Substitute drivers until drivers are released?

Hello. I have a Lexmark Z605 printer, and I understand that Lexmark is working on Snow Leopard drivers as we speak. In the meantime, I would like to use a substitute driver, but would love a little guidance.
Here's my situation...
When I try to add the printer in my Print Fax preferences, The printer model shows up on my USB, but no drivers are available in the Auto Select below. So I try to select a driver on my own and don't know which one I can use as a substitute. I was told that a generic printer driver may work, but I'm getting 10 different options (ex. Generic PCL 4 LF Printer - Gutenprint v5.2.3). Which one do I use?
I would rather have the correct driver, but I think this is my only option at the moment. Is there a generic Lexmark driver for Snow Leopard that I'm not seeing on the list?
Thx!

Lexmark can't use a generic driver - read this:

  • I have a macbook pro, and i want to transfer my hard drive from my macbook, but the display drivers and such are different.  How do i do this?

    I have a macbook pro, and i want to transfer my hard drive from my macbook (500g), but the display drivers and such are different.  How do i do this and is it possible?
    The Macbook Pro has Mac OS X 10.4.11 (70g hard drive)
    The Macbook has Mac OS X 10.6.8 (500g hard drive)

    The MacBook's hard drive lacks the necessary hardware drivers to boot the MacBook Pro even though it has a much newer OS on it; that's why simply moving it into the Pro doesn't work. Presumably you have a very old MB Pro, because only the very first MB Pro model (produced January to May 2006) was ever offered with an 80GB hard drive. Are you sure you want to move your big drive into such an old machine? The MacBook must be newer, because the first MacBook was introduced just as the first Pro model was discontinued.

  • NVidia Drivers in Bootcamp are OLD!!!!

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 15" I5 with the 330m Nvidia graphics card (256)
    The nVidia drivers in bootcamp are 196.21, currently 257.21 is out. Apple, you are 61 versions OUT-OF-DATE. Update your stupid drivers so Mac users can actually play games! OR tell us how we can circumvent this install issue.
    Here is what I've tried:
    1. Go download latest (257.21) drivers from nVidia website.
    2. Try to install and get a message saying there are no drivers for my hardware. It doesn't know that it can update it. See reason below
    3. I've done the manual install and that doesn't work either, Windows says its not compatible.
    4. Trying beta drivers now.
    Please don't tell me to go to LaptopVideo2Go because that doesn't work at all, those drivers are for computers and manufacturers that are ON NVidia's support opt-in list for graphics drivers.
    If you are going to put these "awesome and magical" graphics cards in then either UPDATE your drivers and stay CURRENT or opt-in and have nvidia do all the work.
    I'm NEVER buying another Mac...EVER!!!!

    It had a lot of freezes with the old driver, but today I found the solution:
    1. Go to the nVidia driver download page: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    2. Go for "Option1: Manually find drivers for my NVIDIA products."
    Product Type: GeForce
    Product Series: GeForce 300M Series (Notebook)
    Product: GeForce GTS 360M
    Operating System: Your OS (I used Windows 7 64-bit)
    Language: Your Language (I used US)
    3. Download the driver. At the time of writing this, the current version was 260.89, the filename of the download was 260.89notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
    4. Start the installation and made sure to check the "clean install" option.
    The installation should go through without any trouble.
    After restarting, all my problems with freezes and sometime sluggish behaviour was gone. Seriously made my day...
    Hope that helps.

  • If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

    If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

        mln2603,
    Great question, it's important to have an idea when you can get the phone. Currently, the launch date annouced is September 19th, 2014. The stores will receive phones on that day as released and they will sell on the same bases, first come first serve.

  • Error maximum number of files already open error.No Other files can be opened or printed until some are closed

    Hi everyone,
    While opening a file in Adobe reader 10 in Windows 7,I am getting the error as
    "The maximum number of files are already open.No Other files can be opened or printed until some are closed."
    Can Anyone help or suggest a setting for this ?
    Thanks in Advance
    Omkar

    Hello omkar841987,
    Could you please let me know how many files have you opened simultaneously.
    This count will include files that are being displayed as well as opened (without being shown in the viewer).
    Using Reader, you cannot make any setting for the same, but close some of the files before crossing that limit.
    It also depends on your OS and memory size as you would need enough memory to open many files at a time.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • HT203200 I made yearly subscription to Chandamama junior English and Telugu magazines which are released on monthly.  I could download for only 2months and cannot download any more.  Please help

    I have made yearly subscription to Chandamama junior english and Telugu magazines which are released monthly by publishers.  I could download for only 2months from itunes store and now cannot download any more.  No error message.  When I enter my itunes store password, it simply ignores.  Please help.

