Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

Hello, I am asking this for a friend of mine who is running Office Mac 2004 on a G5 with 10.6.2 and needing some help with printing of text boxes and shadow. She prints to an HP 8000 laser. The printer is an older A3 colour that duplexes and very valuable for her business - but it just

Re: Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

Hi Tim, Not sure about the HP 8000 laser, but I have just tried creating a text box with shadow on Word 2008 (Mac) which printed OK on a Brother HL-1430. Whether it is the HP driver which is the problem I am not sure, and I assume she has the latest driver on her Mac. The best way would be for

Re: Entourage fun

Hi, Just adding my experiences I am running a couple of Mac Airs in and Exchange 2007 environment using Entourage. Most of the issues have occurred either after an Office Upgrade (unauthorised by the users Computer Wiz son-in-law) and an Exchange 2007 Service Pack upgrade (evil things to

Re: Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

All, Thanks for the tips so far. Sally has provided me with two documents, her original Word file showing a nicely set up shadow box, and a PDF of the same document showing a yukky text box with shadow of the text inside the text box. I have created a PDF accessible for viewing at

Re: Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

Hi Tim, Trying your printer on Sally's machine would be the way to go, it should then sort out if it is her operating system or her G5. One thing Sally could try is to re-install OS X 10.6 from the OS X 10.6 Install Disc, (she won't loose anything, re-installing OS X 10.6 does an 'Archive

Cleaning question

Hi Guys, I have a white ibook G4 and the keys and surrounds are quite grubby. What would you recommend to clean surface without removing the lettering on the keys or discolouring the surface further? Smiles and thanks Aurora -- ŒLying can never save us from another lie.¹ Vaclav Havel. --

I am puzzled at 10.6.2 on a G5 - I thought Snow Leopard required an Intel Mac? Severin Crisp On 07/03/2010, at 10:26 AM, Tim Law wrote: All, Thanks for the tips so far. Sally has provided me with two documents, her original Word file showing a nicely set up shadow box, and a PDF of

Hi Severin, The Mac Pro G5 is Intel: http://www.apple.com/macpro/specs.html • 8-core: Two 2.26GHz, 2.66GHz, or 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors • Quad-core: One 2.66GHz, 2.93GHz, or 3.33GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3500 series processor Cheers, Ronni On

Re: Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

Thanks Ronni, I thought the G5 bit referred only to PPC and was not used on the Intel MacPros Severin On 07/03/2010, at 3:06 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Severin, The Mac Pro G5 is Intel: http://www.apple.com/macpro/specs.html • 8-core: Two 2.26GHz, 2.66GHz, or 2.93GHz Quad-Core

Yes, I know what you mean Severin. It always confuses me when people say they have a G5, it can mean an iMac G5, a Power Mac G5, a Mac Pro, any Apple G5 computer. It makes life a little difficult if you are trying to give support ... Cheers, Ronni On 07/03/2010, at 3:15 PM, Severin Crisp

Re: Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

Hi Tim, Another thought, sometimes the problems are not as simple as: it is either: A Word problem A printer problem A computer/OS problem etc. - sometimes it is how a specific combination reacts. From your postings: On Sally's machine: - The text box looks fine in Word 2004 - a print from

Re: Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

Hi Severin (and Ronni) You are correct, the G5 was a PPC processor. There was an iMac G5 and a PPC PowerMac G5. Intel didn't make a G5, so the MacPro wasn't a G5. (Sorry to correct Ronni) :o) And yes 10.6.x requires Intel only. 10.5 was the last OS that would work on a PPC machine (but killed

Re: Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

OOOPS! Resend after seeing Ronni's post re the Intel G5 - Like Severin, I thought the G5 refered to the processor! So ignore my previous comment re 10.5.8! Confused of Albany ;) Hi Tim, Another thought, sometimes the problems are not as simple as: it is either: A Word problem A printer
