Printing inquiry
Hi there: Is there a consensus on ink? I have two ink-jets, a Canon Pixma iP6220D and an HP Photosmart C4400 series (as well as a laser printer), and have been finding it increasingly difficult to get replacement third-party cartridges that work, especially with the Canon. My choices seem to be, in descending order of cost: 1. Branded cartridges 2. Third-party cartridges 3. Refilling myself, by hand As we all know, #1 is very expensive, but of course the manufacturers make their money on the ink, not the machines. #2 is as noted above. Do you-all have recommendations on whether it makes any sense to go to #3, which I have never done, or just suck it up and go to #1? As always, my thanks in advance! *** Bill Spencer in Maryland IMac Core Duo 2.4 ghz/2 g RAM/Snow Leopard IMac Core Duo 1.83 ghz/1 g RAM/Snow Leopard -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: iMac G4 trouble
I can't get the computer to go into Target Disk Mode. It just freezes it also freezes when I try to get it to tell me the avalible system folders.

I plugged it into my iMac 333 and I noticed that the drive was showing up as a 31.3 GB HDD even though it's an 80 GB HDD. After going to ebay and buying a new HDD I found out that the iMac would only boot onto a disk (Debian, Mac OS) with to old HDD and NONE of my computers (iMac 333, 13 MBP, iMac Core Duo) will recognize the new HDD!

Bill I've been lucky, I have a printer that uses the hp 02 series of ink (1 black, 5 individual colors). Cartridge world charges $12.00 ea for color refills (haven't needed black yet). But at least twice I have picked up a batch of colors (NIB) from craigs list. The last batch of 6 cost $20.00. I try to trade off refills and oems to prevent problems from refills. I see adds for left over ink after a printer quits on craigs list often. I thought I wouldn't like the individual cartridges but, the idea that there isn't still 2 other colors in the cartridge when one runs out and going to waste is nice. Another thing is the printer was in a lot from a school auction and it wasn't being used as a network printer even though it has Cat 5 port built in. (HP photosmart c6150 aio). I just found another one for $15.00 at a garage sale. Charles -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: installing linux.
I'm not sure about macs, but when I've installed ubuntu on pcs you put the ubuuntu cd in the drive, boot off the cd drive. Once it boots you should have an install icon on the desktop. Double click that and follow the instructions. imho ubuntu and os x are similar in terms of looks and ease of use.

Re: installing linux.
although this may not be for everyone I got Ubuntu to mail me their live disc and then I just run Ubuntu/Linux from the CD rather then take up hard drive space and the installation hassle.

Re: iMac G3
Just started to use my new iMac G3 and one of the several annoying items is the sound volume that I can only adjust by opening up the Control Panel : Sound. Now that's a real pain in the studio to always have to adjust the playback levels when using midi/audio applications. Is there an application that will place an control in the menu bar to allow adjusting the sound playback levels ?

Re: iMac G3
Which OS are you running? It sounds like you're running OS9, but I'll tell you how to in both 9 and X. In OS9, you can have the sound in the Control Strip. Go to Control Panel - Control Strip and turn on the control strip. I don't have an OS9 machine handy right now, but I believe that the sound should be in there by default. If not, look in the Control Strip and Sound preference and see if there's any option to Show in Control Strip. In OSX, in the Sound preference pane, check the box where it says Show in Menubar. Another handy thing would be to get a newer model of Apple keyboard that has the volume buttons in the upper right hand corner. Any keyboard after about 2001 will have them. Hope that helps! -Elliott On Aug 10, 2010, at 9:46 AM, Walter Sheluk wrote: Just started to use my new iMac G3 and one of the several annoying items is the sound volume that I can only adjust by opening up the Control Panel : Sound.
