Tiger 10.4.3 and Lexmark X75 problems

Being a good Mac person I have been religious about updating my software as it becomes available. But somewhere I seem to have lost the ability to use my Lexmark printer utility. Everytime I try to load it, it crashes. I've generated many reports to Apple, downloaded the latest drivers, reinstalled the software after trashing everything "Lexmark" that I could find and still no luck. I don't know for sure when this happened because I don't use it all that often. But without it I can't align or clean the nozzles or even check ink supplies. I'm getting very frustrated and welcome any suggestions.
PowerBook G4, 17 ,1 GHz PowerPC   Mac OS X (10.4)   Lexmark X75, 3 in 1 printer.

Also having trouble here.
I tried installing from the original CD and from the latest drivers on their website.
The install will not complete, but the scanner does work after going through the install routine.
So, at this point everything works but the printer.
I didn't have any trouble with this printer on my rev. A iMac G5 with OS 10.4.0.
But, what a head-ache getting it to work on my new system with 10.4.3.
Well, at least the scanner works. The rest of the printer is garbage anyway. Good scanner though
I've always had trouble with this printer as a printer, so I've just been using it as a scanner anyway. The print cartridges dry up extremely fast, and they don't print many pages. So, with the high cost of keeping it supplied with ink, I just don't use it as a printer.
Interesting though that now I don't even have the option to try and print with it anymore. No Utility access to align the cartridges (utility just crashes as others said).
But, I have a nice over-sized bulky scanner
Here's hoping someone finds a solution....
Edit:
I just stumbled onto this link about using the Print Utility under classic to get things going:

  • Tiger 10.4.3 and disk utility problems

    After updating to 10.4.3, I can´t fix permissions with disk utility any longer. How does it work?

    Hello Jackthequick,
    If you mean that you are getting messages like the one below, then that is normal and can be safely ignored...
    Hope that helps some.

  • Tiger won't install and other issues

    Trying to help a friend with a suddenly problematic iMac (G4/800 512). Machine is running 10.3.9. Tried to install 10.4 (tiger) - went through installation and ejected after about 30min with a 'can't install' dialogue box (sorry I wasn't there for the actual text, but it failed three times). Ran Preferences in Disk Utility, repaired a couple, then tried to backup iTunes. Superdrive ran like molasses, even at 1x.
    Is this mosaic of issues related??? Is this a nuke and rebuild? Or is this a HD facing extinction?

    It would be helpful to know the exact error message provided with the "can't install" dialogue but did this friend purchase a Tiger retail install package which is on a single DVD and has a black label?
    Any current problems with this Mac running 10.3.9?
    Has the S.M.A.R.T. status for the drive been checked via Disk Utility and if a Tiger retail install package is being used, was Repair Disk (not repair disk permissions) run on the boot volume via Disk Utility when booted from the Tiger install disc before proceeding with the installation?
    Is there plenty of free hard drive space available?

  • Export and import, same problem in 08 as in 07!

    I am so fed up and frustrated with this problems in iPhoto, I had exactly the same thing in iPhoto´07, and on an other installation:
    When I import pictures from a folder on my HD, it imports the pictures, but it NEVER finishes the import-process! It goes on and on forever. So I have to terminate iPhoto and restart. The pictures are then imported, but the "Last import" folder is not updated. And I don´t know what harm this does to the library. Anyone else with this problem?
    I also cannot export. It exports up to ca 370 pictures, and then I get this message "cannot create folder .....".
    I have no iPhoto plugins. A new fresh plain installation, plenty diskspace and 2 GB ram
    I removed iPhoto and then reinstalled - didn´t help
    I did repair disk/permissions, didn´t help
    I rebuilded the database, didn´t help.
    My guess is this is a bug in iPhoto, when will Apple fix this!

    Sitara:
    Boot into Safe Mode and try to import. If it works then there's something amiss with your primary account. It may be another preference that iPhoto interacts with. To see if that's the case do the following:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
    If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
    Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
    If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
    If the import problem persists in the Safe Mode, I suggest you reinstall the 10.4.10 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • 10.6.4 Security Update 2010-05 and Flash Disk Problem

    New Mac and System 10.6.4-- Software update notified me of Security Update 2010-05, and I downloaded yesterday without remembering I had a flask disk in 1 of 4 USB ports, using it to organize data when the hard disk on my older IMac (3 years) crashed. Now if I try a restart with the flash disk in 2 of the 4 ports (including the one it was in or the one with the printer connection), I get a blank gray screen, and must do a cold restart. If the flash disk is in one of the other two remaining ports, no problem. If another flash disk is in any of the 4 ports, no problem. I have reinstalled the security update and reformatted the problem flash disk without any change or success

    Hi chgr5, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    If you don't get an answer in the Tiger/10.4 forums where we are now, you might try...
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1339
    Whew, that's pretty strande, if it were Tiger/10.4 I'd suggest this, but my 10.6 iMac died...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    n Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    Reboot & test.

