Sharing Konica/Minolta 1350W windows xp printer with tiger?

it seemingly can't be done. i've googled and tried all the suggestions. apparently it has something to do with the fact that the printer is unsupported for mac. i can see it in the workgroup from the mac, and add it to my printers, but when i print nothing ever comes out. anyone have any ideas?

Konica Minolta bizhub 223 not compatible with Mountain Lion?

I've downloaded the driver for the Konica Minolta bizhub 223 and POOF, upon the message box that says installation is complete, I cannot find the printer installed anywhere. The System Preferences are no help either because it does not detect the printer anywhere.
Yes, the printer is on, plugged into the network (all my other computers networked to it are printing fine, they are PC's however)
Yes, my MacBook is connected to the network
I just don't understand what I am doing wrong and why I cannot add it.
The weird thing, it was working fine this past Friday. Nothing has changed since then.
Anyone with any thoughts?

Hi Nachos,
First I installed the driver via the CD that came with the printer and upon "install completion", Nothing.
Then I installed the latest driver (for 10.6 or later OS) driver from the Konica Minolta website and Nothing.
I do not get Software Updates for this printer, I'm not sure why.
No, the printer does not show up in my list of Printers when I go into System Prefs ---> Print & Scan. It did 3 days ago, now nothing.
I'm thinking it doesn't like the Lion upgrade or the updates that have taken place since.... I need to get a new printer, I believe.
Anyone else have thoughts?

Can't get a good print with Tiger - Epson R300

Hi, I have a year old imac - tiger - photoshop CS3 -
I have a printer Epson R300 that worked Great! with my older mac/older photoshop.
I have tried many things to try to get a decent print.
I scan in paintings using bright colors with lots of details in the color.
All the prints come out not great, when this printer used to give me beautiful prints with older mac.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Does the R300 just not cut it with this new spiffy computer?
I wish i never got rid of my other computer. It was slow, but great.
I have done considerable research and tried things and made notes on my prints. All prints are substandard from my point of view.
Any help would be appreciated. I need the step by step help.
I'm not that good at computers.
thanks!

Odds are very high that the problem is not with your OS (assuming you are on 10.4.11), your Mac or the Epson printer (assuming that you have recently downloaded and re-installed the very latest Epson driver).
Odds are that your color management setup is flawed. Carefully follow the steps at
Good luck!

Sharing a Windows XP printer with a MacBook Pro

Am trying to share aWindows XP printer (HP Laserjet 1212 MFP connected via USB to Windows laptop)witha Macbook Pro OSX Lion over a wireless network. I can get a doc into the printqueue on the laptop hosting the printer but nothing prints. The print queuesays it's printing and it does complete and delete from queue, but nothingprints. I have tried attaching the printer as a generic PS and PCL printer whenconfiguring the Mac printer share but get same result. I don't see the driversfor the 1212 in the drop-down list on the Mac when I connect to theprinter.

Should be able to.

Sharing windows hp printer with solaris

hi
I have hp laser jet P1102 printer which i want to share with solaris. I have added the printer in solaris using lpadmin but i am not able to print to this printer.
I have another printer which is laserjet 1320 which is added to solaris box in the same way and i am able to print without any issues.
i would like to know if there is any step to know if a printer would print successfully from unix.
looking forward to your support.

thank you very much for your reply
so when i buy a new printer i how do i know it will be able to print from solaris. By comparing the above two printers i can see that one printer is Postscript enabled which is actually printing from solaris. So if i buy a printer that supports posscript will it print properly?
please correct me if my understanding is wrong becuase we need to buy a printer which will print from solaris.

Safari 5 don't print jpg images in Windows and prints with problems in Mac

Hi All,
When I try to print images in Safari (Windows) it will print blank page.
This is sample source:
<html lang="en-US">
<body>
<im g src="http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4651/wefwefwe.jpg">
</body>
</html>
This is ok in Mac.
Also in Mac When I'm printing image in Landscape it print image in 2 pages.
Image really fits in landscape mode and there is no need for second page.
I thought that the problem is margins..., but changing them do smaller values doesn't help.
Can someone help out?

Hi, I also have the same problem that cannot print preview on .jpg image.
When I try to change image to .png , it work.
It's this safari5 bug?

Konica Minolta Bizhub C220 doesnt print anymore

With Pages 5.0 I get a crash everytime (PDE module)
Is ther a new driver available for KM ?

