Re: Snow Leopard won't play with my printer...
Bill: First of all, it seems that your older Intel iMac came with Tiger 10.4.4 and therefore may not boot from Panther. I'm not sure about that. And your later Intel iMac would have come with a later OS X. Presumably, your friend's G4 eMac does not have OS 9 installed, the OS 9 drivers are not installed, and whatever version of OS X is on it does not have Classic on board. If it is running Panther or Tiger, your friend's original installer disk(s) should have Classic available. But you may not wish to impact that machine's software configuration, unless the owner is kind of techie and offers to do so. As I mentioned in another list on this topic, you could try to Find someone locally with an Mac running O9 or Classic. If available, that would be the easiest thing to do. But your next best alternative is indeed something like what you propose here. You may need to use a second external FW drive if you do not want to erase your backup files on the drive at hand. The likely issue is that your current backup drive may be using the GUID file system if you set it up with an Intel Mac. The G4 eMac will boot only from a drive formatted with the APM (Apple Partition Map) and not from a drive with the GUID Partition Table (GPT). With Leopard (and likely Snow Leopard), you can find a setting in Disk Utility to format in APM.

That drive's about 85% empty right now so space isn't an issue, but I'm wondering about a couple of things: A) Can I partition this drive without deleting what's already there? Yes you can with Snow Leopard. As always, you should back it up first, because there is always the risk of destroying access to the onboard files. But if already formatted with GUID, that stops the show. B) Would I need separate partitions for OS 9 and Panther? No. C) Is creating OS partition(s) even necessary? I probably wouldn't keep the OS stuff there long-term since I have no need for Classic, let alone 9, except for this (I hope) one-time issue. No. But if that drive is GUID, it will not boot the G4. D) Would there be any reason to install OS 9 alone, then cart the drive and the printer to a friend's house who has a G4 eMac which could run 9 by itself? I'd rather not have to horse the stuff around but if the main strategy is flawed I can certainly do so. If you format a drive in APM, there is no reason to install Panther. I propose you bring an external drive to the G4, format it in APM, install OS 9, and then do your printer business. E) Can I install 9 from the images or would I have to burn discs and install from those? This is analogous to installing from a .dmg download. You should be able to mount the disk image and install the software. You should be able to do all this without impacting the friend's G4 configuration except possibly for temporary use of his Desktop. I'm not sure that installing OS 9 directly from the disk(s) to the external drive will work. You may have to first copy the image to the Desktop. If there's anything I'm missing or forgetting, please give me a whack on the head. As always my thanks in advance! Barring any clarifying comments from other folks on this list, any remaining questions involving the G4 would be best taken up on the lowendmac G-List (G3-5 List). You may have lost some of this list's audience with the printer theme of the original topic.

Re: Snow Leopard won't play with my printer...

Re: Snow Leopard won't play with my printer...
And a related question: assuming I get a router and connect the 12/640 to it via ethernet, are there any issues with using an ethernet cable that's 15 feet long or maybe even a bit more? (Something else I'd have to buy.) That's about how far apart the router and the printer would be. Now there's a question I CAN answer =) Anything under 100 feet will do you well in the mysteies of the Ethernet cable. (I think it can be up to 135 feet, but memory fails me when it is something i haven't learned yet) from personal expierence, i've used an 80 foot cable to connect the printer I had to the router in another part of the house, since I didn't want a second router, and that way the printer was next to the door, where I could always see what papers I might forget whilst leaving for school.

Do I have to get a second router into the loop? Well, bleah. This would require replacing the AE with another wifi router, this time with some ethernet ports. This is why I seriously dislike AE's as a sole wifi routing solution. A regular Apple Base Station (after the very first ones), Linksys, D- link or Netgear router gives you the option of having a mixed- transport network; the AE was really designed for two things: extending an existing wifi network or being a portable wifi network. I have this one at home http://tinyurl.com/lkx5mj and it's proven quite reliable for my little home network (1 wired Mac, a network accessible hard drive, a wired Laserjet and two wireless Macs.) WiFI is one place where you definitely don't have to stick to Apple equipment. Everyone has a built-in web-based router configuration which works with anything that can connect and run a web browser, so there's no configuration issues with them. Alternatively you can find something like one of the first five things on this page: http://tinyurl.com/ppx6cj They're devices that connect anything with an ethernet port to Wifi network. We have used these several times in the past to connect networkable printers to the Wifi network. I tested one by putting my Powerbook 540C onto the Wireless network. They will work out-of-the-box to unsecured networks, plug it in, it finds it and you're good, or you can connect a computer to them (via ethernet) and configure them via the built-in web server. Then plug in your printer and go. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Snow Leopard won't play with my printer...
I've done this successfully at home quite well. I've got an Airport Extreme (not the dual band one) with 3 Airport Express base stations (got them NEW from eBay for about $45 bucks each) I've got 2 of them acting as a bridge for my DIrecTV HDDVR units. DirecTV will allow you free on-demand programming IF you have either wireless or wired networking. Well, they will either sell you a kit or allow you to use a compatible router (essentially one with a free Ethernet port). In comes the AE (I just like the form factor and the price was right) and problem solved. Plus, it also has the dual function of extending my Aiport Extreme signal through our house (2 story home) On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 4:46 PM, Dennis B.