  • HT1338 Older Mac running Tiger 10.4.11. and Flash no longer works. Upgraded version installed and left me without any Flash support at all??

    I recently attempted to upload the latest FLASH PLAYER. My older Mac (G4) works wonderfully as a desktop computer, so I NEED a flash player
    badly, but now it says that Adobe no longer supports older Mac Power PCs! What's up with that?? Some of the best and most desirable computers
    ever made are of no interest to Adobe?
    I there a work-around to eliminate the need for Adobe's Flash Player?? Another Flash version......can you say Macromedia? HELP

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
    But possibly that only works with Leopard.

  • Lexmark printer problems with lion

    I have a Lexmark E460dn monochrome laser printer that worked before I got my new MacPro (Lion). The printer is in a LAN at home and an iMac on 10.6.x can still print to the printer so the printer is functioning.
    With this computer, I see the printer being looked for, then am getting an error of "Print file was not accepted" and then the printer pauses. I did a software update before I did the migration of data from an older Mac to this Mac Pro. The Lexmark drivers were updated to v 2.5. Apple support yesterday had no explanation or a fix. Still waiting for a reply from Lexmark.
    I have deleted the printer, and re-installed it, but it didn't help. I plugged the printer directly into the left ethernet port (internet is in the right jack) and it couldn't find the printer. I took out the internet in the right ethernet plug and plugged in the printer and I again got the file not accepted.
    I put the ethernet connection into the left plug and I got no ethernet available. Moving the internet back to the right jack and internet returned.
    I connected the printer via a USB connection on the printer and got the same print file not being accepted. When I plugged in the USB cord from the printer into the computer, the printer woke up, so it sensed it was just plugged in.
    My guess is that there is something wrong with the Lexmark driver update for Lion and an additional problem that I might also have a bad ethernet card that only works on one of the plugs (My old Mac had to be replaced because the only ethernet port went bad). I will call Apple support again about the bad ethernet port in the morning.

    Lexmark gave a solution that apparently Applecare or the local service center didn't know about.
    delete the old printer in the printer prefs
    create a new printer using the IP tab (not what bonjour or other source might show normally)
    enter the IP address of the printer
    (would have to change the name of the printer from the IP address to the printer name)
    Took less than a minute to get the printer working.
    Must be something about Lion that behaves differently than previous OS X versions
    I was told by local service NOT to run the DMG from lexmark for the Lion driver. The Apple update is sufficient.
    Took six days of frustrating work, but finally have new computer running normally!!!! 

  • Unable to Uninstall Lexmark X75 Printer

    Hello All,
    Hoping I can receive some help. I have a MacBook Pro with Leopard/MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8).
    I am trying uninstall the Lexmark X75 and it is not going away. The printer is still listed under 'Printer.'
    I have tried contacting Lexmark and their directions were useless. Per their directions, I clicked on the Uninstall in the Lexmark All in One folder, but after the unintallation was 'complete,' a window popped up stating that not all files were removed and they had to be removed manually.
    Any suggestions on how to get rid of Lexmark X75 completely?
    Thank you in advance. Please let me know if you need further information.

    Go to "Print and Scan" in System Preferences. Press, "Control", and click on the printer on the left side. A dialog box will open. Click on "Reset Printing System".
    This will delete that printer from your system completely.