No, you'll have to wait for Kinoca to release a new driver.
Or you could try deleting the plugin that's causing the crash:

Epson Printing with Tiger 10.4.11

Thought I'd enlist the help of the "heavy hitters" of this forum...
You may know of this problem, but I just became aware of it. Upon reactivating my trusty Epson Stylus Color 1160 printer this week (and a long while since upgrading from Panther), I discovered that the Epson printer drivers no longer work, nor does the Epson Print Utility (which is supposed to be used for alignment, head cleaning and nozzle test).
It means that, because I'm running a PowerPC machine, I can no longer print my valuable archives of large scale high resolution Southwest photos... which I have optimized for certain ICC Color Profiles in ColorSync.
Epson tells me they're no longer supporting the software for the 1160 and they refuse to help, other than to refer me to use the GIMP Print drivers that shipped with OS X 10.4.11.
No offense to Apple or SourceForge (who make these drivers), but this solution is laughable. First of all, I can't find any ColorSync facility built into the GIMP interface in Tiger; and, secondly, the print image size in the GIMP drivers seems to be seriously bolloxed (as my 13" x 19" test printout printed at 8-1/2" x 11" EXCEPT for a 3/8" band in the middle that was actually 13" x 19").
Yes, I have downloaded, but not yet installed the most recent GIMP drivers ("GutenPrint") from sourceforge, but have to admit I don't have the confidence to apply them...
Please let me know any thoughts and recommendations... Thanks!

BDAqua, thanks for your kind and generous response.
1.) "Since it's a Dual Boot, can you use the OS9 drivers?"
Beats me... I print from Photoshop 7. I can't remember if the program runs under OS 9; nor do I know if running Photoshop under Tiger would let me select an OS 9 printer driver, in lieu of a Tiger driver.
2.) "Does this old OSX driver work?"
It's the same one I had installed under Panther (and the one Epson is still offering), but it doesn't show up at print time.
3.) "Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4... "
Not sure if this is the ticket -- I surmise the installation of Tiger installs the GIMP drivers, in precedence to the Epson (1.2Ba) driver -- or at least somehow the Tiger print routine won't invoke the old Epson Driver (which I never uninstalled).
4.) " ...I wouldn't be surprised that you could use a later Epson Driver and/or habd edit the PPD to the correct dimensions."
Wow. I assume such editing would exceed my skills (and I'm not familiar with the term "habd"). Are there instructions, somewhere?
5.) "If it uses 4 inks perhaps the Epson WorkForce 1100 Wide-format Printer driver would work?"
A creative thought. I've never looked into the structure of PPDs (or drivers), and have been assuming that either a.) the literal printer name would govern invocation of the code, or b.) Epson might have told me if another set of drivers and utilities might work, or c.) if they abandoned updating their 1160 software for Tiger and PowerPC, they well might have thrown the rest of their printers overboard, as well. I'll try to look into this...

Konica Minolta magicolor 7450 Unable to print to Custom paper sizes

Hi
I have a Konica Minolta magicolor 7450 laser printer that (since switching to mac from windows) is unable to print to Custom paper sizes (entered in the print dialog box from within photoshop CS3) and nothing will print from illustrator CS3 at all.
I have OS 10.5.2 with the 10.1 photoshop update, and the 13.0.2 illustrator update.
When I use to use windows xp & photoshop CS2 I didn't seem to have trouble with this function, but since jumping over to mac & CS3, I can't print on any paperstock other than the defult sizes listed (which it dose perfectly) - I've re downloaded & installed the printers driver, downloaded & installed a firmware update for the printer and tried printing with a network cable & usb cable - all with no luck. I've also tried entering in the custom paper size in the printers LCD panel & setting in as default but it still wants to print on A4 or A3 paper...
Any ideas out there would be appreciated!

so I've been pulling my hair out for 2 days & nights now trying to figure out why I couldnt print on custom paper sizes - I've just now hit the "help" icon in the print dialog box and found this:
"Creating a custom page size
If you want to print on unusual size paper, such as an odd-size envelope or card, you may be able choose the paper’s size from the Paper Size pop-up menu. To find the Paper Size pop-up menu, choose File > Page Setup, if available. Otherwise, choose File > Print.
If you can’t find the size you need, you can create your own custom paper size.
To create a custom page size:
Open the document you want to print.
Choose File > Page Setup, if it’s available. Choose Page Attributes from the Settings pop-up menu, and then choose Any Printer from the Format For pop-up menu.
Choosing Any Printer ensures that your document can print on any printer that supports the paper size you select.
If Page Setup is not available, choose File > Print.
If the Print dialog contains only two pop-up menus and some buttons across the bottom, click the disclosure triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu.
Choose Manage Custom Sizes from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
Click the Add button.
Type a name for the paper size.
Enter values in the Paper Size and Printer Margins field."
All I had to change was the "any printer" setting from my (konica minolta) printers name to "Any Printer"!! now my custom paper sizes are printing fine and dandy!! phew!!!!!!!!

