Re: Feeling very stupid about printer setup...
>From a fellow Marylander: I recently went through this with a Brother HL-2270DW and MY "new" Verizon FiOS router [Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I] as well. What worked for me was: 1) Download the Networking Manual from Brother for detailed instructions; 2) Do a complete reset of the printer to factory settings per said instructions: a Turn off the machine. b Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in. c Hold down Go as you turn on the power switch. Keep Go pressed down until all the LEDs light up, and then the Ready LED turns off. d Release Go. Make sure that all the LEDs turn off. e Press Go six times. Make sure that all the LEDs light up to indicate the print server has been reset to its factory default settings. The machine will restart. Then either 3a) use the Web Based Management (browser) method to configure the printer OR 3b) Download the BRAdmin Light for Mac and use it via a USB 2 connection to configure the printer. As I recall, I used method 3b above to finally get things working (I was also connecting to a couple of Win7Pro PCs as well, and this got everything going).

Can that be done with the Library, System, Users folders ? You anticipated my next question very nicely, Walter. Mail can at least be exported/imported more or less successfully (although it doesn't really give you an exact replica of the source tree structure, I believe). What about merging iTunes and bringing over users? Migration Assistant is/was supposed to know how to do that, but I'm not sure if it has the selectivity to allow the amount of picking and choosing I would like. Finally, what about users with the same name? I know that since Mac OS uses the Unix scheme of totally unique ID generation for each user instance, it would seem that I shouldn't have any users on the target with the same names as those on the source system. Also, I would like to avoid migrating applications en masse and would rather do that manually. And thanks again, everyone, for all the excellent advice. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Moving an eMac from 10.2.8 to 10.4.11
Hi, all, I have a somewhat esoteric problem and need some advice on how to do handle it. I'm still using a 1GHz/1Gbyte PPC eMac running Mac OS 10.2.8 for much of my work and now need to move to 10.4.11 to accommodate a new application that requires it. The problem arises thus: some time ago I bought and installed 10.4 on an external Firewire drive and have been booting and using it for the occasional applications that required 10.4. Now I need to merge the large amount of 10.2.8 data - and applications - that I've accumulated with the 10.4.11 system into a single system. Moving the data (mostly in Documents) is relatively straightforward, and Mail seems to know how to export/import mailboxes in a usable way also. What I would like to avoid is reinstalling lots of applications and their associated files (e.g. iTunes and iPhoto). The tools at hand: Carbon Copy Cloner, Migration Assistant (10.4 version), and of course Finder. Other resources: several external Firewire volumes that can be used as scratch volumes for building copying systems to and from. Both systems (10.2.8 and 10.4.11) are/will be completely backed up to respective backup volumes before any potentially dangerous merge operations (three cheers for CCC!). So, experts, how would you proceed?