  • Ipod Nano and Lexmark printer issue

    Hiya,
    I have a customer who has one of our computer systems with a strange problem with an iPod and Lexmark printer.
    We have inspected the computer hardware itself and find that not to be an issue but when discussing the customers problem over the phone and trying various things, it appears when they have a Lexmark printer installed - IIRC it was a Z517, Windows XP is unable to find the drivers for the iPod nano - even with the driver disc inserted into the drive.
    If he disconnects the Lexmark printer from the computer, and then plugs his iPod back in, Windows is then able to find the drivers fine.
    If he removes the iPod and reconnects the printer, and then reconnects the iPod the problem comes back until the printer is removed.
    I was just wondering if anybody had come across this before and if there was a solution for this? I have been unable to find any previous documentation on this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Thanks for your reply.
    A bit of an update after speaking to the customer yesterday...
    He had his iPod nano replaced under g'tee as he thought there might have been an issue with the iPod itself (this was yesterday). So he got a whole new product package (unit, cables, software...) but he still gets the problem.
    Now when we had the computer back for testing, we also had his printer here. I had plugged in my Nokia N80 mobile, my iPod mini (without iTunes, just as disc drive mode), a USB memory stick, the Lexmark printer (Z517) and a SD memory card in the memory card reader - the problem did not arise what so ever - all functions were working correctly... transferring data between memory devices, printing on the printer - these were plugged in different ways around so that all devices were eventually plugged into the same USB controller at least once together. No whether there is a different power requirement for the iPod mini compared to the iPod nano I am not sure – although I would have thought the Nano would require less?!
    When he plugs in the iPod, it comes up with the usual “found new hardware” message and asks him to install the drivers – in which Windows quickly replies it is unable to find any – this is with the Lexmark printer connected. Now if he disconnects the printer and reconnects the iPod by itself, again, windows has found new hardware and finds the right drivers for it almost straight away so I don’t think there is a power issue as this happens no matter what port its plugged into
    I don’t think it has anything to do with faulty hardware as the printer has been replaced by Lexmark, the iPod has been replaced by the store where he bought it and we have tested his computer tower (at the place of manufacturer) with loads of other devices together and in different port combinations and we have been unable to replicate the fault…
    Only other thing I can think of is there is just a general incompatibility between these 2 products and they just do not like each other, but on searching there does not seem enough “help my iPod does not work due to such and such a device” messages to support this theory.
    Another theory is that it could be the USB chipset on the motherboard of the computer and when these 2 devices are connected at the same time, they go completely mental and start throwing a tantrum – although the motherboard is using the good old Via USB Rev 5+ chips (as reported by Windows)…
    I am at a complete loss!

  • How do I Help Apple Care Stop Warring with Each Other and Fix the Problem with My iPhone that They Acknowledge Creating?

    How Do I Help Apple US & Apple Europe Stop Warring With Each Other And Fix The Problem They Created?
    PROBLEM
    Apple will not replace, as promised, the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) that they gave me in London, UK, with an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model).
    BACKGROUND
    My iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) was purchased this year in September on an existing Verizon Wireless (VZW) line using an upgrade. The purchase took place in California and the product was picked up using Apple Personal Pickup through the Cerritos Apple Retail Store. I will refer to this phone at my "original" phone.
    The original phone was taken into the Apple Store Regent Street in London, England, UK on November 15, 2012. The reason for this visit was that my original phone's camera would not focus.
    The Apple Store Regent Street verified there was a hardware problem but was unable to replace the part.
    The Apple Store Regent Street had me call the US AppleCare. At first they denied support, but then a supervisor, name can be provided upon request, approved the replacement of my original phone with an iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) as a temporary solution until I got back in the US. And approved that the GSM model would be replaced with a CDMA model when I came back to the US. I will refer to the GSM model as the "replacement". They gave me the case number --------.
    The Apple Store Regent Street gave me the replacement and took the original. The first replacement did not work for reasons I do not understand. They switched out the replacement several times until they got one that worked on the T-Mobile nano SIM card that I had purchased in England, UK. Please refer to the repair IDs below to track the progression of phones given to me at the Apple Store Regent Street:
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 15)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    The following case number was either created in the UK or France between November 15 to November 24. Case number -----------
    On November 19, 2012, I went to France and purchased an Orange nano SIM card. The phone would not activate like the first two repair IDs above.
    On November 24, 2012, I went to the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps. The Genius told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. They had me call the AppleCare UK.
    My issue was escalated to a tier 2 UK AppleCare agent. His contact information can be provided upon request. He gave me the case number -----------.
    The UK tier 2 agent became upset when he heard that I was calling from France and that the France Apple Store or France AppleCare were not helping me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault.
    The UK tier 2 agent said he was working with engineers to resolve my problem and would call me back the next day on November 25, 2012.
    While at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, a Genius switched the phone given to from repair ID ----------- with a new one that worked with the French nano SIM card.
    Also, while at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, I initiated a call with AppleCare US to get assistance because it seems that AppleCare UK was more upset that France was not addressing the issue rather than helping me. I have email correspondance with the AppleCare US representative.
    A Genius at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps switched the replacement with a new GSM model that worked on the French SIM card but would not work if restored, received a software update, or had the SIM card changed. This is the same temporary solution I received from the Apple Store Regent Street in the UK.
    By this point, I had spent between 12-14 hours in Apple Store or on the phone with an AppleCare representative.
    Upon arriving in the US, I went to my local Apple Store Brea Mall to have the replacement switched with a CDMA model. They could not support me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. My instructions were to call AppleCare US again.
    My call with AppleCare US was escalated to a Senior Advisor, name can be provided upon request, and they gave me the case number -----------. After being on the phone with him for over an hour, his instructions were to call the Apple Store Regent Street and tell them to review my latest notes. They were to process a refund for a full retail priced iPhone 5 64BG black onto my credit card so that I could use that money to buy a new iPhone 5 64GB black at the Apple Store Brea Mall to reoslve the problem.
    The Apple Store Regent Street did not process my refund. He, name can be provided upon request, told me that the AppleCare US did not do a good job reviewing my case, that they were incapable of getting to the bottom of it like they were, and instructed me to call AppleCare US and tell them to review this case number and this repair id. I asked if he read the notes from the AppleCare US Senior Advisor and he would not confirm nor deny. When I offered to give him the case number he accepted but it seemed like would do no good. Our call was disconnected. When I tried calling back the stores automated system was turned on and I could not get back through.
    Now I have the full retail price of an iPhone 5 64GB black CDMA on my credit card and Apple will not process the refund as they said they would.
    I've, at this point, spent between 14-16 hours at Apple Stores or on the phone with AppleCare representatives, and still do not have the problem resolved.
    SOLUTION
    AppleCare US and AppleCare Europe need to resolve their internal family issues without further impacting their customers.
    Apple is to process a refund to my credit card for the cost of a full retail priced iPhone 5 64GB black.
    DESIRED OUTCOMES
    I have an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) that works in the US on VZW as it did before I received the replacement phone in the UK.
    Apple covers the cost of the solution because I did not create the problem.
    Apple resolves their internal issue without costing me more time, energy, or money.
    This becomes a case study for AppleCare so that future customers are not impacted like I have been by their support system.
    Does anyone have recommendations for me?
    Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • Remote Control and Remote View Problem

