TS3147 Is there a recommended Printer to use with a Powerbook G4 Laptop?  It has OS 10.5

I have a Powerbook G4 Laptop and recently bought a new printer that works with my MacBook which has an Intel processor.  However, due to the operation system on my Powerbook, which is OS X 10.5, the new printer is incompatible with the Powerbook.  My husband uses the Powerbook and I use the Macbook. With this new HP printer, the Powerbook no longer is able to print documents.  Wondering if there are any printers out there that connect to a USB port 2.0 on my Powerbook G4..
Thank you,
Debbie

Locate a suitable printer for which there are available printer drivers that will work with 10.5.8. You will need to check mfgr. websites to see what drivers are available. Ask the vendor if they know if the printer works with your model and OS X version.

    How to print from iPad to a portable printer wherever you are:
    Issue: bluetooth portable printers cannot communicate or work with iPad.
    Solution: only work-around but works for me...
    1) app- PrintnShare Pro for iPad
    2) mobile hotspot, e.g., Verizon MiFi or other
    3) netbook e.g., Acer or other running windows and must use both Google Chrome browser & Google Cloud Print beta ---> assign your "classic printer" (no portable printers are "Air Print" or "e-print") in Google Chrome go to the wrench icon (top right), options, under-the-hood, and manage printers. You must let Google Cloud Print connector find your printer either hard wired to your pc on your network or via bluetooth.
    your netbook is online via wifi; when you use Print n Share Pro, it will see the portable printer as available on the google cloud. Whatever you want to print, with this app running, you will be prompted to select "open in PrintnShare Pro". When you hit print, it goes to Google Cloud, then through your wifi on netbook (or laptop), then bluetooth from your netbook/laptop to your bluetooth portable printer. Voila. Netbook/laptop can be in your briefcase, unseen. Works seamlessly. Hit print on iPad, & goes right to your HP 100 mobile printer, HP 470 mobile printer, Canon iP100, etc. Good luck.

  • I have a new Mac computer that has imovie.  I recently made a movie that i would like to burn to a DVD.  I hear that idvd is no longer being sold.  Is there software on the computer that i can use to burn a dvd or is there a recommended software to use?

    I have a new Mac computer that has imovie.  I recently made a movie that i would like to burn to a DVD.  I hear that idvd is no longer being sold.  Is there software on the computer that i can use to burn a dvd or is there a recommended software to use?

    There is no really satisfactory substitute for iDVD to burn video files from iMovie.
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.

  • Can an Envy 7640 printer be used with a Google Chrome Operating system?

    Can an Envy 7640 printer be used with a Google Chrome Operating system?

    You are not going to find Chrome on the drop down list, there is no driver to install on chrome, as it doesn't support the concept of a device driver. The only way to print is using cloudprint.
    Cloudprint on a hp printer, means you get an email address for that printer by signing up for hp eprint.
    To sign up for hp eprint, simply touch the eprint icon on the printer's screen (that looks like a mobile device signaling a printer). This HP page has detailed steps: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c04327805#N57

  • What is the best multifunction printer to use with mountain lion

    Trying to find the best multifunction printer for use with 10.8.4.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

    What are you looking for in a printer? Laser or inkjet? Fax as well? If inkjet & fax, I can recommend the Canon PIXMA MG922.

  • What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

    What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos?  Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

    Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
    as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.

  • Is there a special inverter to use with my MacBook Pro when traveling in Europe?

    Is there a special inverter to use with my MacBook Pro when traveling in Europe?

    No, it will handle the voltages there:
    From http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html
    Electrical and operating requirements:
    Line voltage: 100V to 240V AC
    Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz
    You might need a plug adapter to change the pin shape in some countries.

  • I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall   What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)

    I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall   What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)

    Very few 3rd party wireless extenders will work with an Apple router, so your best bet is always to use an extender that is the same brand as the main router. An AirPort Express is a popular choice for this type of application with another Apple router.
    If you had a Cisco router, then a Cisco extender would be your best bet.  Same for Netgear, etc.
    But......a wireless extender can only "extend" the quality of wireless signal that it receives, and not much of a wireless signal is going to make it through a brick wall, so whether any extender might do what you want is open to question.
    You won't know whether an extender using wireless to connect will work to your satisfaction in your home until you actually try it out in your home.
    The performance will always be much better if you can connect the extending device back to the main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If it is not possible to run the Ethernet cable, a pair of Ethernet power line adapters might be able to send the signal over the existing AC power lines in your home. The theory with these devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you just need the adapters.
    In practice though, things do not always work as well as the theory might suggest, so if you decide to try a pair of adapters, it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policies before you buy.

  • ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

    iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
    I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

    I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.
