Xerox Phaser 3100 and Snow Leopard: work or not?

Hi,
Xerox don't support Phaser 3100 scan functions on Mac OS X 10.6 (the xerox printer driver work perfectly), so I installed SANE driver and scanner work fine on my MacBook AIr with Mac OS X 10.6.2.
Then, I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac 20" 2,0GHz and the same driver didn't work; so, I'll be back to connect Phaser 3100 to my MacBook Air and the scanner didn't work now!!
I'm going crazy, please anyone help me!!

Not here.
I used the phaser 3100 on leopard via its wireless options on my studio's network.
now my mac is running snow leopard and printer driver doesn't work.
there's no updated drivers per se.
i don't know if i should wait for a driver or sell the printer. **** !

  • Xerox phaser 3100 and Snow Leopard

    Good evening!
    Since 2 days I am trying desperately to install the printer of my dad (xerox phaser 3100) on my macbook 10.6. In fact we did the upgrade on snow leopard without knowing that the printer would not work anymore.
    Before writing here I made some research on internet and I found this web site:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/forums/forum/4358/topic/3407337
    The Phaser 3100 is a GDI printer.  The Gutenprint drivers do not support such printers.You should be able to print with the Xerox drivers provided for OS X 10.4.  To make the drivers work in OS X 10.6, install the drivers from Xerox.  Then in a Terminal window (/Applications/Terminal)  run the following commands--sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Xerox/sudo chmod 775 /Library/Printers/Xerox/filter/rastertoprinter You will have to force any 64 bit applications to run in 32 bit mode to get the full functionality for the drivers.
    Of course I went on the website of xerox to download drivers for 10.4... but when I tried to install it I got a error message saying that the package was compiled for 10.4 version...
    If you would have a solution it would be great!
    Thanks in advance and have a great easter!

    Ok,
    I tried to reboot computer, connect the usb cable. Try an other usb cable but it's not working...
    In my system profiler my printer is not appearing. I have this:
    I tried to connect a usb key in my computer and its working... so usb port is ok :-)
    Still not successful :-(... is it a problem if I have other printer install on this computer?
    Thank you!

  • Xerox Phaser 6110 and Snow Leopard

    Hi there,
    Please can somebody help?
    I bought a new imac the other day and connected my three year old Xerox Phaser 6110 printer, and to my shock, it won't print.
    Thanks to this forum, I found out that I'm not the only one with the same problem.
    Now, I've read some of the topics on what to do, and I've tried two of them, but I still can't print. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
    I went onto Xerox's website and followed their instructions - installed Rosetta, and got to a point where I couldn't continue. It said; "right click, and ...". I can't remember what it said I had to do, but, my mouse does not give me the option to 'right click', so I had to abort that method.
    I then tried a method I found on here - inserted the Xerox driver disc again, loaded the driver, clicked on 'System Preferences' and 'Printers', and tried to add the printer again, but it wouldn't let me. Maybe I was doing it wrong?
    HELP!
    I really don't want to go buy a new printer

  • I tried copying a photo and pasting it in another event/group within iPhoto but the paste feature doesn't work.  This wasn't an issue with both Leopard and Snow Leopard.  Do you have any solutions or tips?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with OsX Lion as operating system.  I use iPhoto a lot and when I tried copying a photo then pasting it to another event/group, the 'paste' feature doesn't work.  This wasn't the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard where the 'paste' feature worked.  What I did was to paste the photo first to the desktop before transferring it to the new event/group.  I brought my Mac to the Apple store where I bought it and the technicians were themselves surprised that the 'paste' feature didn't work.  Chalked it up to glitches in the Lion os.  So how do we fix this?  I just find it absurd that a feature that used to work in Snow Leopard has been disabled in Lion, and the user still has to undergo an additional step to make it work, when new technology is supposed to make things easier for users. 
    Also, hasn't anyone noticed that it takes longer for the computer to boot upon opening? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

