Fwd: HP LaserJet 5MP printer and OS X 10.6.2
-- I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, but can't get my LaserJet 5MP printer to work. I've looked in the SL printer list, and the 5MP driver is included, but I can't see how to make it appear in the System Preferences/ Print Fax box. The printer is connected into one of the ports on my Belkin router, I notice you can't connect a printer via AppleTalk on 10.6, but my connection isn't via Appletalk, surely? Any advice much appreciated.

I think your Belkin Router's IP Address is 192.168.2.1 and any computers you have connecting will be in the range 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.xx Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / 4GB / 800MHz / 500GB OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: HP LaserJet 5MP printer and OS X 10.6.2
Hi Ronnie -- -- Thanks for the suggestions, I've got a little further, but no success yet. I can open up the Belkin Advanced Setup/ LAN/ DHCP Clients List , this has a table with 3 IP Address entries, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.4, the last one points to Host Name 'Macintosh-2' and has MAC Address 00-1B-63-AC-9A-F8. This is my old G4 iMac. There was a fourth entry, 10.1.1.5, which my son had set up to talk to his iPhone, but this disappeared when I accidentally pressed 'Release'. -- There is a 'New' button which would allow me to try and put the printer in 10.1.1.5, but I don't know what to put in MAC Address, and the settings won't save without something there. A little more help, please?

Airport Extreme SSID
Hi all WAMUGgers Is the Airport Extreme's Airport ID the same as its SSID? I'm trying to tune in a wireless LG Blueray player which asks for it to be entered manually and I can't get the connection to work. Alternatively it asks me to press the button on the wireless router to ID it manually but the only button on the Airport is the reset button. Then it asks me to say whether it's WPA - WPA2. I've reset the Airport to WPA2 Personal from WPA/WPA2 Personal, but I'm not sure if it will work. As I must key in every digit manually on the LG, I don't want to do this too many times.

Re: Airport Extreme SSID
Yes the SSID could be Airportus Extremus. Or Galadriel, or Dark Knight, or Electron Transfer Device. Or given it is the device that knows all the information in the network and controls it, perhaps your wife's name would be appropriate. :-) Numbers such as 00:19:E3:33:3D:7C are also called MAC addresses and used to identify a specific device.

Strange Design Based Problem with CS3 and images chang ing colour when creating PDFs.
Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone can help, but I'm using Indesign CS3 on an iMac running OS 10.5 and having some weird issues with creating a PDF from a file. If anyone has seen it before I'd love to know what causes it, especially since it shows differently on both Macs. It's an InDesign file, and the images are laced in as black TIFs and then coloured yellow in InDesign, but when I create the PDF they appear cyan on screen. Well, on this Mac they both appear cyan (there are 2), on another Mac only one appears cyan and the other still looks yellow. On a digital printout they print yellow. The colour separations in the PDF show them as being changed to cyan though, so I don't even know why the laser printer is printing it yellow. On a completely unrelated question, does anyone know if it it's possible to send files and sync the iPhone to a Mac with blue tooth? I had a look online and found lots of information saying it couldn't be done, I'm not sure if there are any apps been released to allow it happen, or something I didn't know. I just bough an iPhone yesterday and expected it to work with my Mac as well as my Sony Ericsson only to find out it doesn't!

Re: Strange Design Based Problem with CS3 and images changing colour when creating PDFs.
Hi Kelly, Answering your question about the iPhone Bluetooth capabilities. Bluetooth can only be used to connect headsets and hands free kits. No data transfer of any kind. The iPhone's bluetooth is limited at the moment to bluetooth headsets and car kits Even if you would succeed in pairing it you cannot transfer any type of files from it. I feel Apple have gone this route as they are determined to keep the iPhone as secure as they possibly can. Once you give people the option to lay their phones wide open by say allowing a phone to be Always visible and connectable as many other phones do, then you're asking for the onslaught of phone viruses and trojans.

I can make a rule which has incoming and outgoing addresses, but it doesn't automatically work when sending mail (although I can select MessageApply Rules to my Sent folder and the mail is dealt with appropriately.

Re: Strange Design Based Problem with CS3 and images changing colour when creating PDFs.
Hi James, It's definitely coloured CMYK. I got around it by colouring it in Photoshop rather than InDesign, but I was just wondering why it happens, spot colours I need to do in InDesign so I want to sort it out eventually! When I change it to magenta in InDesign they PDF as magenta, but still show up on one of the Macs a cyan! It's rather strange.

Re: Mail Rules Query
Hi Andrew, This has always bugged me about Mail Rules. Like you I have had to select the sent message Apply Rules for it to move into the correct Mailbox. The only workaround I found is by using Smart Mailboxes. Create a Smart Mailbox for each of the sorting rules you have, and then add to each SM the rule that the SM includes sent messages for those people/subjects. If I find any Script or Utility that will do the job for us, I'll let you know. There is MailTags http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html, but I have not checked it out as yet to see exactly what it can do.

What version of Apple Mail are you using Regarding large amounts of mail, it depends a bit on whether you're using IMAP or POP3. There's really a world of difference between the two. I manage about 10 GB of mail with Apple Mail, using IMAP. Entourage and most versions of Outlook are fatally flawed above 2 GB, Apple Mail has a different design which does not have this limitation.

I know of Skype screen share, however it seems that Skype is limited to sharing your screen with only one other party, besides I've found Skype screen share to be lacking when it comes to overall performance and transmission delays of the screen activity.

Re: mobile me
Regarding Tim's reply : What means MX Record of domain delegation? It means that trying to host your domain at MobileMe is going to be a valuable learning experience!! - unless that is you can your domain name registrar to make the changes for you. Mine is Melbourne IT and they wouldn't do it for me. Put very simply, and this is the extent of my understanding, that when someone types in www.wamug.org.au the browser goes and searches for the name www.wamug.org.au in the big internet cohuna's little black book and alongside that name is the IP address of the actual server that is hosting that domain name. Then the browser says thank you to the big internet cohuna, and goes and finds that particular server machine and gets the information to display to you. There are a couple of components to the domain name - the viewable web address, and the email addresses associated with that domain name. I may not be correct, but the CNAME is the web address and the MX record is the mail side of things. Entering your domain name at MobileMe is only one part of the story and AFAIK only sets up their servers ready to accept your domain name and serve your domain pages correctly. There are people in ISP and domain registration companies that make these changes all the time and really know what they are doing. I don't. I was told I needed to make the changes myself, so used a website called www.zonedit - link is in my initial posting. I suggest you go there. Create an account and read their help files. I will be a steep learning curve, but heck, I managed it so it is not totally impossible. :-) Hope that helps, and that other more experienced people will guide you much better than I have.
