A colleague cannot get his printer to print Word documents since installing OS 10.6.1. He has a current model iMac. He gets a library error message when attempting print Word documents. Adobe pdf docs print, even though printer offline message is displayed. Can't find any new drivers on HP

Hi Rod, The bit that is missing is an amplifier. The audio output from the airport express is meant to drive the input of an amplifier/receiver/music centre (typically via an ³Aux in² input port). There is no amplifier in the Airport Express and the output is insufficient to drive the speakers

Hello Rae, See if you can still download iMovie 06 from the Apple site. You could do this as a registered iMovie 08 user. You will not need lessons for iMovie 06 ... I am certain !! On 01/10/2009, at 6:46 PM, Rae Davison wrote: Hi I'm looking for some help with imovie. I have ilife 8. and

Just thinking off the top of my head, Apple now bundle printers drivers in with Software Update as a central repository. Just try Googling to see if you need to download this or if you can prompt Software Update to get this update. Cheers, David Moyle Systems Technician Apple, Windows,

Thanks David. We checked software update before contacting Wamug. I'll suggest to my colleague next week that he do a google search. He has joined the ranks of those whose computers worked very well before Snow Leopard was installed but has wasted hours since it was installed, trying to do

Slightly different question. Are waterproof wireless speakers available? I umpire rowing and one of the difficulties is that crews who are 80 metres or so from the starter can not hear the word ³Go² unless megaphones are used, and if megaphones are used the wind carries the sound hundreds of

Hello Michael, You don't mention what Model HP Laserjet Printer your friend is using (or trying to use) in Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is the first version of Mac OS that doesn’t support AppleTalk. While that shouldn’t be an issue for most people, if have an ancient printer that uses

Since upgrading to SL, I seem to get regular hangs (twice daily perhaps?) in Mail. The hangs seem to happen when dealing with attachments, as in opening an attachment whilst in a message, and I think even selecting a file to attach to an email. I have to force quit Mail and restart.

Hi Michael, It is a HP LaserJet 2100TN in Maria Langer's article, but might be helpful for sorting the HP LaserJet P2014n. HP hasn't released new drivers compatible with Snow Leopard for the P2014n ... yet. The link below mentions a solution for HP LaserJet P2014n. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Thanks Ronni. Looks like the cynical advice to wait for 6 months before installing an updated OS because it takes that long for drivers to be updated may have an element of worth, as far as HP is concerned. I've steered clear of HP since having enormous trouble back in 2002. Cheers, Michael.

Hi Michael, I don't think it's cynical advice to wait 6 months before installing a new OS. I've waited a year before switching people to a new OS on a production machine - it is just too costly in time and money to switch people over for the sake of a new OS being there and risk

Hi Ronni -- -- I've got quite an old HP 5MP Laserjet, how do I check if it's connected via Ethernet/Appletalk (yes, this should be obvious, I plead old age). I checked System Preferences/ Hardware/Printers for the 5MP, it doesn't seem to say. I have a network which connects to another Mac,