AUR package for konica minolta laser printer (CUPS)

Hi there,
currently I'm writing a AUR package for the Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430 Desklaser.
I have a question to put the ICC profiles files and special KM files to the cups tree.
The Konica Minolta makefile put the binary "rstertokm5430" to the directory "/usr/lib/cups/filter/" which is completely correct but the *.ppd file and *.icm files are going by default to /usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc5430DL/Profiles (icm files) and to
/usr/share/cups/model/KONICA_MINOLTA/km5430dl.ppd.gz (ppd file)
The directory in my running archlinux is
usrsharecupsmodel*.ppd and
usrsharecupsprofiles*.icm
Additionally there are "Halftones" files (*.bmp)
usrshareKONICA_MINOLTAmc5430DLHalftones*.bmp
I think about to put the Konica Minolta files in to this (new) directory tree:
usrsharecupskm5430dlmodel*.ppd
usrsharecupskm5430dlprofiles*.icm
usrsharecupskm5430dlhalftones*.bmp
How do I have to copy these files to be archlinux compliant ?
best regards,
Frank

frigg, my apologies for overlooking an important point in my last post. The three magicolor drivers have different version numbers, unlike the other examples of multiple printer drivers in one PKGBUILD. This means you will need one PKGBUILD for each driver, in order to have the correct Arch version number. There is still value in doing them together, since they have many common elements.
As a consequence of this change, I think it might be best to put the single PPD file in /usr/share/cups/model/, rather than have a directory with one ppd file in it. It appears that the KM_PPDDIR variable in the configure script controls this location, so I have added a sed command to the build script accordingly.
As another consequence, the package names need to be changed. I would suggest cups-mc2430dl, etc. This uses the short internal names used by the drivers, and Arch package names are supposed to be lower-case. This means that your awk script no longer works for all three drivers. Rather than write three different awk scripts, I have ported your directory change to a sed command. When you package a stand-alone script with the PKGBUILD, you have to also maintain its md5sum, so it is simpler to do everything inside the build script if you can.
Following are the three incomplete PKGBUILD scripts incorporating these changes. They are complete enough that when you run makepkg, they will download the tarball (if it isn't already present), check its md5sum, copy it into the src directory, uncompress it, and modify the configure script. One way for you to proceed from here is to add lines to the build script, run makepkg, check that the right things happen in the src directory, and then that the correct things are put into the correct place in the pkg directory. The next line in the build script runs configure, which won't finish on my system due to the lack of libjbig.

Konica Minolta Bizhub 250 printer driver on Leopard problems

Hello All,
I upgraded to Leopard and lost my printer drivers for both of my printers. I have been able to restore my HP7410 wireless via my airport at home. However, my office printer is a Konica Minolta Bizhub 250K also working through an airport extreme. My problem is that I have tried to download the driver for the Bizhub with the disc that came with the unit. After I go through the download process it says I've downloaded successfully but can not find it on my hard drive, even with MAC's support. I have searched the Konica Minolta support site only to find older versions of the driver. I finally got the (KONICAMINOLTA350105.pkg) to show up on my hard drive but when I open it it only takes me back through installing the (KONICA MINOLTA 350/250/200 Printer Driver Installer for Mac OS X (10.5)) process again without installing a driver.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
DG

Hello DG,
Mac OS X printer installers typically copy files to ./Library/Printers/vendor_name. If the driver is simply a PPD, then it will be copied to ./Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ (note the leading period refers to your hard drive)
I downloaded the driver installer for 10.5 that you mentioned. It creates the folder KONICAMINOLTA under ./Library/Printers/ and has two subfilters, PDEs and filter. I then selected to add an IP printer with a dummy IP address and then searched for the 250 via the Print Using menu, by typing C250. The KONICA MINOLTA C250 PS(P) was then displayed, which I selected to Add.
Now, the issue for you will be how do you connect to this printer via Airport. If the printer is connected via the Ethernet port of the AEBS, then you should be able to add via IP and select either LPD or HP Jetdirect-Socket (which is aka Port 9100 RAW). After entering these details you can then browse for the C250.
Hope this helps,