  • In limbo between Leopard and Snow Leopard - stupidly didn't back up

    I've got an old-school black MacBook, about four years old now. I never cared enough to upgrade it to Snow Leopard, but now I want Lion. So, I borrowed my parents' five-license Snow Leopard install disc and started off on the journey to upgrade to Snow Leopard, download the App Store update, then download and install Lion. I didn't get far.
    First, let me say that I didn't back up my hard drive. Like an idiot. Yes, I know it was stupid, so there's no need to say anything. My previous installs (a few clean re-installs) have gone without a hitch, so I figured I'd trust Apple and just run the installation without backing up. Dumb.
    The Snow Leopard installation started fine, but was interrupted when the installer said the install failed. Restart, try again. Booting from the install DVD, things seemed to be going fine a second time around -- picked my language, got to the install set-up screen, picked Macintosh HD as my installation drive. And then things stopped working. The installer said my HD could not be written to and that it needed repair. So I went to Disk Utility to try that. Repair Disk wasn't available, so I clicked Verify Disk. That got interrupted when it said the disk needed to be repaired, after which the Repair Disk button was clickable. Tried to repair, but apparently my HD is screwed beyond the capabilities of Disk Utility.
    I tried to reboot the MacBook from the HD, which Disk Utility said still had Leopard running on it. The computer wouldn't boot up. Safe Boot didn't work. So, without any other real options, I thought I'd try my luck by just trying the install again. Booted up from the install DVD, and ran into the same issues. Didn't magically fix itself, of course. So my MacBook is stuck in limbo between Leopard and Snow Leopard, won't boot from the HD and won't let me repair the disk when booted from the DVD. What do I do?
    I plan to try a couple third-party disk-utility programs tomorrow (8/25/11) to recover the files on my HD. There's not much I care about on there (just some iPhone photos and my resume, really), so doing a clean wipe of the HD and installing Snow Leopard is an option. But I'd of course rather be able to recover my personal files. Is this possible at this point?
    Another question I have regarding a clean wipe: If I end up having to clean off the HD and lose all my data, I'll lose the iTunes configuration for my iPhone. Will iTunes be able to import my apps and settings from my phone if I plug it in?
    Thank you very much.

  • Using USB drive between Leopard and Snow Leopard

    I have 2 USB drives that were formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) on a Leopard Macbook Pro. I have had no troubles when using these drives between Leopard OS machines however when i try to copy files to them from a Snow Leopard machine an error message appears.
    Secondly when i tried to copy files from the USB onto the Snow Leopard (Macbook Pro) only the folders were visible and not their content. When I "Got Info" on the USB via Snow Leopard it showed that data space was being used.
    Can anyone tell me if Mac OS Extended is the standard Mac format type then why this might occur and hopefully a solution? I would like to upgrade to Snow Leopard but do not want to lose the data on my external drives formatted on Leopard.
    I appreciate the brains trust!!

    Was the computer that didn't work logged on to the "owner' of the images own account, or were you using a 'guest" log-in, kicks?
    If the different computers were set up in a different fashion for such things then it might explain the different behaviour.
    Another thing that could prevent a Mac writing to an external drive would be if the external drive itself is formatted with the NTFS file system (common on many windows drives). Unless the mac concerned has additional software installed then it can't write to an NTFS drive. Perhaps the ones that could write have the necessary patches installed?
    A final issue may be power. Was this a self powered drive or a bus powered drive? Computers that follow very closely the official USB specs often have trouble powering a "bus powered" drive effectively from a single port. In this case trying a "Y" cable, letting you connect to two USB ports on the same computer, will usually get things working. Some Macs seem better than others in this situation, and even the actual USB port used may make some difference.

  • External Hard drives and Snow leopard

    Many of us here have huge files of images - and many of us store them on external hard drives using eSATA drves.
    I have 15 TB of files on external drives, with tens of thousands of clients images.
    And, now, it turns out that Snow Leopard cannot work with the Silicon Image drivers that run my external drives.
    So, if I update to Snow Leopard, I will not be able to read from or write to my 15 external drives.
    That boggles my mind!  How can these companies fail to get their acts together and fail to make their systems work with 10.6?
    I am afraid that Apple is becoming marginalized in the graphic workplace. CS4 runs faster on PCs - and CS5 is only in the future.  And, now, I cannot even see my files if I update to Snow Leopard.
    I need a driver that will support fifteen (15) 1 TB hard drives in 3 DATA Opitic enclosure while using Snow Leopard  ... anyone else facing this problem?
    Dick

    Dick,  Snow Leopard has only been out for 3 days.  It's a little early to decry Silcon Image for not having a driver available.  The sad reality is that eSATA support for both windows and mac has always been poor.  I've tried MANY times with both systems to convert to eSATA and every time have foudn it unreliable.  SI was the best, IMHO, but even that seemed to have problems for me over the long run.  It's no excuse but the blame does not lie with Adobe or Apple.  Further SI doesn't to my knowedge only makes chips and doesn't market directly to end users, so someone else is responsible for your support, who marketed your eSATA card?
    You're posting to an Adobe Photoshop forum about what you know to be an Silcon Image problem....  I know you're looking for other to commiserate with, but  you really need to contact SI or the manufacturer of the card.

  • Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

    Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

    When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from  Camelotand Matt Clifton
    Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
    That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
    Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

  • Aperture 2 and 3 and Snow Leopard

    My system with Aperture 2 was perfect.
    Then I believe that Snow Leopard killed Aperture 2.
    When I first installed Snow Leopard my machine felt like new again but slowly and slowly over the last few months the whole system seems to feel less and less snappy.
    I don't use many video-intensive applications - my main one is Aperture 2, so this is where I find my main cause for concern.
    Painfully slow adjustments with lagging, beach-balling, CPU-hogging, and RAM theft.
    The main culprits seem to be Highlights/Shadows, Straighten, Crop, and Retouching… although my open mind says that could simply be because they form the latter part of my tweaking process.
    There seems to be a thumbnail generation issue. Every adjustment that is made generates a new thumbnail - as you work through your tweaks that process seems to get backed up and slow everything down.
    There seems to also be a video issue. Tweaking horizontal photos in full screen causes twice as much lag as a vertical image. Why? Take a look - it's obvious - in full screen edit a vertical image is about half the size of a horizontal one.
    There seems to be a memory issue. Aperture seems to use a large amount of processor and RAM and sometimes doesn't let go of it or it gets caught in some kind of a loop. I've no idea what I'm talking about here. All I know is when I look at Activity Monitor the numbers are going through the roof and I can barely concentrate on them because of the noise from my fans.
    There have been various and quite diverse suggestions on this and other forums as to what the underlying problem is and I have done my best to look into those and see what can help.
    I have an early-2008 MBP 4,1 - 2.6 Intel Core 2 Duo - 4GB (factory-fitted) RAM - GeForce 8600M (512MB) GT.
    I have done everything possible: all software totally up-to-date, re-installed combo updates, rebuilt Aperture libraries, run consistency checks, fresh Aperture install, fresh Snow Leopard install, repaired permissions, booted in 32bit, booted in 64bit, run hardware tests, deleted plists, cleared caches, downloaded and run applications like Onyx and Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (amongst others) to ensure everything is in ship-shape along with various test applications to gauge if components like my hard drive are dying.
    I keep my system clean and tidy. I have now stripped out bloat. I even took out iPhoto in case its 'iLife' browser link to Aperture was an issue. I have 85GB free on a 200GB. All components are original as factory-fitted by Apple.
    Everything that any seemingly intelligent person on any decent forum has suggested has been done - in particular I thank the many users here on the Apple forum for all their information sharing… I try to read them all.
    From what I see on the forums, I am not alone.
    Nothing has fixed this problem.
    I (and no doubt many others) have fed this information back to Apple.
    Aperture 2 and/or Snow Leopard has a problem that has not been fixed.
    Aperture 3 got released and I trialled it and swiftly uninstalled it because the exact same problems are there - even with one single photo in it.
    My concern is that Apple will not fix the cause of the problem which seems to lie outside of Aperture.
    If Apple concentrate on making Aperture 3 work better inside a possibly shaky Snow Leopard then I will be very disappointed.
    I'm not forking out for a new version of software just because Apple broke my current software. Don't get me wrong - I do actually WANT to buy Aperture 3 because it has functional improvements and advancements that I would love to be using providing it works properly - and for me (and it appears for 'quite a few' others as well) it just simply doesn't… and neither does Aperture 2 any more.
    I am no technical expert (as you've probably noted already) but a MAJOR bug seems to lie in the relationship between Snow Leopard, graphics cards, and the way it handles memory - and so in turn graphically-intensive applications like Aperture are high-lighting these problems more than others.
    I am sure there are people without these problems. Perhaps these problems relate to specific hardware configurations. My configuration is Apple standard. I really shouldn't have these problems.
    Until Apple fix this major bug I cannot remotely consider Aperture 3.
    Until Apple fix this major bug I could never buy Apple again.
    Up until Snow Leopard you had a VERY happy camper. I had a perfect machine and I was shouting Mac from the rooftops to anyone that would listen.
    And then it seems Snow Leopard broke my machine.
    What a shame.
    I really want to use Apple, I actually really like Snow Leopard, I really want to use Aperture, I really want to carry on telling people how wonderful the Apple Mac experience is (or was...) but Apple are currently making it very difficult for me to continue doing so.
    Please fix Snow Leopard.
    This will hopefully fix Aperture 2 and Aperture 3.
    Unless anyone else has a fix?
    Sincere apologies to all for banging on for so long !!

