What printer and fax modem for leopard

Since updating to leopard I`m having a lot of trouble with my Canon MP 780. I have tried new drivers and everything else I can think of including reading these forms for a solution ever since leopard was released.It seems to me that apple forgot all about faxing and printing when they developed leopard. So my question is, is there a multifunction printer that works well with leopard. Seems nothing can save my MP 780. Also I need a fax modem but it seems they are far and few between that play nice with leopard. A few suggestions would be greatly appreciated.It seems as though leopard is apple`s Vista when it comes to printing and faxing. Sorry I`m just really tired of this.

I'm using a HP Officejet 7780 which works great, the bad news is it was recently replaced by the OfficeJet 8500 series AIO. HP make 3 versions:
1. Base model with ethernet & USB connections
2. OJPro 8500 Wi-Fi with touch screen, wi-fi (in additition to ethernet and USB connections) & duplexing
3. OJPro 8500 Premier with touch screen, wi-fi, duplexing, touch screen, dual paper trays and 2 complete sets of ink, legal size scanning etc.
The new OJ 8500 series also uses ink that is designed to be water resistant and offer a lower cost of printing than a similarly priced laser printers.

Missing Print and Fax Preferences - no joke

I am logging onto my grandmother's brand new MacBook & trying to setup a printer for her. It has been a fiasco, which as a major Mac head is not a familiar feeling. I comfortably identify myself as expert on the user & support side.
After a few hours of fighting with her existing printer when I was there at the holidays, I ascertained that it had lost its little USB brain. HP sent out a new printer & I got her to plug it in and ran the setup assistant for her. All is well. I went to print and it stalled. Kept trying to connect, no dice. I hit the pulldown. 2 copies of the printer. Printed to the 2nd copy...all good. Great. Now I'll just delete the 1st one so she's not confused.
I go to System Preferences. No icon for Print and Fax Preferences. I hit the 'show all' button. Nothing additional. I search for print in the search window on the preferences app. Nothing. Did they move it in 10.5? I check the help file...no it says go to system preferences>print and fax.
So what gives? How do I resolve this and retrieve the print and fax preferences? Wanna see the window for yourself? http://www.killerbanshee.com/noprintfaxpreferences.png
(It is black & white cuz I was running it black and white to have faster screen response over a remote connection.)
Thanks,

Does /System/Library/PreferencePanes/PrintAndFax.prefPane exists ?
Also, please provide any information available in Console (/Applications/Utilities/Console) when you launch System Preferences.

Fax Modem for Mavericks

Are there any fax modems that will work on my new iMac running Mavericks 10.9

I finally got the message below from USR. I followed their instructions & it worked!!
Thank you for choosing USRobotics.
Your case number for this issue is: 301667052
Your initial email was replied to on November 13, 2013. Below the reply we provided you to configure the modem:
After reading your e-mail I understand that you would like to know if the modem is in fact compatible to Mac OSX 10.9 Maverick. Yes the USR5637 is compatible with Mac OSX 10.9.
If you will use the modem for a dial up connection to the Internet follow these steps:
1- In the System Preferences, open the Network.
2- Once in the Network section, click on the USB Modem and click on Advanced.
3- Make sure that under Vendor and Model the USR5637 is correctly selected.
4- In the PPP tab make sure the Use Verbose login check box is checked.
5- Fill the Username, Password and Phone number with your ISP information and click on Connect.
If you will use the modem for faxing follow the steps below:
1- In the System Preferences, open the Printer & Scanner or Printer & Faxes depending of your Mas OSX version.
2- Once in the Printer & Scanner or Printer & Faxes, if the devices shows up as an external modem you need to remove it. If the device is not listed skip to step 3.
3- Click on the add button and on the window that comes up, click on the fax tab at the top of the window, you should see a USB modem listed.
3- Complete the on screen steps to Add a USB modem.
I hope this helps.
Again, thank you for choosing USRobotics.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!

Need to add print and download options for report in new window

Hi,
On one of the columns empid of the report1 (which is on the dashboard) , I am using navigation and pointing it to report2.
Report1 has all the links, print, download and refresh (I enabled them using the section properties) but when I click on empid and it takes me to report2, then I don't see any links under that report. I want to include print and download links for report2 when it opens in the new window.
I know, one way is to embedd that report in the dashboard page and hide it, but is there any other way of doing it?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Just to clarify again, I am using a navigation from report1 (which is on the dashboard) to report2 (which is not on the dashboard).
As per the requirements, I can't put my report2 on any dashboard page and hide it and then use navigation. Also, I can't enable the print and download options for report1 which is already on the dashboard. Doing this gives me print and download options for report2 but that is not the requirement.
Is there any way to have print and download options for report2 when I am directly navigating to the report2 from report1 and not the report2 on any dashboard page which is hidden.
I will really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
RonnyPlease explain why you can't do what I said. What is the "requirements" that prevent this? It would be transparent to the user, really. They just click and get their report.

How create Default Paper Size of 6" X 9" in Print and Fax System Prefs

I would appreciate help in creating a Default Paper Size of 6" X 9" because this size is not listed among the options for Tiger's Print and Fax in System Preferences. I mainly use my imac and Epson Photo R200 printer to print 6" X 9" formatted pages on 8 1/2" by 11" sheets created in MS Word. But without an Apple default for a 6" X 9" custom size, I run into all kinds of formatting problems, including the making of PDFs. My friend has a Windows machine that does have the 6" X 9" among its options, and she has no problem producing the results I am after. Thanks for helping!
imac G-4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You should be able to create a custom page size with these dimensions in the Page Setup Dialog (under Paper Size). After creating it, use the "Save As Default" under the Settings menu.
Hope that helps.

