstalled both Leopard and printer sofware,also latest drivers,but it makes no difference.It's really frustrating!!!!!

    There are several posts here on problems printing with Lexmark and the IJQuality plugin. If that is the crash you are seeing, you can rename or delete that plugin. It will cause a loss of some functionality, but it won't crash. If you'd like, post the entire crash log from Console here, and we can confirm if that is what's happening.
    hope this helps

  • Best Practice for Installation of Both Leopard and Aperture 2 upgrade.

    I've finally bought the bullet and purchased both Leopard and Aperture 2.0 upgrade. I've tried searching for a best practice to install both, but haven't been able to find one--only trouble shooting type stuff. Any suggestions, things to avoid, etc would be greatly appreciated. Even a gentle shove to a prior thread would be helpful. . . .
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    • First be really sure that all your apps work well with 10.5.3 before you leave 10.4.11, which is extraordinarily stable.
    • Immediately prior to and immediately after every installation of any kind (OS, apps, drivers, etc.) got to Utilities/Disk Utility/First Aid, and Repair Permissions. Repairing Permissions is not a problem fixer per se, but anecdotally many folks with heavy graphics installations (including me) who follow that protocol seem to maintain better operating environments under the challenge of heavy graphics than folks who do not diligently do so.
    • When you upgrade the OS do a "clean install."
    • RAM is relatively inexpensive and 2 GB RAM is limiting. I recommend adding 4x2 GB RAM. One good source is OWC: http://www.owcomputing.com/.
    • After you do your installations check for updates to the OS and/or Aperture, and perform any upgrades. Remember to Repair Permissions immediately prior to and immediately after the upgrade installations.
    • If you are looking for further Aperture performance improvement, consider the Radeon HD 3870. Reviews at http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html and at http://www.barefeats.com/harper17.html.
    Good luck!

  • HP Photosmart 7550 printer with Leopard

    I'd just like to know if there is anyone who is able to use an HP Photosmart 7550 printer with Leopard.
    I can print, but the printing is all garbled.

    Thank you for your help HP Mac Architect.
    Print Driver from System Preferences-> Print & Fax shows HP PhotoSmart 7550 - CUPS+GutenPrint 5.1.3 . There is another version called HP PhotoSmart 7550 - GutenPrint 5.1.3 .
    The same "drivers" show up under http://localhost:631 which tells me that my system is only finding the CUPS driver (I think its a PPD or Postscript Printer Definition file that works with 1 driver for all printer types).
    I downloaded the HP drivers on 11/2/2007 - that file is called gutenprint05.1.3.U.dmg (Jun 19 2007). I ran Install Gutenprint 5.1.3.mkpg found on the disk image. This installed the HP PhotoSmart 7550 - CUPS + GutenPrint 5.1.3 drivers.
    I also have an HP Printer Selector program from 11/2/2007. If I click the "select" button on this program, it brings me to a screen called HP Printer Utility. At the bottom of the screen it appears to specify a non-cups driver: PhotoSmart/AiO connectivity: photosmart 7550, SN:CNxxxxxx. I can print a test and a diagnostic page from this utility window. The printing is absolutely perfect from this window.
    So to me it appears that there is an old photosmart driver seen from the HP Printer Selector program and there are CUPS drivers. yet System Prefs can't find this driver. Or am I wrong.....
    Thanks again for trying to help

  • Will the Genius Bar install Snow Leopard and Aperture 3 for me...?

    I have an iMac 20" Core 2 Duo with Leopard. RAM is maxed at 3GB. All my data is backed up on a external HDD using Time Machine.
    I need upgrade to Snow Leopard in order to get Aperture 3 (which I need in order to read RAW photos from my new camera).
    Anyway, ever since I upgraded to Leopard I haven't been thrilled with my iMac's performance (I did the quick upgrade instead of the complete rebuild). So I want to wipe it clean this time and start over with a fresh install of Snow Leopard. The iMac is 3 years old now, so I think it's time for a fresh start.
    I'm not comfortable doing this myself. Will the Genius Bar do this for me? I'm happy to buy the Snow Leopard and Aperture upgrades. But will the Genius Bar charge me? Or will they do it for free since I paid them already for the software?
    Thanks for your help!

    I do not know if they would do that or not; I believe there is a maximum time limit for a Genius Bar appointment and these kinds of installs may take longer than that. And, it is truly easy to do; your performance problems may not have had anything to do with the OS, but possibly some incompatible third party software or some other corruption. So, I'm not trying to change your mind, but if you want to try it yourself, there are a lot of people here who'd be able to walk you through it.
    Now, another idea: did you know that iPhoto supports RAW formats? You can find many help articles like this one by going to Apple support and typing iPhoto RAW into the search field:

  • Pdf files print with horizontal and vertical lines

    All of a sudden, today, when I print pdf files, they print with horizontal and vertical lines.  I thaught it was the computer or printer. So I printed from another computer on the network, and printed to a different printer with the same result.  It is not just that one pdf file either, I have tried multiple files.  HELP.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    It is not clear how you are creating the files. It appears that they were created by Distiller from PS files that were created in some way. I also noted that you are using AA8.1.0. You may want to try to update (do all the updates in order) as a possible fix. It may be in the creation process also. Several packages will split large graphics into parts and create the image. I think this is a characteristic of OFFICE 2007 (docx) files - but I am not sure yet. Tell us how you created the files - step by step, including the scan.
    If you have the original documents, why not simply print to the Adobe PDF printer. The result would be smaller and a lot cleaner.

  • Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

    A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
    Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
    On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
    To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
    1st: iWeb media center
    To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
    Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
    Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
    2nd: Drag and Drop
    I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
    As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
    Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
    http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
    So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

    Jedi,
    Perhaps you are right.
    I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
    I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
    After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
    I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
    Now I have 2 questions:
    1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
    2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
    TIA,
    Narvon

    Am I missing something with Leopard and the new keyboard, how do I turn on Num Lock?
    thanks,

    well OSX doesnt necessarily use "num lock", unless of course your using bootcamp?
    but either way here is the keyboard chart/mapping comparison:

    (clear is generally "num lock" jsut press it to use. or F6 or maybe fn & F6 on the wireless new keyboard)

  • HP Officejet Pro L7680 All in one printer with leopard

    Greetings,
    Both my girlfriend and I print from home on this nice, newer printer that works great. There were a few bugs with Leopard once we installed it, but eventually it worked perfectly (for the last month or so) with my Macbook Pro. Today however I could not print and it showed up as an active printer. I recalled that when I was stuck in the past, I deleted the printer and then added it again and it worked....however today there is no printer showing up in the boxes. When I click the "+" sign, there is nothing in any choices. I am hooked up wirelessly and have a wireless hub and wireless cable internet. Basically most anyone with a mac could walk in my home and print and I like that. Now it seems my printer has "disappeared"...I did reboot the Mac and also the printer with no luck.
    Thanks in advance for any hints or tips!