Print to windows networked printer

I am somewhat new to Mac and wondered if someone might be able to help out.
At work, I am trying to connect to a network printer/copier on a windows machine. I can locate the printer fine, but whenever I try to print to it, it simply prints 7-8 pages of random characters or code with some blank pages mixed into it. Is this a driver issue? The printer/copier is a Konica Minolta 7145. The printer selection now says "General postscript printer." Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Are you using Bonjour on the Mac and the PC?

Konica Minolta bizhub C353 going in to a pause state several times a day.

I have a client with a mixed 10.5 and 10.4 network. Since installing a Konica Minolta bizhub C353 MFP we've been having an issue with the NIC on the MFP locking up (not responding to pings, web utils not coming up) and the print queue showing the machine in a paused state. I am certain that the issue is not related to the MFP because we swapped an identical MFP of the clients from another location and the issue remained on the original network (i.e. the MFP having the problem worked fine at the new location that the MFP not having the problem started screwing up).
A recent packet capture showed that a print job being sent from a workstation using a CUPS based print driver instead of the Konica Minolta driver. The print request has several commands preceding it that are NOT generated by the Konica Minolta driver. These commands actually prevented the document from being distilled from the captured packets and once we removed the commands we were able to distill the document.
So question one is: does OSX use CUPS when printing from a generic driver? Question two is: has anyone had issues with using a generic print driver such as network lockups and the like?

The Console application is located in Application > Utilities.
A good trick on the Mac to open applications is to use Spotlight - the little magnifying glass in the top right hand corner.
To open, either click on the icon or press Command Space. Then type in cons and you will see a list of hits, Console being one of them. Select it and the application will open.
Console is like Windows Event Viewer. Just about everything that goes on the Mac is logged and Console lets you see that.
With Console open, expand the entry /var/log. You should see the cups entry. Expand this and you will see the error_log. It may not mean much to you at first but the trick is to look at the left side of the right hand pane. You will see heaps of I's, meaning information, and if there are any errors they will start with an E.
Note that the start of every job is with the creation of a banner page (a leftover from UNIX days). This can also help you find your way around the log. It will also show all the filters and plugins that are being called for that job and may help identify the extra stuff you were seeing with the sniff, although this could have been a port check to make sure the socket was open.
As for the KM driver, it is often not a bad idea to use a generic driver when troubleshooting, but of course this will not provide the user with all the features of the printer - such as finishing options. So that is why I say it is for troubleshooting. If the generic driver works but the vendor provided doesn't, then you have narrowed down your causes. You'd be surprised by how easy most drivers are to install. But unlike Windows it is a two step process - install the driver software first and then add the print queue. If you find a C353 driver for OS X, then it will probably have an installer that you run (by double-clicking) and this will copy all the relevant driver files to the Mac. Note that you will have to authenticate with an admin account, just like Vista, to run the installer.
Hope this helps you a bit more. Feel free to ask more questions if you need to.

Print to windows attached printer

Hi!
I am facing a "small" problem here in my home lan. I have to computers connected. One is running Windows XP and has attached an Epson Stylous C60 printer. The other is running redhat 9 (2.4.8-20smp)
I have managed to make thw two boxes "talk" via samba.
$ rpm -q samba
samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0
I can read/write from one box to another without problem. The windows can see the linux through the lan and the linux can see the windous after mounting the share. But the thing I cannot do is print from linux to the windows attached printer.
First of all I checked if the printer is supported redhat and I found out that it is.
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_p...pson-Stylus_C60
So this eliminates the obvious question: Can you print with this printer from linux in the first place?
I've read many things about how to print to windows, like
http://www.idevelopment.info/data/U...tLinuxSMB.shtml
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...mb-printer.html
as well as many stuff from google search But there is no way I can solve my problem. I follow the instructions but still I can't print
I also tried cups
$ rpm -q cups
cups-1.1.17-13
But there too I faced the same proble.
Can someone help me out here because I need that printer. I attach my smb.conf file. Any other information I will be standing by to submit.
