Re-install LaserWriter 8.6.5+ to access printer utility?

Apple gave me my Powerbook with a laser printer set up in Classic. I am trying to get into the Desktop printer utility but I get "Desktop printer can not run with out laserwrtr 8.6.5 or greater. You may need to enable it from the extensions mgr. or re-install." I havent been able to find a driver for 8.6.5+ and anything laser is enabled in extensions mgr. Any ideas? I cant print from Word!

Hi, RobDV -
You should already have a version of LaserWriter 8 greater than v. 8.6.5 in the OS 9 Extensions folder. The minimum version of OS 9 usable as Classic is OS 9.1, which comes with LaserWriter 8 v. 8.7. OS 9.2.x uses versions later than that.
The problem may have to do with trying to use OS 9's Desktop Printer Utility while using OS 9 as Classic (i.e., while the machine is booted to OSX).
Not all OS 9 software will run satisfactorily when OS 9 is used as Classic under OSX. Many extensions are not available for use by Classic; more importantly, since OSX retains control of the hardware even when Classic is run, OS 9 programs that require direct access to the hardware will not have it in Classic.
If the above pertains, and your PB is OS 9 bootable, try booting it to OS 9 rather than using it as Classic while booted to OSX.
If you are booted to OS 9 (and not using Classic under OSX as your post indicates), then perhaps the conflict described in this tip applies and is interfereing -

Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.

Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge. When I try, I get a message that says, "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." Is Photoshop CC a qualifying product? It has been opened a number of times, but it doesn't solve this problem.

I am having this exact same problem and just upgraded to Windows 7...many people are saying to update the Plug In for Camera Raw to 4.6, but that is not working for me to see it in Bridge or Camera Raw.

It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.

The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access

How do I access Disk Utility for 10.7.1?

How do I access Disk Utility for 10.7.1? I found it in the forums a few weeks ago, used it, then lost the directions. This is a last ditch attempt
to use OS Lion. I parted my hair incorrectly when I installed and have been plagued by the dread rainbow spinning ball in EVERY application. Yes, every. Name one, Safari, Firefox, Text Edit, Mail, Excel, Word, iTunes, Garage Band, Calculator, Calender, iPhoto....yes, every, and I cannot
find a solution that works. I have back up files on two different hard drives 500 gig and 1 terrabyte with all my music, photo and writing files.
I am a writer and a musician so imagine the frustration. OS 10.6 is an option of course. My dedication to Apple and each new OS is deep so
I am hoping that somehow there will a fix, an upgrade, something that does not require me to go bac to the much more endangered species named OS.
hahhaa! Just stalled waiting for the ball to finish with it's random spinning.... SO, this is like a last desperate .... it just did two more stalls.
NO OTHER apps running, just little Firefox holding on for dear life, last desperate request for a fix.
MacKeeper has been great in sending helpful directions for getting the Antivirus to work after it mysteriously decided to stop working, Quite MacKeeper, go to Activity Monitor, force quit helper, start up MacKeeper and run program. It works!
SO before my third stall stops me, please post directions to open disk utility in administration mode so that I can do any further repairs that have not worked by using it from the open system. Also keychain synching stopped working with Lion.
Thanks to any and all who can help.

Press and hold Command-R keys and reboot. You'll then start up in the Lion Recovery HD. You'll find Disk Utility there.
Command-R to the rescue.
Just hold down Command-R during startup and Lion Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Lion, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if Lion Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.

Cannot access printer options

We recently purchased an iMac with OS X Leopard and installed two printers - Epson CX4200 and R1900. Both drivers seem to have installed properly however, we have no access to advanced printing options like print quality, additional media sources like the roll feeder on the R1900, and custom color options usually available in a seperate Epson window. We followed the Help instructions to go to system preferences and printer driver window to select the options available but no options appear. The status monitor and utilities seem to work fine, but none of the options seem to be recognized by the operating system. Any ideas?

Kappy: I am having the same problem with my Epson 740i printer and also with PageSender on my iMac Intel 24 OS 10.5.5. The Epson driver is there and I am able to use the utility to see ink levels etc. But when I use an application such as Pages or AW and go File>Print my printer shows up and will print if I click the Print button but if I click the Presets button no printer options are available, just Standard.

How do I access Epson's print utility interface from Mountain Lion

How do I run a "print utility" on my Epson Stylus C120 and R1800 printers (older Epson models) with the new Mountain Lion operating system? Since I updated to Mountain Lion, I can no longer access functions like head cleaning/aligning or ink status.
Epson hasn't created updated "drivers" for these printer models and Apple's built-in dialog box for print set-up and other settings don't provide access to printer maintenance functions.
I can't use my printers until this problem is solved. HELP!!!

scraps,
I successfully accessed all the utility functions and print settings of my Epson printers through the new Mountain Lion interface AFTER I first wiped out all my old Epson drivers (listed under "print and scan" in system preferences). Once those old drivers are deleted, plug in your printers (with the power on) and check for a software update on your computer. If the new software doesn't appear, turn your printer on and off while you check again. You should be able to regain all the functions of you printer with the updated drivers. For more detailed step by step instructions on uninstalling and updating your drivers, you can contact Epson--I didn't keep the instructions they e-mailed me or I'd pass them on to you. This is a frustrating prob but it can be solved. I hope you are up and running quickly!

Hi, I've just installed mavericks but my HPc4180 will not print and is showing a 'blank' page in previews can anyone help me?

A few suggestions for you:
Try:
uninstall all HP utilities or other HP apps on your Mac
see if there is updated software on the HP website
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
Do a factory reset on your printer
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple

Can't log in with valid password, can't boot from disk, can't access disk utility, in single user mode can't reset password as appears locked in caps mode with '?' for forward slash, can anyone help?

Which keyboard layout you were using? German, French ... I suppose your layout is reset to the default: US and you are unable to find the "?" or "/" ...
Please have a look into the keyboard viewer, to see how the layout of your keyboard is actually.

Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions. I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue. I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

Problem with Printer Utility Setup when installing Epson printer

Hi everyone,
Hope some kind soul here can help me out on this.
I bought a Epson Stylus CX7300 All-in-one printer yesterday and am having difficulty installing the printer driver onto my eMac running on OSX 10.3.9.
I followed the procedure on the Epson installation disc and even called up their customer support office and went through step-by-step guides to troublesome the cause. Even downloaded the latest driver from the Epson site, and installed it, but every time I open up a document and tries to print, the following would occur:
1. When I click "PRINT", a pop-up will appear, and under the printer field, it will be indicated as "NO PRINTER SELECTED"
2. I would then select "EDIT PRINTER LIST" from the printer field - after which another pop-up will appear saying "You have no printers available. Would you like to add your list of printers now?"
3. When I click "ADD", an error pop-up will appear saying "The application Printer Setup Utility has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected. Would you like to submit a bug report to Apple?"
I have submitted tonnes of "bug reports" to Apple since yesterday but nothing happened.
I also tried to open Printer Utility Setup directly from under System/Applications/Utilities, but the same error will appear and it will just quit "unexpectedly".
Is there any remedy to this?
Oh, the strange thing is, the CX7300 can scan images fine, and I also managed to do a test print from Epson's utility.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Alvinology

Hi, I was just about to post the same question myself. I'm trying to sort out a friends iMac G5 with a Canon Pixma(?) printer. In this case the printer used to work OK, but after moving house and setting it up again, Print Utility crashes every time when trying to add the printer.
Thanks
