What to do if your printer manufacturer does not have SL drivers.

If your printer manufacturer does not have drivers for your printer under SL, there are several possible solutions, only the first of which is well-known.
1. Apple has probably included a Gutenprint driver for your printer, which will install without any problems.
2. hpijs is a collection of open-source drivers made by HP but applicable to many other makes of printer. Google for it and follow the instructions.
The problem with these two solutions is that the drivers may not give full access to your printer. For instance, the Gutenprint driver does not allow duplex printing on my machine.
3. An unofficial unsupported solution has been given in the HP FAQ thread and will probably work for other makes to restore full functionality.
Roughly speaking, download and use the drivers from your Leopard install disk and run the program you want to print from in 32-bit mode. For full details of how to install the drivers look at the post in the HP FAQ thread

As I said, the HP FAQ thread. A long one, five pages or so, with a suggestion made around page 3. I didn't give full details myself because that felt like stealing from the guy who gave it.
It's the program you want to print from that needs to be in 32-bit mode, which is done from the Get Info window.
The problem with drivers that used to work is that they are 32-bit and won't work directly on a 64-bit program.
If you have the old drivers installed (they may need reinstallation and re-recognition of the printer) I think the solution is to open a printer dialog from the program you are using and do not print but save as PDF. Set Preview or Acrobat Reader to run in 32-bit mode permanently and print the PDF from there.
I haven't had time to try this fully, but it does give the full printer dialog box rather than the restricted Gutenprint one.

  • How do I create an executable for a computer that does not have IVI drivers

    I'm creating an executable driver (based on the NI drivers) for a TDS 3054 intended for a computer that does not have the IVI engine. I would prefer to install as little software on this computer as possible. Is it possible for me to build the driver with the appropriate support DLL's without installing IVI on the user's computer? How do I do this?
    Thank you,
    Zach Oberman

    Zach,
    Since the tkds30xx driver you are using is IVI based, you will not be able to use it without the IVI Engine.
    If you must build an executable that does not require the IVI Engine, then you will need to use a traditional LabVIEW driver or convert a VXIpnp driver into LabVIEW. Neither of those drivers would require the IVI Engine.
    At this time the only TDS 3054 driver on NI's IDNet website is the IVI-based tkds30xx driver.
    You may be able to obtain a traditional LabVIEW driver from

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One Printing Preference does not have Print Last Page First option

    HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One printer:  Printing Preference missing Print Last Page First option.  Print lots of multipage documents.  Spending enormous amount of time resorting pages. 
    Prior to this printer?  .... grab printed stack -  staple  -  DONE! 
    Now?   Have to resort every document!
    Anyone out there have a solution?

    Reply to mkjohnson42. It doesn't matter what application I'm in. The option is NOT there. Just to confirm, I started from Word 2010, Excel 2010, a web page using Internet Explorer, Foxfire and Chrome. Plus, I did the old stand-by of going to Printers and Devices>Preferences. Under Preferences I have the choice to print on both sides of paper but NO Print Last Page First. I REALLY did check ALL of this before resorting to the Community. So, I really don't understand your question. Sorry.

  • "Your airport device does not have a valid IP address"

    Hello,
    Hoping someone can be kind enough to help here, please let me know if I haven't provided enough details or in the wrong format as I'm not hugely technical.
    I have recently bought an Airport Express to connect to my existing Wi-Fi network. I have a Netgear DG834G v4 router-modem-base-station-thing and there are two computers running Windows 7 that connect to this.
    I set up the connection via the Airport Utility and updated the firmware to 7.5.2 and everything worked beautifully for the first ten days or so. All the Airport Express was doing was linking my stereo to itunes and playing music.
    One morning though the orange light was flashing on the Airport Express and when I opened up the Airport Utility I got the message in the title. I have tried re-setting via the Airport Utility and pressing the button on the unit itself, but all to no avail, the same error comes up when I have re-set the equipment from the default. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get things running smoothly again please?
    Lastly, as far as I am aware I can't use the airport express as a bridge for my Netgear router (as this only works for extending the range of an apple product) but please let me know if I'm wrong!
    Many thanks in advance!

    An update for anyone who may have similar problems as this is now resolved for me. Largely by accident I found out the problem was actually with my main router as opposed to the Airport Express unit.
    Can't explain why but unplugging the Netgear router from the power supply in the wall for five minutes or so (to do the vacuuming in this case!) and then plugging it back in and powering back up (this took some time (15 minutes or so) appeared to allow the router to sort what needed which IP address.
    This happened about 2-3 weeks ago and everything has been running fine since. Please note that I did try and "soft" re-set the router by telling it to re-set via the settings you can alter using a web browser but this had no effect at the time.

  • Mini mac does not have room to run all app or upgrade

    Help please. My mini mac is telling me that I do not have enough room to upgrade or run all my apps. Can I upgrade something inside the drive and if I can, can I just go to the Apple store and have that done?
    We purchased the mini mac Christmas 2008 and I have added final cut but nothing else. I do have an awful lot of photos in iphoto, would it help me to backup those onto a external drive then delete those items for more space? I'm taking about 4,000+/- photos and 253 events.

  • Hard Drive does not have enough space/error message

    Hello: I am new to Mac but have been having trouble with my iMac for a while. I can no longer download my software updates. I have an error message that states "Your hard drive does not have enough space" - 5.7 GB is required.
    I only have a 1 GB machine. What am I doing wrong?
    When I go to my Macintosh HD icon on the desktop, it says at the bottom of that window that I have 495.9 MB available.
    The error message tells me to go to the Startup file to delete items. I go there, but there's only two files. I do have music/photos/but I do not understand what's going on with my computer.
    In addition, it turns itself off often, for no apparent reason. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    J.Renee

    The error refers to space on your hard drive, not memory. Unless you've mis-typed, if you have only 495.9 MBs free on your hard drive then you are definitely out of space. If you continue operating with so little free space you are risking a catastrophic loss of data.
    To free up space you will either need to delete unneeded personal files or copy some of your bigger files off to an external hard drive then delete them from your internal drive. Alternatively you can replace the internal drive with a larger drive.
    You should maintain no less than 15 GBs or 15% of the hard drive's capacity as free space whichever is greater.
    If you meant to type 495.9 GBs then you may have a corrupted disk directory. Try the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