    Thanks for your input setwart.
    When I make adjustments I do want Aperture to provide me with a new version so that I can see the original image and also that I have a version which I have already adjusted. I've previously tried changing that preference before with no improvement in performance unfortunately, but it's not really what I was referring to.
    Versions, thumbnails and previews were very confusing terms to me for a while… actually, in some ways, they still are but my understanding is 'a little' better now.
    That said, I probably used the wrong term.
    What I meant was that every time you make an adjustment Aperture seems to produce a 'record' or 'snap-shot' of your image including that latest adjustment. In so doing you have an entire history of each adjustment you have made. In my head I picture this like a movie film-strip with each frame differing slightly. You increase your saturation by a single point? Another snap-shot. Fancy another single point on your saturation? Another snap-shot… and so on.
    It is typical that I will make a bare minimum of 20 adjustments on each image, and that's before even thinking about straightening, cropping, and retouching… and then maybe I'll go back and tweak everything again !!
    Somehow, my system is having difficulty in keeping up to speed with all of those snap-shots of individual adjustments. Certain adjustments will drastically slow things down more than others, and then I get to play with the beach-balls.
    But - it used to handle these things just fine and that's what I'm trying to get back to.
    Thanks again for getting involved.

  • Mail app and Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion and Mavericks

    I have, and use, 3 different Macs, an older MacMini running Snow Leopard, an older MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks.  My personal email account, setup using the Mail.app, works fine on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.  On the MBP running Mavericks, I setup the Mail.app using the same settings as on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.  It doesn't work.  Nothing but timeouts.
    I've read a lot about the problems with Mavericks and IMAP and updated Mavericks apps, including Mail.  Still no go.  I'm not so much asking for help as registering that the IMAP problems aren't fixed.
    But if anyone has some ideas, I'm listening.
    Thanks all!
    Brenda

    I'd check to see if the latest version of the plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible or not, unless you have a really large number of plug-ins to deal with, where you could just see what's broke and what's not, post upgrade. But beware of retaining the old ones. For example, 10.6 Mail broke the GPG-Mail plug-in that works under 10.5.x. Search the Snow Leopard Mail forum using the search phrase "GPG Mail" OR GPGMail OR "GPG-Mail" or other mail plug-in names of interest to you.

  • Best practice for iCloud across Lion and Snow Leopard

    Hi all,
    I'm not going to bleat about SL not supporting iCloud. I understand the business model.
    However, I'm wondering if any of you are in the same shoes as me and, if so, how you handle content management across iCloud compatible and incompatible devices.
    I have Lion on our 6month old iMac and Snow Leopard on my 6 year old Macbook.  This Macbook is still incredibly fast and reliable. I program websites across both devices using software like Coda 2, Transmit, etc etc...
    I'm a huge fan of the cloud and, while I can use dropbox on all my devices, I kinda like the inbuilt functionality of iCloud more.  (Plus I have more space there). Just wondering what workflows people are using to try and sync and work with content across compatible and incompatible devices.
    Cheers,

    There are some hacks to using iCloud with Snow Leopard. One of the keys is you must use iCloud as your primary source for Contacts and Calendars. That is, when you want to make additions or changes to either your calendar or contacts you really MUST do it from the web interface to iCloud. Otherwise you may wind up with duplicates.

  • 2008 iMac and Snow Leopard

    My parents bought a new 20 in iMac this February with a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro Graphics Card. It was their first Mac previously having used PC's. I was looking at the Snow Leopard specs last night, as they will ask whether they should get it and it clearly says that Open CL will only work with the ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870 or more recent NVIDIA cards used in the iMacs introduced this year.
    I was a bit shocked at this, surely there must be some mistake. OK my 5 year old G5 won't run Leopard, but to find that a six month old iMac won't run a core Leopard component is, well, not very impressive. So Leopard will boost your Mac's performance but only if you bought it this year. I have to admit I'm beginning to wonder about Apple.
    Can anyone tell me whether Snow Leopard will boost performance on this iMac at all?

