What do I do with my printer??

I have a five-year-old OKI color printer (C3400n) which I just found out from OKI tech support is incompatible with Lion.  Apparently, Lion only uses a program language which my older printer cannot read, so a driver cannot be developed.  Snow Leopard did not exclude this language.  How can I complain to Apple to get my printer working again.

They're using a Power PC Application - which is extremly old and support was droped for that YEARS (5+ years) ago.
Complaining to Apple won't help, as the vendor is using something that is too old to run on Lion.
Although you can try contacting Apple asking them for support on how to get it working, try phone support.
Good luck.

  • What is the problem with the printer dialogue?

    I am running OS X 10.4.11 on a G5 Powermac w 1.5 GB RAM, and Photoshop CS3. For as long as I can remember, printing anything from Photoshop has produced the dialogue box: "The image is larger than the paper's printable area and some clipping could occur.", and I have to click out of it to proceed with the printing. It doesn't matter whether what I'm printing is, in fact, brushing the edge of the paper, or is, rather, a picture of an airmail stamp dead center, reduced to half-size. I get that dialogue every time. Is there any way to get rid of it? I can tell you that it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the actual size of the image I am printing; it just adds one more step to the process.

    The message is indeed generated by the printer driver.
    Printers have default margins they have to observe. If the image exceeds their boundaries, you WILL get that message. Period. End of story.

  • Printing from MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2010 running 10.8.2 ... persistent inability for Apple MacBook Pro to print to a variety of HP printers (have run Windows and Ubuntu on Parallels and same printers work) ... what is going on with Apple printer support?

    What is wrong with Apple's support of printers ... inability for MacBook Pros to connect with HP and other printers. Yet the same printers
    work under Mac OS based Parallels (running Windows or Ubuntu) - WHY?  Finger pointing (HP . Apple ... Apple > HP) ... who cares ... FIX IT ... this has gone on for months now. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

    HP discontinued support (read: stopped updating their OS X printer drivers) for a lot of their printers back when Apple released Snow Leopard and dropped even more when Lion was released.  This is an HP problem, not an Apple problem.
    Exacty what  printers are you having problems with?
    If any of your printers are on the HPIJS list, try installing the HPIJS drivers (there are 3 files to install, and it won't hurt anything).   This solved the issue for me on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt. Lion with my older HP printers.

  • What do I do with these printer files?

    I've just successfully got a secondhand laser printer to work using the manufacturers driver (manually copied files into place), but it came with some extra files, "Halftones", which are some .bmp's of dot patterns, and "Profiles" which are icc profiles. I know they are something to do with the printers colour settings, but I don't know how to use them. Can someone help?

    Oops, sorry!
    Ok, printer is Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530dl. After struggling with the driver from the supplied disk I downloaded the foo2zjs driver from the AUR, which works reasonably well, but then downloaded the 64bit driver from the manufacturers website, which gives much better results, so there is no problem with the driver which is why I didn't mention it. The driver is supplied in rpm format and very old, so I thought file locations might be different (they aren't as it happens) so extracted and copied the files, I just didn't see the point in making a package (which for me means learning how to make a package, and I haven't got time) for 2 files, namely a .ppd and filter. But for these halftone and profile files I don't have anything to compare to and I don't know if they are being used correctly or if some other part of the system is supposed to be able to find them or what. I know that icc profiles are widely used, I just don't know how. and seeing as the halftone files are in an adjacent directory I'm assuming they are used together, again don't know how.
    Okay that looked like quite a rant, apologies.
    Oh and since the hardware works fine I didn't want to post in "Kernel & Hardware" - this looks like part of some kind of mystery application to me.

  • What can be done with limited print settings?

    Hi,
    This past week I had occasion to fill out a passport application on the Canadian govt. website. As there is a lot of information, and a barcode on each page, the govt. requires pretty exact print margin settings, and no header nor footer to be printed.
    Safari will let me set the margins in the Page Setup menu, but doesn’t allow me to cancel the header & footer.
    The whole print set-up in Safari is not very intuitive. Finding the margin settings takes a bit of digging.
    I ended up firing up Windows 2000 on my Mac, and both Internet Explorer and Firefox have proper page set-up dialog boxes.
    Unfortunately, the government site does not support Firefox for the Mac...
    Cheers,
    Klaus

    Hi,
    Does this option not appear/work for you:
    Safari -> Print... -> (Change 'Copies & Pages' to 'Safari') -> Deselect 'Print webpage information in headers and footers'

    In Acrobat pro 9, I can't find staple and fold options for booklets and no matter what options I choose in the print dialogue my booklet ends up with pages upside down and out of order? I am working on a Macbook pro running OS X 10.9.4.  Our printers are fully capable for booklets with staples and folds. Would love some help. Thank you!

