Oops, I misunderstood the question. I thought you had a older printer  
that HP quit supporting. You have a brand new printer than HP doesn't  
support below 10.5 Leopard. Have you tried installing the Leopard  
drivers? They may work, after all, Leopard is "universal" so this  
driver should also work on both PPC & Intel Macs. If there's an  
installer limitation the won't allow installation on 10.4.11, you can  
download Pacifist  for free and use it to  
install the Leopard drivers. Pacifist allows you to see where  
everything is installed, so if there was a problem you could open the  
driver package again and manually remove each file installed to revert  
back to your previous situation.


If you wait, I'm certain the GutenPrint or HPIJS will add support for  
the Deskjet 1000 some day real soon now. In the mean time, I'd try the  
Leopard driver "HP Deskjet 1000 Driver 12.1.0" and see if it works:

Is that machine capable of having Leopard installed through normal

X from another successful installation for machines less than 1GHz  
processor power?

HP Deskjet 1000 Printer Mac OS 10.4.11 Drivers

[maryland1571]

Hello everyone,
I just recently purchased a HP Deskjet 1000 printer.  Unfortunately
this printer does not have any drivers for Mac OS 10.4.11.  I tried
calling up HP to see if there are any beta drivers or any work
arounds, there were none.  I also did a quick Google search and did
find one message board posting to see if anyone else might have a work
around and came up dry.

I was wonder if anyone in this group might have a work around to get
this printer to work with Mac OS 10.4.11.


Anything that anyone can come up with will be greatly appreciated!

Re: problems installing Leopard software on g4

Have you tried inserting the Leopard install DVD after booting up  
normally, ignoring the prompt to install and closing that window,  
then going to System Preferences>Startup Disk, selecting the install  
DVD (it appears there, right?) as the system you want to start up  
your computer, and clicking on Restart? Just a thought. It's the way  
I usually install (and I don't know that Leopard would be any  
different - but I've never installed Leopard). Doesn't amount to  
anything more than what's already been suggested, maybe, but it's a  
different path that might yield a clue. Or even work.

You've got to get the DVD to boot from the optical drive in order to  
install.


Here's something else to try:

Boot the Mac normally, and double-click the "Install OS X" which will  
restart.


When it begins to restart, hold the Cmd-v keys and see what the  
verbose dialog says when it tries to boot from the DVD?


The final line of the dialog, or a repeating line should give you a  
clue as to what the problem is hopefully.

problems installing Leopard software on g4

[akhoff18]

Hi,

I recently got a Leopard 10.5 dvd to install on my powermac g4. i made
sure that my unit has all the correct requirements to run the OS
(867MHz, 1.25GB RAM, 9000 radeon ati graphics card) but it is not
installing correctly. an icon will appear on the desktop that prompts
me to install the program and then tells me to restart the computer
and the installation will begin after it reboots, but the installation
never occurs.

any advice or tips on how to make this work for me?? should i put the
files on an external hard drive instead? please and thank you!

Oh, boy, where to begin. First of all, the heater is in a separate
room with my SO, who can’t stand to have the temp below 76F. Secondly,
the cost of rewiring the house along with upgrading/rewiring/replacing
the breaker panel would be hundreds (perhaps thousands) of dollars,
far exceeding the value of the heater, the G5 and the quad Intel
combined (it’s a PC, not a Mac Pro.)  Money I don’t have, by the way.
Not unwilling to spend, mind you, but do not have.
Your suggestions about the DVD-RW are spot on. And perhaps if I have
some spare time and I feel like tinkering, I may give it a try.
However, the G5 sucks power like a Hoover , and as you noted, turns my
little home office into a sauna in the summer. For $100 in Xmas gift
cards and some spare parts, I built a much more efficient machine to
handle its function.  If I was as well heeled as you seem to think I
am, I would’ve bought a shiny new Mac mini to do the job.
Drama? I didn’t think so, but perhaps next time I’ll wear my cape and
Fawkes mask to drive the point home…

Indeed so.

Only the last (and greatest) G4s are suitable for overclocking.

It was dicey, at best, for 1.42 to 1.5, and it is almost suicidal for 1.25
to 1.42.

Safari tried to open an image file which specified an invalid colorspace type. 
Most often this occurs when someone posts a CYMK image on the web instead of an 
RGB one with bad metadata. This error is a precautionary note.

A lot of, if not most of the entries in the logs are for informational purposes

what a file metadata says it is and what it appears to be from the data.

I once overclocked a 1.42 to 1.5.

I think 1.25 to 1.42 may be a stretch, but it might work.

I Googled on the usual suspects and got a photo which showed the four chip
resistors and a description of which gave which multiplier.

The board is a rather thick 6- or 8-layer job, and desoldering a chip
resistor is difficult, while soldering (or re-soldering) a chip resistor
is nearly impossible.

I cannot remember whether so-called "zero-ohm" resistors were used, or
pull-ups were used.

In either case, the thermal issues are the same.

