Xerox n17: any way to use it under Snow Leopard

Hi all,
After Snow Leopard install my trusty Xerox n17 laser printer is no longer recognized, even after re-installing the "current" driver from the Xerox driver page. The n17 is not listed as a supported printer in Apple's tech note on printers under 10.6.
Does anyone have any idea how to make this great old printer work under Snow Leopard? Is it a doorstop now?
Thanks.
Bill

I did not take a look at the driver Xerox has on its website. My guess is that it should work as the DocuPrint N17 is a PostScript printer. You could also use the driver (PPD) found on the cups.org page http://www.cups.org/ppd.php?L1100I60+T+Qxeroxn17. My guess is that it will be identical to the one Xerox is providing.
The most likely cause of your problems is that OS X 10.6 no longer supports AppleTalk. You will have to set the printer up to use either the LPD or JetDirect protocol. There are numerous posts in this forum dealing with how to do this.

What's the best way to use a cloned Snow Leopard drive with an iBook?

My aging and ailing MacBook Pro is going in for Apple Care.
I've made a clone of its hard drive and would like to keep working this week using an iBook G4. Alas, an external drive with Snow Leopard will not boot from an iBook. I did format the drive as an Apple Partition Map, so I can see it from the iBook and work with its files--but it will not start up from it.
I forsee screw-ups as I work with some programs and files on the iBook and others off the hard drive. Eudora, e.g., requires its In Box and Out Boxes to reside on the boot drive; many of my favorite programs take their settings from the start up computer, not the external drive. That means there will be all sorts of settings-- e.g., Word, Excel's, iKey's --that will need setting on the iBook or copying over to it.
Alternatively, I could downgrade the external drive to Leopard or even Tiger so I can boot from it and work with the files that way. I think that will require having to reformat the external drive--which means no direct cloning of the MBP drive to it! It also would preclude an easy 1-step restore (I'd have to clone it back to the MBP and then upgrade to SL).
Unsure which way makes the most sense-- or if there's another way I haven't thought of. I do have additional hard drives to play with (e.g., I made another SL clone of the entire MBP drive).
Any ideas, suggestions welcome!

If we could distinguish and separate the hardware drivers, download them from Apple etc., then it could be said we can use a clone on another model of Mac provided: A, B and C are met.
But since Apple has changed from OS 9 to OS X, PowerPC 32 bit to 64 bit, PowerPC to to Intel 32 bit, Intel 32 bit to 64 bit, locks the drivers to certain install disk versions and changes hardware around constantly, including changing the OS and making it not run on earlier versions of hardware, sideways stuff like A4/A5 processors, causing such a cluster mess of confusion and obscuration that it's better to say NOT than trying to find the tiny possibilities that it can happen.
If it does happen, lucky you, likely won't happen for any duration worth relying upon.

If you don't have a backup make one now of all your own data, you can just drag your Documents folder to another disk, assuming that is where you keep your own data. Then erase the disk with Disk Utility by booting up holding cmd-r. Choose Disk Utility > Erase tab from the screen that is presented. Then install from your SL disk.

Will Pages under Lion be able to open old AppleWorks documents in the way that it does under Snow Leopard?

I've just read a thread that suggested that Pages will be able to open AppleWorks documents under Lion, is this correct?
I understood from discussions last month that one had to convert all old AppleWorks documents to Pages or Word or some other format BEFORE upgrading to Lion as Pages would not be able to read them afterwards.
I wanted to pass on a tip that if you have used the AppleWorks password protect on your files, you will not be able to open them in Pages, so you need to open them in AppleWorks first, and take the password off, or save them as a file which is not protected, or some similar work around.

The Apple Support Community (us) just calmed me right down! Hi everyone. I just down loaded Lion through the Apple Apps Store and blindly went ahead and installed it, putting my mental well being in Apple's hands, having trusted Apple since my first Apple II (1974?). But ... "What do you mean, Appleworks isn't supported?" In a bit of a panic, wondering what was to happen to my vast (really) stock of AW documents I came to Apple Support for help. Thanks to the input from Sue, Cornelius, Jonanna and others I took the leap and, clicking on the "OpenApple"-I, accessed the "Open With" switching the AW document to open with Pages. In a word, perfect. And, it looks like Lion has already told itself to open all AW (remember Claris?) documents with Pages. CM
( Except I just spotted a thread titled "AppleWorks doc won't open in Pages" ... Going there next. )

Web gallery - any way to use IPTC data by itself beside metaset??