    Thanks for your reply....FYI...I was trying to download from www.adobe.com on
    the specific page that has downloads of your products.    As far as the
    alternate source is concerned I am not totally sure what the capabilities it has as
    I am recovering from a hospital stay and had to send my wife to retailer to
    pick this up because I am accessing email from home until I return to work and
    need something to work now.  I don't yet have the SW.  (I would have had her
    buy the actual Adobe Pro 9.0 -- but it is a wapping $499 and change).

    If you tried every possible solution in the all those links baltwo provided, there is nothing more anyone here can suggest other than waving a wand over the computer or you throwing salt over both shoulders. 
    Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Let the geniuses there figure it out.  Diagnostic testing is free. 

  • What version of Elements will work with Canon Print Studio Pro

    What version of Elements will work with Canon Print Studio Pro?

    I tried this step but it did not work. I have a Mac YosemiteOS 10.10.1. I copied to plug in files from Canon Print Studio Pro. Open canon utilities, open print studio pro, open CS4 folder and copied files CNPSPP101.plugin and CNPSPP102.plugin (not there is also a folder called CS5 but it has the fame plugin files)
    I copy these files and then go to Photoshop Elements 13 and paste these files in Support File folder in Plug - ins and also did in folder Optional Plug-ins.
    I then open Photoshop Elements 13 and hit Automation tools but Canon Pro Studio option is not there.
    Can you provide more details on where I might be going wrong.
    I put in a trial version of Elements 12 and have no problem. I just can't find where to purchase Elements 12 so I do not lose it in 30 days. Know where I can  purchase?

  • What is the best 3rd party print API available with rich print capabilities

    Hi
    Our SWING based application is 6 years old and we have been using a third party print API that was available at that time.
    As it is a very old API, all the print features are not available and it provides just a minimal print features. Now we are thinking of migrating to a best available print API.
    What is the best third party print API available with robust print capabilities? OUR COMPANY IS READY TO SPEND SOME BUCKS TO BUY ANY ROBUST THIRD PARTY PRINT API.
    Thanks
    Reddy

    I just put this into my client class (removed the stuff i had that weren't needed):
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class ListClient
         public static void main (String [] args) throws IOException
             Friend[] friend = new Friend [20];
             List myPals = new List();
             Scanner s = null;
            try {
                s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myFriends.dat")));
                while (s.hasNext()) {
                    System.out.println(s.next());
            } finally {
                if (s != null) {
                    s.close();
    }my file (called myFriends.dat, in the same file this program is in) has 3 names listed in a column with their birthdays right next to each and phone numbers right next to the bdays.
    when i right click on the listClient class and "tell it to work", it does nothing... did i do it completely wrong? lol

  • What can be done with the excessive ink usage on the HP6700 printer?

    I just replaced all the cartridges in a HP6700 printer so I could print a black only page (that issue has it's own thread of disappointed customers). Now after very little use, perhaps 20-30 pages at most and again mostly just black type, the message that cyan ink is low comes up. Yes, I set it to print black only and grayscale most every page but I think that is false. I use the Draft setting on most things in another hopless effort to save ink. I think I did better from the starter pack that came with the printer which also ran out about the same time but I did at least print have the pages with color then. Does anyone know of a way to get this thing to stop using up ink so fast other than leaving in unplugged in the corner or placing it in the garbage can.??

    Hi oceanbob,
    I appreciate your frustration, I really do. However, this particular printer uses some color inks even when printing in black only. The reason for this is for servicing tasks and to make sure your printhead does not dry out and cause problems in the future. If you did run out of color and kept printing black only, you will cause problems with the printhead. 
    For more information here is your User Guide to your printer, see page 74.
    To get a better understand of the ink usage, take a look here: Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers
