Re: USB-Parallel cable: Driver for a G5?

2012-04-24 Thread Paxton
 You may need to install a driver for the USB-to-Parallel bridge chipset.

 Look in System Profiler under USB to see the chipset. Many use a
 Prolific chipset which I think needs a driver in OS X.

 Thanks for this useful hint.
 What I got in System Profiler is this:
    Product  ID:    0x1001
    Vendor ID:    0x047e

 Looking up an USB database (http://www.linux-usb.org/usb-ids.html), this is
 what I found:
    047e  Agere Systems, Inc. (Lucent)
    1001  USS720 Parallel Port

 So, it seems my USB-Parallel cable is somehow recognized by the Mac.
 Now I don't know what to look for...
 I googled usb parallel Agere Systems macintosh, but I couldn't find
 anything related (mostly is Linux stuff).

 Any idea?


You might want to check that the parallel port on the printer is
enabled. If it was last used in another environment then it might not
be open.

Re: Analog video input?

2011-12-16 Thread Paxton
 If you don't have a camcorder with firewire output, how do most Mac users
 input their analog composite video into their Mac's for editing?  I have a
 couple older Hi-8mm camcorders and a ton of family tapes that I want to edit


I have tried the All in Wonder  to digitize video and didn't really
like it. It is getting long in tooth and I had dropped frames.

the canopus  ADVC300 is highly rated. I didn't buy one when my surplus
dealer had a bunch for about $100 and am regretting it. It is one of
the most recommended methods to dump video.

Recently I bought a Sony 350 Digital 8 camcorder with a firewire out
that I am hoping will work for my old Hi8 tapes. I have a lot to edit
also.

Re: Analog video input?

2011-12-16 Thread Paxton
 I don't know if the Digital 8 camcorder will play Hi8 tapes or not, but I do
 know that most Sony Digital 8 can be made to pass-thru analog video and
 output digital video as if they are an analog-to-digital converter device.
 You plug-in the analog device to the RCA jacks on the digital camcorder and
 use a Firewire cable for the output.


The Digital 8s will play Hi-8 tapes, at least the high end ones will.
I didn't know you could modify some  with firmware.

I have a JVC DV camcorder with pass through and it does work as
mentioned above. I did a test with my G4 Quicksilver and it worked but
it was a lot of cabling and my only Hi-8 source camcorder had mono
audio, one of the reasons I went looking for a 300 series Sony
Camcorder.

When I was saving computers I saved the biggest and most maxed out. In

Re: 5v power adapters

 I want to buy a 5v power adapter that I can use on most of my stuff ilke

 work across the board, Is there something like this I can get?

I am surprised no one has mentioned getting a small bench power supply

I have two bench supplies that I consider invaluable in powering up
new-to-me equipment. One of them as a dedicated 5V output among the
adjustable outputs. The regulation is so much better than any wall
wart.

Another cheap alternative is to get a 5V regulated power block like a
Lamda that comes out of surplus rack mounted computer gear, also well
regulated.

For these you would have to wire up the handfull of power tips yourself.

I looked up the specs on the epson and I don't think there is a

The Epson prints 13 inches by 44 inches and I don't know a laser that
does that (in color).

Also the Epson uses pigmented inks which are much more finely milled
than laser toner. So for quality photos that last a long time the
Epsons are better.  I suspect, for archival colors, that the Xerox
thermal wax printers might come close. However I don't think any of
those come in 13 inch wide.

Most people who use the Epsons are printing photos and using the 13
inch wide feature of the printers.

There are good laser printers that do a good job on photos but I don't
know of any larger than 11X17. What is she trying to print?

Re: Recommend a Scanner

2009-01-29 Thread Paxton

 Can anyone recommend a currently available artist quality scanner
 that will work with my G4 MDD running OS X 10.3 (and probably will
 upgrade to 10.4)? I did check the archives, but the related topics are
 a little dated.


The most important thing in a scanner is the Dmax which gives the
range the scanner covers from light to dark. For Artist Quality the
higher Dmax the better.

At our local community college I have used the Epson 1XL that is a
12 X 17 Graphic Arts scanner hooked into a Mac graphic arts lab. I
really liked it but at $2500 it is very expensive. It's Dmax is 3.8
and it now is an older product.

The one I would recommend is a V700,  a current model.  It has a Dmax
of 4.0, is new $547 from Epson and is a 6400 X 9600 DPI scanner.  My
photography teacher, at the community college, bought one for himself.
It covers 8.5 X11 inches. I thnk you could find it cheaper.

I lucked out this last trip and got an Epson 4490 Photo from Goodwill
for $10. It is a current but older model with a Dmax of 3.4 and is
4800 X 9600 DPI model, also 8.5 X 11 inches.

These are all 48 bit color depth. and all have Digital ICE.

There is the V500 but it is the upgrade of the 4490 and only has a
Dmax of 3.4, nowhere near as good as the V700.

I would recommend the Epson Perfection V700.

 pitfalls and perils I ought to be aware of before attempting anything.
 I also wonder if the files it uses might be proprietary and/or
 unaccessable or usable on my Mac.


Check out the Yahoo group dishrip. It has 27,000 members.

It doesn't really cover your DVR but it has lots of good information
that might cross over.

Re: Which printer do you like?

2008-12-23 Thread Paxton

I have been using Goodwill printers at about $10 each, specializing in
HP Photosmart 7350s and 7550s. I use these because I standardized on
the 56, 57 and 58 ink carts. They seem to work well however the door
to change the ink carts is a little flaky so I check those out before
I buy one.

I have refilled these 5X carts with a Costco refill kit but abandoned
it. The color was acceptable but noticeably worse than using HP carts.

I have had good luck printing with them both photos and text, on Mac
(10.3.9) , PC (XP  98) and Linux (Ubuntu). I also travel for several
months at a time and have always had good luck in coming back and
using the printer after it has not been used for two or three months.

I also have a Lexmark E234n Network laser printer that I also got at
Goodwill for $10. Had to change the feed roller (actually just turned
them over.) Works really well as a BW network printer. Very quick.
Works well with the Macs. It replaced a networked Laserjet 5 that also
worked with the Macs (OS9.2).

My next printer I am looking for is a Epson 2400  printer with pigment
inks for studio quality Photo reproduction. Hoping to find one in
Goodwill.

CS4 doesn't work on your Quicksilver.  you need a later processor. CS4

Adobe Creative Suite (CS), the first generation of the software would

Estate sale find, imac wi password and bad CD...How to get past

Last weekend I got a nice iMac 600 MHz G3 slot loader with what
appears to be a bad CD drive. It won't grab the CD and pull it in and
if pushed in won't work (probably not getting it in all the way).

And it is running a password protected OS X, not sure what version.
The owner is gone, it was an estate sale.

My question is how to bypass the password. I tried my OS X 3.5 disk
and had to dismantle the Imac to get the disk back out. Did not boot
from C.

Not sure how to boot in target mode. Is this what I would do to hook
it up to a machine.with a firewire cable (which I don't have). Can I
do it over Ethernet through my hub?

Any other way of deleting the password?  Removing the battery? Jumper
inside the computer.

Can I use an external USB CD drive.  USB thumb drive?

Re: Estate sale find, imac wi password and bad CD...How to get past

2008-11-06 Thread Paxton


 My question is how to bypass the password.

 Try:

Worked great, thank you. The iMac came up with OS X 10.1.2.

Definitely need to nuke and pave.