Hi,
I try to customize a template. I know that I can use the metasets to include the requested metadata - BUT is there any way to use other fields?
so far I found
PageTitle
metavalue
But even those spaceholders can't be used as i.e. the alt tag.
Is there any way to get for example the Image Name (or other fields from the database) as a space holder??
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks

Hey, wow that was a quick reply
Well all my photos are in Aperture, so I did think that I could grab the EXIF data from there and then place them in text boxes on my pages. I have hundreds of photos and doing it that way could take a long time! I was curious to see if there was something that would automate this for me within iWeb. For example, RapidWeaver allows you to check a tick box to display EXIF data under each photo. That's what im looking for within iWeb

Any way to use filter to exclude tables in navagation pane?

Is there any way to use filter to exclude a set of tables from the table list in the navagation pane? I have a number of tables (15+) starting with the same prefix eg. AB123 that I would like eliminate from the list. They sort right to the top and I always have to scroll down, and go through the show more dialog to see the entire list.
I am sure I'm missing something, but not sure what. Help Center has nothing to offer.
Thanks
Glenn

This has been mentioned on the forum before - basically the need for more elaborate ways to filter (multiple conditions as well as 'not like'). It is on our list for future consideration, meaning post-production.

Is there any way to use -useLegacyAOT option in FlashBuilder 4.6?

I need to build my ipa with old version of Engine because i have some problems about loading images from outside. Since with Air 15 it is default engine, and i cannot quit Air 15 because of the iTunes specs. I cannot add -useLegacyAOT=yes to compiler options on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 because it seems that it can be added at FB4.7.
So is there any way to add this options when i am using FB4.6
Thanks in advance.

I'm using TestStand/Labview to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a variable in the edit string value test?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.

I'm using TestStand 2.0/Labview 6i to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a string variable in the edit string value test instead of an actual string?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.

Hi ART,
You can also use the LimitLoader step to load your string into to step similar to the Numeric Step type.
There should be an example of this in the Resource Library | TestStand

Time Machine Beautiful Background - any way to use it apart from TM

The picture of moving universe as the background of TM processes is beautiful. Is there any way to use it apart from TM (screen saver, desktop image) ?

Not easily. It's not a single display. The "moving parts" are separate.
The basic background is at:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Backup.framework/Versions/A/Resources/vortex.p ng
You could select and right-click it, and select it as your desktop picture, but it won't move.
Or display it with Preview, save it as a jpg, import it into iPhoto, make an album containing it, then select the album as your screen saver.

Any way to use a quick and dirty icon like cLabel in the quick tools toolbar?

I am a javascript cut-and-paster with ability to cobble things together.
In previous versions of Acrobat, I had tools that were added to the toolbar using the technique shown in this script:
app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
   cLabel: "Flatten",
   cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
   cExec: "flattenPages();"
That would create a toolbar button with the "icon" that read "Flatten" which is all that I needed. I could click on it and it would flatten all pages in the document.
I used this to create several different tools, all with different names and cLabels.
This script still works in Acrobat XI (it adds the tool to the add-on tools list, and then I can add it from there to the quick tools toolbar). The cLabel names show up in the add-on tools list, but not in the quick tools toolbar. In the toolbar they all use the same generic icon (but they all work correctly).
From reading in this forum I see that there is a way to create a custom icon but it does not look easy. Is there any simple way to just have text appear as the icon as I used to do for earlier versions of Acrobat?
Thanks.

One further question...
I found a code snippet somewhere online that attempted to deal with this issue. That led me to this (failed) solution:
this.importIcon("myIconFlat", "/D/J/CAD Standards/Stamps/Acrobat tools/flatten.jpg", 0);
var flatIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(this.getIcon("myIconFlat"));
app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
   cLabel: "Flatten",
   oIcon: flatIcon,
   cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
   cExec: "flattenPages();"
The problem there is that importIcon is not allowed from a folder-level javascript, apparently. Would there be any way to use the importIcon part of this from the console and then cut and paste some output into the rest of the script? Just looking for a way to get the icon into my script.

Is there any way to use a file transfer protocol to upload files to icloud?

Is there any way to use a file transfer protocol to upload files to icloud?

Unfortunately, no.
You will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb ’09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like “www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb ’08 you can publish your website to a local folder
Basically all Web Hosting companies are iWeb-compatible.
If you’re looking for a good hosting I would recommend IX Web Hosting I have been using them to host my own websites for several years now and that their customer support is awesome too.