    Hi,
    I work at a High School running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zen works 4.01 ir7.
    Remote Control and Remote View works great but I noticed one problem.
    We have a logo of the school that is forced down on to the desktop when a
    user logs in through group policies. This logo works perfect for the
    desktop wall paper and loads every time a user logs in.
    When I Remote Control or Remote View a computer the users desktop wall
    paper turns from the logo being forced down through group policies to the
    desktop to a blue desktop wall paper.
    I would prefer the desktop wall paper staying the schools logo when I
    Remote Control or Remote View because if the desktop wall paper changes to
    the blue color I mentioned above when I Remote Control or Remote View the
    users computer, they will know that someone is taking over their computer
    which sometimes we dont want them knowing.
    We have Windows 98SE computer running Novell Client 3.4 and we have some
    computers running Windows XP Professional SP1 and Windows XP Professional
    SP2 both running Novell Client 4.91 SP2.
    The Remote Control and Remote View problem of the desktop wall paper
    changing on the users computer occurs on all operating systems mentioned
    above.
    Is there a solution to my above problem? When Remote Controlling and

    Ok, the problem is generated by NVIDIA VIDEO DRIVER!
    Honesty I cant understand why LENOVO not choose for this machines a ivibridge CPU with HD4000 VIDEO, performance is similar, and Intel VIDEOS GPU, have 0 troubles, ATI AND NVIDIA always are very problematic.
    Anyway the solution is simple:
    1 Turn OFF windows update, or change to selective install.
    This prevent win update install NVIDIA driver in automatic way.
    2 Uninstall NVIDIA driver sand NVIDIA related stuff.
    3 Restart the machine, NOT POWER OFF, just restart.
    4 Now go to SYSTEM PROPERTIES > HARDWARE > DEVICE MANAGER
    INSIDE DISPLAY ADPATER NOW SELECT DISABLE THE DEFAULT VGA DRIVER, NOR UNINSTALL CHOOSE DISABLE!
    NOW RESTART.
    After restart now touchscreen work correctly, and next time you power off the machine, not have that ugly error all time.
    This not is a final solution is just a workaround until LENOVO/NVIDIA provide a final fix for this.
