Re: Printing
Hi Severin, Have you checked the Print Queue when the printing stops after printing 6 jobs? Do you have to 'Print Queue' application in the Dock? If not: Open Print Queue in System Preferences Printers Scanners Then Right-Click or Control-click the Print Queue application's Dock icon from the short cut menu choose - Options keep in Dock Then select all the documents you wish to print Have the Print Queue application Open Then hit Print and watch the current status of the printer and currently queued print jobs See if after the 6 doc. prints does the Print Queue then show Resume (meaning the print jobs have paused) but all the still to be printed documents are showing? If so try hitting Resume to see if it then continues with more of the queued print jobs.

Re: Istat Menus v 3
Here's an attempt to list the actions I've taken to get iStat Menus 3.27 to run - I hope one of you might shed some light on where I've gone wrong?

Re: Istat Menus v 3
Hi James, I can’t remember if you gave a reason why you originally deleted iStat Menus 4.22 and then tried to install iStat Menus v3.2.7? Are you sure the iStatMenus v3.2.7 installer is not corrupted. I didn’t think this version was still available to download. The current versions of iStat Menus are 5.03 OS X 10.8+ required - or you can download iStat Menus 4.22 My comments in Situ below On 20 Dec 2014, at 5:57 pm, James I Fraser jifra...@southcom.com.au wrote: Here's an attempt to list the actions I've taken to get iStat Menus 3.27 to run - I hope one of you might shed some light on where I've gone wrong?
