I do not have the Lide 70, but I do have two other CanoScan scanners and a multi-function printer/copier/scanner. Those all work well, but the scanner buttons can be a little tricky sometimes.

Even with the 'free' over the web services? I find I don't use the fax as much now that I have an all in one printer, because I just scan and send as a PDF. I still find Epson's directions for installing their software, to be very misleading. They say 'installed' when they really mean 'uncompressed' or that only the installer was 'installed'. So you end up looking for a printer description that is not there because you have not done the second step. They STILL have not fixed that from back in OS 9.

I've removed the button manager, since with previous Canon LIDE scanners they used tons of CPU time. But you may need to set them once from the Toolbox program to get them to work. And you need to restart after you install the software (in case you haven't).

Yeah, their installers have always been bad. Have a look in the installer disk image - there's a folder called IntoCFMSupport_Login. I'm not sure which of those you need for the LIDE 70 (my disk image has two items), but you need to manually place them in /Library/CFMSupport, then find the right one to add to your login items in the Account prefs. (You might want to try running the installer again, because there's other stuff that needs to go there and in other locations. Each folder is labeled, so it's not too hard.)

The application association could be a problem at login... But that's not the files I have. Try checking the installation disc, or running the installer. You're clearly missing some parts.

Message-ID: <2552fa090702030909v4af61247qb7fd4c74db1dc57b@mail.gmail.com> I just purchased a Canon iP5200R printer and am having serious problems getting my setup to work properly. I have a wireless LAN at home: 1) G5 single (OS X Tiger 10.4.8) physically connected to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet connection. 2) MacBook (OS X Tiger 10.4.8) connected wirelessly to the LAN. 3) Dell something laptop XP thingy. The Canon iP5200R printer can be connected either wirelessly, by ethernet cable or by USB cable to the LAN. I started out with a wireless connection from the computers to the printer (my G5 has an Airport card). All of the computers looked like they had been configured properly, but I only managed to print one test page from the Dell to the printer after setup. Setup requires that you first have to connect the printer physically to each Mac with a USB cable. Then the "new" setup (which is actually the same for both Macs) is "transfered to the printer. Now I have tried to connect the printer physically to the router by way of an ethernet cable. After having had to redo the setup by connecting the printer to the G5 again with a USB cable, everything seemed to work - except printing. Now at least, OS X can detect the printer and so can the Canon utilities. Unfortunately, I still get an error number 300 saying that the printer does not respond. If I stop the job and resume it, the driver keeps spinning it's wheels trying to open a connection to the printer, but nothing happening. If I go into "utility", the printer is recognized from the get go and the printer is also recognized if I go into the printer configration. At this time, I am only working on getting the G5 to work. That means that I have the following configuration: 1) Only "wired LAN" is configured with "automatically get IP address" set. The address seems to be set to 192.168.1.106. 2) There is no Mac address or IP address control set. I really need some help on this as I am out of my depth. Here is some of the info the printer configuration: Canon iP520OR Network Configuration Page Printer : iP520OR Firmware Version : 1.02 Wireless LAN : Disabled Standard : IEEE 802.llg Network Type : Infrastructure Link Status : Inactive Signal Strength Link Quality Transmission Rate TCP/IP Mode IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway Wired LAN : Enabled Link Status : Active Transmission Rate : 10OMbps TCP/IP Mode : Auto Cheers, Brian From mccarville80620 at mac.com Wed Feb 7 14:20:07 2007 From: mccarville80620 at mac.com (Pamela McCarville) Date: Wed Feb 7 14:20:04 2007 Subject: [X-Newbies] Connecting to the Internet with OS 9 Message-ID: <6c94db3a72c7b955c9230eea68916ca9@mac.com> Hi I'm having problem connecting to the internet. I use Comcast and this morning they came by and hooked up a new modem - they said my other one was outdated. I have a G4 running OS 9.1 and a Ti-Laptop running 10.3.9. I have my tower set up as a AirPort Base Station. I do most of my work on my laptop. The minute he walked into the room he said he hated Macs, so I was afraid there might be trouble. And there was, after he hooked up the modem he couldn't get the tower to connect up. He said they didn't support OS 9 and I would have to call Apple and left. I called Comcast directly and while the guy didn't know Macs, said they did support OS 9. He thought maybe the AirPort Base Station was my problem. He asked if I could reset the AirPort card. If I connect the laptop up to the modem it works fine. But I'd really like to get the tower hooked up and back running as the base station and use my laptop wirelessly. Does anyone know if you can reset a Airport Card or if that even sounds like that could be the problem? Thanks to anyone who has an idea.

Unfortunately, every time I go in and make a change to another page in iWeb, it again reverts to -20. I have the same problem on another page where doing a search for "0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: -20px" in the source doesn't return anything.

Additionally it can delete virtual memory file(s), erase system history files, as well as cookies and Internet-related navigation/download history files." So how can it suddenly makes MS Word mute?

I don't mean to sound condescending, but you really need to better understand what Little Snitch does in order to use it effectively. It comes with a help file: read it. A *lot* of programs have a need to communicate outside your machine. Sometimes it is a simple check for updates (which is what Firefox is doing); sometimes it is the inherent nature of the program (how do you expect WeatherDock to update its weather, or Google Notifier to notify you of new messages if you block this function??). You ask "why is it important to block port 80?" Answer: it isn't. The old axiom applies: just because you CAN do a thing doesn't mean it's a good idea. I find that most people who want to use Little Snitch have two purposes for it: 1. (my use) Find out if there are any apps on your system that are sending out info when you don't want them too (checking for keyloggers, for example, or just finding out which apps "phone home" for updates or other purposes). 2. Hiding pirated apps. My suggestion to you is to watch what Little Snitch alerts you to and understand what it's asking, then give or deny permission accordingly. If an app like WeatherDock wants to send info out, I think it's something of a no-brainer that there is no sinister intent -- it needs to update its weather info, so you should give it permission to do so "forever." The only time you really need to deny permission is either intent #2 above, or you've just downloaded an app you're not sure about.