It looks like the Brother MFC-3360 can only print/fax with a MacBook Pro which stinks that it cannot scan ( a function on the MFC that worked on my Dell laptop). Do i need to get another MFC that works with apple?! who faxes anymore? i need to scan and email the documents, not print and fax. this is a very unpleasant surprise.

Brother have released compatible Lion drivers and utilities for your MFC-3360.
They are here, download and install them,

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

Printing from Lion to internal fax modem at Leopard (PPC)

Hello ,
I'am trying to print with a MacBook Air (MacBookAir3,2; Mac OS X 10.7.1) to an internal modem at a Mac Mini (PowerMac10,1; MacOS X 10.5.8) and it failed with following error message at the Mac Mini (PrinterProxy->Printer->Log & History ):
          A fax number was not provided.
A fax number at Fax Information at priniting dialog at the MacBookAir was given. From the Mac Mini it is possible to send a fax. I tried it with different applications at the MBA.
Any ideas what is going wrong here?
Peter

Yes, I heard about the dropped support for the Apple Fax Modem adapter at Lion, but I send a print job from Lion to a shared internal fax modem at a Mac Mini. I think it is a normal print job with fax supplements at Lion and the remote Leopard has to convert the print job into fax format and calling the efax program with neccessary arguments. At the log at Leopard it looks for me that the Lion printinting dialog indeed ask for fax number, prefix and start banner but never send it to the remote leopard system.
Any ideas how to check this from the shell with more detailed debugging capabilities at Lion?

HP Instructions for Printing and Scanning Under Snow Leopard

HP has posted instructions for Snow Leopard users for printing, faxing, and scanning on HP printers.
While the scan button (and installed HP printer management software) may no longer work on the printer, you can still scan if you go through the Preview or Image Capture programs on your Mac to access the scanner.
I tried it on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer that was unable to scan after upgrading to Snow Leopard, and it worked.
HP has posted the printer instructions for Snow Leopard at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en &product=1153481
Hope this helps some of you. It worked for me.

You can download VueScan as a trial without paying for it unless you want to.
As for enabling scanning with Image Capture you need the proper driver. As a start I would ask HP's tech support if they can help you get it working. Apple does not write any printer or scanner drivers. They are provided by HP or other printer manufacturers. Apple packages them for distribution with OS X. It's quite possible that the current scanner driver for your model isn't compatible with SL.
If you understand modern technology then you have to appreciate the fact that most things become obsolete within months. This is certainly true of computers and their peripherals. Software developers cannot keep up the pace with the hardware. A two year old printer has been obsolete for more than a year already. Unless HP still sells and manufactures that model, they tend to lose interest with them. SL only arrived in October 2009 which is after your model was released. So HP needed to provide compatible drivers. If they have then perhaps the problem with yours is related to something else, but I don't know what that would be beyond completely uninstalling all the HP software then letting the OS figure out what to install. SL automatically discovered both my printer and scanner, then installed the drivers for each.

Hp Laserjet P1102w Doesn't show up in Print and Fax list OS 10.5.8

Got an HP Laserjet 1102w and tried to install under Mac OS 10.5.8. I downloaded and sucessfully ran the HP drivers but when I go to add the printer under system preferences/printers and fax the list of available printers is blank. I've tried several routines suggested by a web search of the problem to no effect.
Anybody out there solved this?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks for your attention. I figured out the solution. See below.
The printer was connected by USB and I was also trying to get the wireless connection set. I had intermittent progress on both fronts but could not get a successful installation either as a USB connection or wireless connection. The printer would "disappear" off the list of available printers (using the "+" to add printer, OS 10.6.8) or not respond to setup commands. And I could not get the printer's wireless connection to my network to "take".
Printing the configuration page was of no use. If the printer is unable to connect to the wireless network it reports the printer IP address as 0.0.0.0.
TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
         (clicking + under "Print & Fax" the printer does not appear or the printer name disappears)
1) replace the USB cable - the original was susceptible to cutting out;
2) give up on wireless - to - wireless set up methods - no amount of factory resetting would clear the mystery connection block;
3) set up the wireless connection by way of a (good) USB cable;
3) switch the browser used to view the printer's setup page from Firefox (34.0.5 for Mac OS 10.6.8) to Safari
4) use WPA security mode (not WEP as suggested by HP's help files).
The primary troublemaker was the bad USB cable. Going thru a wireless set up presumes that the printer can connect to the network. As already noted, the wireless connection was not working. The blue network light would not come up steady. Some transmission option was blocking sucessfull handshaking between the printer and my wireless router. I tried the recommended factory reset methods without success.
I needed a good USB connection to get to the printer's setup options.
Don't know what was up with Firefox - a bad plugin or something? It just would not connect to the printer via IP addressing. Safari worked fine. (Now the printer is successfully setup Firefox has decided to work too.)
SO THE SOLUTION IS:
      1) connect the printer and Mac via a (good) USB cable;
      1) use Safari to get in to the printer's setup functions (via system preferences/print & fax/options & supplies/show printer web page);
      2) follow the recommended setup options (HP support for Laserjet P1102w, OS 10.6, using a USB cable to set up a wireless connection);
      3) select the proper wireless network from the list;
      4) reset the security mode to WPA; and
      5) give the printer the correct wireless network password.
Thank-you, and the forum, for your help.
