Re: Mac and iOS-Friendly Printer

In past years, we have used Canon, Epson, and HP and I know things have changed. Now, I want to look at several brands for both photo and text work: Canon, HP, Epson, and Brother. I want to avoid something that is too PC-oriented. Thanks, Al Poulin I recently decided to cut my paper and ink costs for ordinary black and white printing. I chose to go with a Samsung Xpress M2830DW laser printer. I bought it at Staples for less than $100. It works well with all our various Mac desktops and laptops, as well as with our iOS devices because it’s a native AirPrint printer. It also has a USB port, thus is hard-wired to my main desktop iMac. It’s fast, and will accept just about any paper/printable material you can feed into it. The black text and other images are super sharp and crisp, unlike whiskery inkjet printers. What’s more, it can be set to automatically print on both sides of a piece of paper, and it does so quickly with its built-in duplexer. The OEM toner cartridge will print about 1200 pages, and I have a 3000-page toner cartridge bought on Amazon for $40 sitting on the shelf when the time comes. Really nice machine, and it’s also NFC ready, so that when I get an Apple Watch or an iPhone 6 I can just tap the device on the printer to print out whatever strikes my fancy. +1 on all of that. I bought a 2835DW this past summer, because my high-school aged kids were eating me alive on bills for ink cartridges for the Canon MP810.

She's tried exporting the video to a Quicktime movie using various settings, but nothing has worked so far - the audio is always great, but the video just can't keep up. Would anyone happen to know what format the video would need to be for this to work well? The solution she has come up with is to create a DVD with iDVD, move the TS_Video folder to the hard drive, and then run the video using DVD player. Unfortunately, this only works on the iMac's that have an internal DVD drive. The ones that are CD only refuse to let the DVD player app start up. Is there a work around for that? I would love to put a few kids movies on one of these old boxes as a video babysitter while my wife and I steal a few moments together away from my youngest.

Tiger install on Lime (333 MHz) iMac
All: I am having a problem re-installing Tiger on my 333 MHz iMac (tray loading). I have the CD distribution of Tiger, which I used, several years back, when this machine was upgraded from OS 9 to OS X. Eventually, the system got to the point where it would no longer boot (don't ask why, it just wouldn't), so I backed up all the data, reformatted the HD (including making sure that it had a boot partition no larger than 7 GB), re-installed OS 9.2.2, zapped the PRAM, etc. Problem occurs when I try to intall Tiger. I have XPostFacto installed, I launch it, choose the OS X Install CD 1 to boot from and reboot. The system boots from the CD just fine. I click thru the various windows, including the one which tells me that I will need all 4 CDs for the install I have chosen. Here's where things go horribly wrong - it begins the install process (remember, the installer told me that I need all 4 CDs), but never gets to the point where it asks for disks 2-4! It simply goes thru the install process on disk 1, then says Installation complete and reboots. Needless to say, the install fails. Anyone have any clues as to what is going wrong here? As I noted, I have successfully used this CD set to install Tiger in the past. Very confusing... -- tom coradeschi tc...@skylands.ibmwr.org --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

This goes for Apple as does the folks developing Linux distros. I've not mentioned Windose for a reason: would it not be nice that they can improve/develop their OSes without losing that snappier feel? Imagine OS X on an older machine being as snappier as you've described. That indeed would be nice. It seems to be that OSes continue to be developed for hardware that have not been created yet. And I understand the need for the hardware to improve, larger HDs, etc, but can't the OSes be written to run even snappier because of that. Instead they seem to lag behind. I will not, not continue buying the fastest computer just to use the latest OS. Nope. It's a game. What you describe is, by all accounts, one of the big selling points for Snow Leopard.