    OpenCL is not a "core" Mac OS X component. All it does is allows developers to use a Mac's graphics hardware (the GPU) to do some non-graphics processing in certain situations, basically off-loading some types of work from the CPU. But the primary purpose of the GPU is to accelerate graphics processing, and Snow Leopard supports the OpenGL every bit as well as Leopard. Also, to take advantage of OpenCL, developers have to figure out where they can apply it, and recode their applications to use this new capability. That's going to take time.
    Therefore, Snow Leopard will immediately make your parent's iMac run better, more efficiently, in many ways not related to OpenCL, due to the different areas of optimization. Lack of support for OpenCL does not make that iMac any slower when upgraded to Snow Leopard, it just just a non-factor, something that does not apply. There will be no impact from OpenCL even on supported Macs until developers learn how to use this capability and update their apps.
    It is the same as any improvement Apple makes from one generation of iMac to the next. The 2008 iMac supports 4GB of RAM (officially), the 2009 iMac supports 8GB of RAM. The 2008 iMac can connect a 24-inch second display, the 2009 iMac can connect a 30-inch second display. The 2009 iMac has larger hard drive storage options. And so on...

  • Running Leopard and Snow Leopard

    Hey guys and gals... I recently bought a new macbook pro with snow leopard installed. This is all great, but the program that I use the most (pro tools) only works on leopard (unless of course I want to pay 150 dollars to upgrade my pro tools, which I do not). Is there any way to run leopard and snow leopard just as some people run windows and osx? I would also like to not have to restart my computer every single time I wanted to switch back and forth. ANY help is greatly appreciated!
    Justin C

    Is there any way to run leopard and snow leopard just as some people run windows and osx?
    Basically, not if the computer was released after Mac OS X 10.6.
    I would also like to not have to restart my computer every single time I wanted to switch back and forth.
    This function requires Mac OS X Server.

  • Airport Extreme and Snow Leopard

    Hi All,
    Hello from Brazil. I just got a new 17" MacBook Pro with the intel Core i7 processor, and Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Love it! Very fast, low heat, and good battery life.
    I am trying to set up my old Airport Extreme MB053LL/A base station, but the install disc is not supported on SL. I have all the latest updates from Apple support but it still won't work. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for responding. I have figured out it is not a problem with the Airport software, but with the DSL modem and the Airport base station. I have the base connected to the modem in the "wan" port as directed, but when I attempt to connect to it using the Airport setup utility, it doesn't recognize it. It "scans" but does not see it.
    I previously had this base station connected to a cable modem on my wife's Macbook and it worked fine. I recently relocated to Brazil and I am wondering if the frequency the base station uses might be the problem. I think I will try resetting the modem as described in the trouble shooting section. If that doesn't work I guess I am sunk. I know my wireless card is working because I can see some other networks here in my neighborhood, and even was able to connect to one that was not secured. Everyone here uses PC. Some of the folks here have never even heard of the Mac!

  • Nokia N86 and (Snow) Leopard

    Does anyone here know if the Nokia N86 smartphone is compatible with the latest cats, Leopard and Snow Leopard?
    I currently have an N73 and it interfaces just fine either via USB or Bluetooth and the Nokia Multimedia Transfer app (1.4). iSync, iPhoto, iTunes are able to speedily do their thing with the phone. Bluetooth connectivity started working again after the 10.5.8 update. However, that phone is getting dated and my carrier is currently offering very attractive hardware upgrade plans for the holiday season; since the main use I have for it (besides making calls and sending SMS's) is taking pictures, the N86 fabulous 8 megapixel camera with mechanical shutter and Zeiss lens is really attractive.
    Nokia says the Multimedia Transfer app is not compatible, but it said the same thing about the N73, so I'd rather ask the Discussions Collective any experiences with this N86 phone. Yeah or nay?
    Oh, and why am I blaspheming about a Nokia instead of following the One True Faith and getting an iPhone? Cause it is too bloody expensive over here with our carriers! Not only is it expensive to get, it is even more so to maintain!! Doubles or triples what I currently pay.
