Re: HP printer doesn't print through Classic

Or could I deactivate the HP by annointing the Epson the OSX default again? Sorry so slow, but what would you do to deactivate the HP in OSX? It's been a while, and I don't have that particular printer handy with me now, but I think you'll have to remove the printer from Print Center, then re-add when you want to print from OS X. A quick workaround is to print to a PDF from your OS X apps, then print the resultant PDF using your OS 9 driver, though that's not something you'd probably want to rely on for everyday use. A similar issue, I've found, occurs when using the printer from multiple accounts using Fast User Switching in Panther. What happens is that more than one printer daemon becomes active, and they conflict with each other, resulting in no communication between the computer and the printer. The solution there is to drop to a command line, find the errant process and kill it. (Use 'ps -aux | grep HP' to find the PID, then 'kill PID' or something similar). That's worked for me every time with that particular problem. Perhaps a derivative of this will work in your case. I no longer rely on Classic, so that part's a non-issue for me now. Good luck! -- P.

Wallstreet II screen blur when waking from sleep, OS 9.2
Recently bought another Wallstreet II to replace the one that I had been using (which was having problems). New one works perfectly except for one thing: when it is put to sleep for more than 30 minutes or so, the screen becomes a fuzzy mess when it is woken up. If you wake it up in less than 30 minutes (or so), it doesn't become fuzzy. Also, the screen, cursor, disk, etc. all still work when the screen is being weird, it just looks bad. A restart cures the problem every time. There is no problem if I shut it down instead of putting it to sleep. I have two _new_ apple batteries in it pretty much all of the time and it has a newish PRAM battery, too. The OS is 9.2.2 and it has about 375MB of RAM (I know that's not the correct number, I just forget at the moment). My question is this: Does this sound like a software issue? If not, I have a complete second Wallstreet II that I can pull parts from. What hardware device might cause such an anomaly? -- Matthew D.

Re: 9.2.2 boot doesn't mount OS X volume
Date: Sat, 6 Mar 2004 17:04:33 -0800 From: Jonathan R. Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 9.2.2 boot doesn't mount OS X volume Standard Apology: I checked the database and didn't see any articles addressing this, so excuse this repeat if it is one. Equip: Lombard (G3 333 PB) 384MB/40GB, partitions: OS 10.2.8 (25GB) , OS 9.2.2 (7GB), non-bootable (6GB). Problem: When I boot in 9.2.2, at startup I get a message suggesting I initialize an unreadable volume which turns out to be the OSX volume. I click no of course, but that leaves me stranded in OS 9.2.2 without a way to re-boot in OSX because, since it couldn't be mounted, it is not an option in the Startup Disk control panel. I tried a bunch of stuff to find a way to mount the sucker, but failed on everything. Of course, booting from the OSX disk doesn't help, because it doesn't allow you access to the Startup Disk control panel, and doesn't just boot a base system; it boots the install system. I finally have had to choose netboot in the Startup Disk control panel from 9.2.2, which doesn't find a server after a few minutes, and then boots the newest system it can find on local volumes. Anybody know what's going on here? I'm tired of this issue. Thanks, -jra Sounds like when you initialized/partitioned the drive the OS9 drivers weren't installed on the OSX volume. It's a check box during the partition process. You may have to wipe/re-initialize that partition in order to get the drivers enabled for OS9. --- JSH TiBook -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: rebuilding batteries

Dang it, I really want to hack Battery Reset to run on Pismo, it's gotta be possible! I have both Lombard and Pismo and so know how very bloody useful is this utility. I've been able to recover several previously unusable batteries, using Lombard of course. If I'd had only Pismo I'd have been SOL. I realize this isn't a hacker/programmer forum, so does anyone have any ideas where can I go to ask for the help I need to do this hack? I'll need help from someone with MacsBug and 68K-code experience (I _think_ BR2 is written in 68K-code.)

Re: rebuilding batteries
Dang it, I really want to hack Battery Reset to run on Pismo, it's gotta be possible! Has anyone just tried changing the gestalt? Or are the Lombard and Pismo Mach gestalt the same (410 for New World, I think)? Otherwise, you might try playing around with GestLab to find differences between the gestalts for the Lombard and Pismo. Perhaps something will stick out (bclk maybe?) that is different between the two.

Re: 9.2.2 boot doesn't mount OS X volume
It sounds like you didn't add the OS9 drivers when you partitioned the drive. The only way I know how to resolve this is back up, wipe the drive, and repartion the drive with the OS9 drivers.

importing analog footage into Final Cut
There are ways to get around the DVstream/DV gap. The best way for me to explain this is by my technique in Final Cut Pro, which should be transferable to Final Cut Express...I hope. If you can get your source into firewire converter, or a camera that allows pass through than you should have no problem at all in Final Cut. First thing first hook up your source to your digital camera, and your digital camera to your computer. now when you play the source double check to see that it is playing into your camera if it is than you are in luck. Now bear with me because not all cameras allow pass through and some need to be set up via their menu to be able to allow pass through via firewire. *If you can get imovie to do it than you can get final cut to do it.* now press command 8, or go to the log and capture menu in final cut. now if you go to try and capture this footage now final cut will not recognize it..you need to click uncontrollable device as your source, it should be set as firewire ntsc right now. this menu will be in your upper right corner of your capture window just set it to uncontrollable device.. Now press play on your source deck and see if you are getting anything. sometimes you have to mess with it a bit, but this will get video into final cut. Now press capture now and press play on the source deck and Final Cut will begin to capture your footage, press esc when you are done or let it capture up until your capture time limit is reached which is set to 30 minutes by default. what is going on here is an issue with time code. Final cut reads the time code of your dv tape and captures it by using that to control the deck. That is why you can do batch captures in Final Cut while you cannot in Imovie. When you use capture now with uncontrollable device selected you are just capturing the stream like in imovie and final cut goes ahead generates time code for the footage as you capture it.

Re: importing analog footage into Final Cut
I have used used the Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge to successfully import analog video (from a VHS tape) into iMovie. After cutting the scenes together, I was able to output the video to analog video (taped on my home VHS recorder because I don't have a DV recorder) and also creat a quicktime movie of the whole thing. It was easy to use and cheaper than buying a DV cam. It looks like Pinnacle has discontinued making them, but there are still some on ebay.