    Hi Charlotte,
    You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
    Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
    HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
    IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
    To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
    The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

  • How to ensure locks on objects are released after one transaction

    Hi,
    While a program is performing successive operations over the same object, there can be a scenario that after the first operation is completed it may still have a lock over the object. This would result that the object is not available for locking to proceed with the second operation. Hence, the entire record processing would end up in errors. So how we can ensure that after the first operation the locks are released ?
    Regards,
    Ratheesh

    Hi Bhaskaran,
    Please note the Implicit locks set by the system will be deleted whenever the system finds a commit or rollback actions either implicitly or explicitly.
    implicit release of locks takes place whenever there is a CALL SCREEN, LEAVE TO SCREEN,
    SUBMIT PROGRAM, LEAVE TO TRANSACTION, CALL FUNCTION etc.
    for more info Please go through the SAP LUW concept
    Regards

  • Mozilla won't open certain pages until they are open in IE

    There are certain webpages (I.E. www.spc.noaa.gov) that no longer open in Mozilla until they are opened in Internet Explorer first. It's the strangest thing but someone else at work now has the same problem. Basically I will open Mozilla, go to www.spc.noaa.gov, it says server cannot be found. I minimize Mozilla and open IE, I then go to www.spc.noaa.gov, minimize IE, and the refresh mozilla and the web page works.

    Bee: Sorry for that. I'm obviously not talking about you at all. I'm a person who always tries to be very helpful. If I clicked in a thread and the guy posted a couple links saying that they wouldn't work it wouldn't even dawn on me to not click the link and tell the guy if they worked for me or not. Ultimately, a whack of people read the thread and couldn't be bothered to click and report--yet those people I'm sure will be the first to take the help. I'm not impatient about my issue here... honestly. Sorry if I came off unnapreciative in advance and was owly. If there's anything that I can ever do to help you I will anytime.
    Klaus: Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated ... what else were you looking for?
    (for product specifics, I updated them after the post and could be the reason why they're not showing up. I listed them in the thread anyway. Maybe 2 times a charm??)

  • E-edition freezes up with 1A.pdf The max. number of files are already open no other files can be opened or printed until some are closed , showing four of five and computer froze any I must close by shutting down manually.

    My online E-Edition newspaper will freeze up after loading the front page and gives me the message that the max. number of files are already open and no other files can be printed or opened until some are closed. 1A.pdf. When you click ok it repeats itself and you have to force shutdown by holding off button. I'm totally stumped.

    I have read that "1000" is default maximum for Acrobat 4 or Acrobat 5 (I don't remmember it exactly anymore). Concerning my PC and RAM. I have a high-end graphical computer at my office; so I'm sure the RAM memory is not the reason.
    Anyway, thanks for answer.

  • Sametime 7.5 can't see the words typed until they are already sent

    Using Lotus Notes Sametime 7.5 user cannot see the words she types until they are sent. Very strange & I nor the techs in my office have seen this issue before. I then went to remove then reinstall the program but got an error message could not find the uninstall file in C:\ Program Files\Lotus\Sametime Client. I'ts not there in my setup either I have yet to find the uninstall file for Sametime yet. If anyone knows anything about this issue it would save me the asprin I'm going to consume looking for it.
    Thanks

    Tried it, didn’t work, how ever I do believe that it’s the 3945ABG card have a problem, since my old IBM R50 doesn’t have any problem with the WRT54G router version 7. But it’s strange that the WRT54G router that is sold with firmware version 5 don’t have the problem!? The last one of the WRT54G router with firmware version 5 that I bought, is even updated to the newest version of firmware that are available for that version, and it still works ok with the 3945ABG card, so Linksys do seems to have a problem too, regarding the 7 version that are sold  in Europe. Do you have any other suggestion to fix the problem?
    To fix the problem her and now, I had to buy a second-hand WRT54G router with firmware version 5, how ever I still got the router with firmware version 7, and still want to find a solution to the problem with this version.
    I and my company won’t buy any new WRT54G router before this problem is fixed! And as long as the problem isn’t fixed we will for sure not recommend it to anyone who asked us for advice regarding routers. Because you have to remember that quite a lot of the new portable pc’s that is sold to day, is sold with the 3945ABG card.

  • Best video capturing program until FCP5 is released?

    This question is for the videoguys out there
    I bought an intel imac and was relying on FCP5 but now I realize it is not universal until march. I have tons of video to capture from mini DV and I want to have it all captured and ready for editing in FCP5 when it is available. I want to make sure it captures in the right AVI format for FCP5. What is the best video capturing program to use in the mean time until FCP5 is released?