Reading the documentation that comes with an app rarely covers a large issue like OS X network/internet security in it's entirety. FWIW, I did read the documentation, as well as checked related issues on the developer's site forum. As far as WeatherDock was concerned, I considered it a no-brainer as well and was therefore surprised when I found that the setting had already been preconfigured by the developer. Since starting to use OS X, I have become increasingly concerned about issue #1. This comes from a mixture of not really understanding OS X security and having tested a fair amount of program demos lately. Purchasing Little Snitch and asking about port 80 were an attempt to learn a little bit more about OS X security.

I will second the Canon recommendation, especially if you are looking for a multi-function based on a color inkjet. If you are interested in one based on a laser engine, i would go with Brother. I wouldn't recommend HP because in the past few years their Macintosh service and support have often been unacceptable. ___________________________________________ Randy B.

My experience is very much contrary to this. In addition, I love how Canon treats customers and Mac users. I had a problem about a year ago with a Canon, and I was really impressed with the company. I called them and they gave me the option of either taking it to be repaired at a local Canon repair station, or to have it replaced. I opted to have it replaced. They overnighted me a brand new Canon, *and* a complete set of new ink cartridges. They had me keep the old ink cartridges and had me put the old Canon in the box the new one came in and they had FedEx pick up the old one. Total cost to me $0, plus I got a new set of ink cartridges out of the deal and I got to keep the old ones. I was only without my Canon for a day! My Canon Pixma is also a joy to use. I can't believe how well it performs for the price that I paid for it. ___________________________________________ Randy B.

With regret, I'd have to advise you AWAY from HP printers/AIOs at the moment. This is not due to the quality of their printers, which are fine -- it's due entirely to the buginess of their OS X driver software, which is intrusive and unstable as well as a poorly-written port from their PC software. If they ever really "get with the program" and write Mac-standards-compliant printer software, I'll rescind my view, but for now I would steer you towards the other brands that DO work well within OS X Tiger -- Brother, Canon, Epson.

The iP5200R is a last years model, but is an excellent printer and it functions great as a network printer (ethernet or WiFi). Canon however, is really sticking it to the Mac user, when it comes to interoperability and installation. My experience with a normal installation is that Canon doesn't seem to be able to leverage OS X properly. The install reminded me of a MS Office install - where files get thrown all over the place and some apps (utilities) are installed in the "Library" folder (!!!). Configuring the printer for my LAN required going directly into OS X and setting up a network printer (which also went smoothly), unlike the install on 2 PC's on my LAN where the install went smoothly in XP. To this day, some of the Canon utilities can't "discover" the printer, despite OS X finding it just fine. This makes it sometimes hard to diagnose cryptic messages that the printer throws out sometimes - with messages like I have to choose between the black cartridge(s) that I want to use or that I have no paper in the tray when it is obvious that I have paper (and it is placed properly. I really miss the Epson printer management software on my old C82!!! Good luck, Brian On 2/23/07, Charles Martin wrote: > >From: "Dana J. Laude" > > > >I recently bought a 20" iMac.

This has been the case since the release of OS X.

Well, I ended up purchasing a Epson Stylus CX6000. It doesn't have the network capabilities that I wanted, but for the money it's pretty nice. I was getting a error when I added the printer, specifically it was "Error -9672". I checked Epson's web site for new drivers, but nope. So I just logged in as the first user (I guess kinda like root in Linux) and then installed the drivers and it worked. Got me...., it prompted me for the root login / password under my normal login. Anyways, I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions / help!

Message-ID: <1fe740ba0702241211o7331efe4kf8377cf0f927a6ed@mail.gmail.com> Once upon a time, a long, LONG time ago a week ago someone gave me a Cube, which had a DVD drive so I could finally get around to "Going X", which meant using the eMac 2004 DVD with 10.3.3 & doing the updates. 9.2.2 connects & will do things on the net. X now 10.3.9 will connect but won't do anything ither than dotted quads rather than regular net addresses. I've done everything my ISP seems to know, which is that they have some nature of "X" set up page, "Did you read the page? Did you do everything on the page? Did you redo everything on the page from the start to make sure (about 12 times now)? Then you MUST be online!" I think their page http://www.cowboy.net/support/ppp-setup/macintosh/pppmanualx/index.html is from 10.2 or before era & they've NO ONE there who seems to have used a Mac since grade school except when the other computers in the campus labs were full & they had to. Despite what the Apple site says, I'm in a state where just about the ONLY "Apple pressence" anymore IS limited to things iPod, & it seems there's MAYBE one Mac users group still around about 150 miles away & a smattering of, well, "Mac Fanatics" who seem to have spent WAY to much time mastering their iBong skills & who seem to all be dealing in scrap metal & salvage as their main line of work! "Here, let me introduce the two of you: head, wall, wall, head." I've compared Win & generic notes as well as setup for MOS 9, & I'm sort of at: "Well I WOULD compare the Mac set up instructions with another ISP, IF I could find any!" and what to me seems to be rather "the LAST" resort of; "Have I REALLY found some sort of a REAL USE for AOL since they stopped senting me free floppy disks back in the 90's and started sending me the skeet targets & coasters instead?"

Have you fully updated the iMac (I seem to recall that some of the patches for 10.4.x were for improved USB support). -- Regards, Mark (}-: +61 (0)4 1927 7198 Skype / AIM / iChat: gibsonm1 ON MODERNISM Q: How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