All you need is a special ROM to put in the system folder and OS  
9.2.2 boots on these

Kris, you have made similar assertions on numerous occasions over this  
group.  With all due respect, I still cannot agree with you.  In my  
rather large current collection of Mac OS Universal-Install (Retail)  
DVD/CD/floppy sets, there are several original OS 9.2.1CDs, that are  
"white with the orange/yellow '9' on it" (Apple Number 691-3334-A).   
In fact, HardCoreMac.com sells such CDs for $160:


Such Universal-Install OS 9.2.1 CDs also come up on eBay relatively  
frequently for much less.


At one time I had a similar Universal-Install OS 9.2.2 CD, also "white  
with the orange/yellow '9' on it, that Dana referred to.  Since I sold  
it to a LEM Swap Group buyer, who claimed to be in desperate need for  
it, a few years ago, I am no longer in a strong position to argue with  
you about that.

You can have a dual boot OS X v10.4.11, plus MacOS 9.x, on the same
partition, or on different drives. Your can (well, I can) select Start-
up disk from either OS System Preferences/Start-up Disk, either way.
Never had a problem. As long as you have a FW400 main logic board,
133MHz or 167Mhz, doesn't matter at all.

Re: Dual G5 Dilemma

[Ross]

"It also has a tendency to trip the

> at the same time." ROLOTHFLMAO! hahahahhahahahhahahaha...

What's your so-called dilemma? Get the BIG-ASS electrical load off the
DP G5 circuit. Try running the Intel and !!!heater!!! off of separate
circuits. HEATER! Damn, with a DP G5, you should be looking for AC,
not heat. Whole thing is non-sense from this observers' POV. Got power
problems, by a nice APC UPS rated at 1.5KW for ~$150.00 to $200.00.
Have an electrician install two separate new home run circuit to your
computer room. and load balance the main electrical panel. This is
cheap insurance for all systems and won't cost any more than the
deferred maintenance you have NOT been paying for for 3-years. Clean
up any "dirty gounds", separate, don't share neutrals with disparate
circuits, while you're at it.

Shut down your DP G5 and open it up. R&R the optical drive with
specialized screw set from the unit. Make any minor adjustments to the
drive itself, and to bottom legs to get the chasis level. Stand the
system, reinstall the optical drive with the specialized screw set.
Adjust the drive to clear the door when ejecting the tray. Preserve
the external shimming of the upright system unit as you put it where
it wil lbe running. While you are inside the unit, if dusty, blow it
out you lazy housekeeper! Check your video card fan while you are at
it.

Lastly, just give the DP G5 away to someone who would be grateful to
receive it, not treat it as a an excuse for drama. You well-heeled
penurious types who create these NON-ISSUE issues slay me. I'm a
working boy, LEM all the damn way. If my stuff quits, I fix it, I
don't just pass, bitch, and buy another new system to neglect.

How to Auto-shutdown during sleep?

[Geke]

I have set up a Mac for public use. It starts up and shuts down
automatically at the beginning and end of the day -- but the shutting
down works only if the Mac is being used at the scheduled time.

I like to have it sleep and log off after some time though, because
there’s not that many people using it.
How to make it shut down according to schedule even if it’s sleeping
or logged off?

It’s a GigE with 10.4.11 and limited-user accounts in English, German
and Italian to accommodate different users; that’s why I let it log
off.

Any ideas? I have the feeling I’m missing an easy way to do this. An
Applescript might work, but I haven’t looked into that yet.

Re: Unstable PowerMac G4

[dc]

I would get a new hard drive and do a clean install of 10.4, see if
that fixes things. When hard drives first start to fail they randomly
lock up. 10.4, 10.3, 9.2, safe mode, single user mode... all these
access the hard drives in slightly different ways. I had very similar
symptoms in my Cube and was lucky enough to copy my files and get a
new hard drive in before the failure become a disaster.

OS X and MacOS 9 on the MDD

[Ross]

There is NO MYSTERY here. The MDD shipped with OS X v10.2.8 system
specific install disk set. Plus a MacOS 9.x Restore Disk set that
installs MacOS 9.x, after OS X, with a specialized MDD System ROM for
MacOS 9.x. If you don't have the full set of either, You must perform
an install a retail OS X 10.4.11, and use the Netboot disc set
downloaded, and installed from Apple to install MacOS 9.x, but after
install, BEFORE restart, remove the two Netboot Extensions to the
Disabled Extensions folder in the MacOS 9.x System file, then restart.

You may also have to remove a couple of the non-working ATI video
drivers from the MacOS 9.x System Folder to disable them.

Firmware level of the MDD for OS X must be at 4.2.8(f), and the ROM
for MacOS 9.x at netboot level, or equivalent. Firmware updates on the
MDD must be done usually from MacOS 9.x.

I have the original OS X Install Set, and the Restore Set that
installs MacOS 9.x on the MDD.series systams. I will make a post of
the CDR masters for both sets to mediafire, or yousendit etc.. that
anyone can download and burn media from Disk Utitity.

This silliness for obscuring, impeding the use of Mac hardware has got
to cease.

I will burn and mail a full MDD disk setn for the cost of the media
period for those who don't want/can't be bothered to learn how to do
it themselves. Enough, people!