    I thought about imovie but I am not familar with the different formats imovie can capture in. I need a compatiable format for FCP5

  • Tick boxes where certain fields are released

    Hi. Does anyone know whether it is possible to have check boxes where once selected certain fields are 'released' for the user to complete.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • BootCamp Update 3.2.  .exe file, Windows 7 uninstallable with cordless mouse until drivers in.   What next then?

    Trying to get windows 7 to run under iMac. I am learning to fly and the best flight simulator (I'm told) is still FSX which does not run on the iMac which I made my main computer infrastructure last year.  And besides it's got the best screen in the house.  Before buying both a virgin copy of Windows 7 (expensive) and of FSX (ditto) I checked the forums and there are definitely people saying it works.
    My iMac has a cordless mouse and a cordless keyboard.  I have read that the latest software which makes these work is in BootCamp3.2. 
    I quote from the apple pdf on installing windows:
    Step 1 : Check for updates.  In Mac OS X go to http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp and check whether you need to update your software before you can install windows. 
    Yes I do.  Can't call that URL very helpful on file selection, but OK, I worked it out.  (Though could someone tell me if ALL intervening updates need to be applied.  I had no way of telling where the full set of updates was, so I had to assume installing the latest would work.)
    OK - so I need to install BootCamp_3.2_64-bit.exe
    But having downloaded it, if I run it it opens in a text editor.  Why is that?  Explanation will help.  But why is there nothing at Apple on this?  It's apple software. 
    Searching I found people sounding equally confused, and someone says you'll need to burn it to a disc.  That took a fair while too - but I did it.  I found the help on burning very poor.  It's hard to find how to put a file on a disk.  The defaults are all for music and films. (Tip - use Finder, not other options, when you put a blank disk in)
    So I now have the bootcamp upgrade file on a DVD.  I learn (slowly) that because it is a .exe it must be run from Windows.  But I have not got windows, that is what I am trying to load.  And when I load the Windows Disc I can't get very far, because it can't cope with a cordless mouse, until the drivers are upgraded.
    I am now worried that things will get worse, because the rest of the forums say you can't make Boot Camp Assistant work when there's already a partition made.  And, there is.  I made one before being trapped by a driverless cordless mouse.
    I have an iMac 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7.  8Gb 1333 MHz DDR3.  ATI Radeon HD 5750.  A cordless mouse and keyboard.  I Bought Windows 7 Home edition 64 bit.    
    I'm a bit disillusioned.  I bought this hyper computer to run some number crunching simulations via an Oracle database.  The setting up was 10 - 20 times more difficult than setting up Oracle on my Dell laptop.  The simulations ran half as fast as on the laptop and appeared to be frying the iMac's own hard drive.  So I stopped.  I flirted with Times Ten - but it was unsuited to my codebase (not Apple's fault) and then gave up.  So this lovely computer is now used by my daughter to watch movies.
    This is the second attempt at doing something moderately serious, and both have been very disappointing.  If you think it's worth saving someone who is about to give up on Apple completely and leave this powerhouse to an idle life of Facebook, then your assistance will be sincerely appreciated.  It's been 6 hours, a very irritating six hours, so far.

    You really really do need to read the Windows 7 FAQ the Boot Camp 3.0 Installation and Setup guide for 10.6  and the Boot Camp 3.0 MacOS 10.6 FAQ  a couple of times to really get to know the whole picture.
    "Boot Camp" is just a basic set of WINDOWS drivers to run Apple hardware. You install Window first, via BCAssistant to start it, then after it finish's the install and restarts into Windows then you insert the "whatever you made disk" with the Boot Camp drivers on it, it should then give you an installer window, just like on the Mac side, if you want to "Run" it or "Open as a file". (Run it)
    The Apple Software Updater updates ALL the Apple files including BootCamp Assistant on the Mac, it updates the Boot Camp Assistant to look for the latest drivers to use when it gives you the option to download the files onto whatever you want to use to download onto.
    BTAssistant to partition the drive, then it will boot off the Windows installer, there is no more Mac control, it's ALL Windows now, have Windows format it the way you want, then it will finish by restarting into Windows, then you install the drivers while booted in Windows.
    You need a wired mouse AND keyboard just like the instructions said. If you have the earlier Magic Mouse then they suggest you plug it into the keyboard instead of the computer.
    If you partitioned like the instructions said, via Boot Camp Assistant, you can install Windows anytime you want, it won't forget it's there. YOU just have to remember where it is.
    If you do have problems with the partition then at the bottom of the instructions it tells you how to restore the partition back to normal then you can start over.
