A USB printer mystery

2011-08-05 Thread Severin Crisp
I have recently moved from a G5 to an iMac, which is a brilliant machine. A bit of sorting out with my transferred items but now more or less sorted. One odd quirk remains. I have an Epson R2880 printer and after the move over I duly downloaded the Snow Leopard driver which is different from

Hi Robert, Don't panic, I think you are in a reasonably good position. I just want to confirm where you stand. The way I read it, you have the following 1) A fully operational OS X 10.7 Lion install on your main hard drive 2) A backup of your old system on an external drive 3) A non-functionin

OK Robert. Give me a bit of time to do some trials I will post back. Options that spring to mind are running disk repair on the 10.6 partition from the 10.6 DVD. Or alternatively putting the iMac in target disk mode and affecting the repair from a MacBook. Or perhaps even installing Snow Leopar

You could just try booting off the 10.6 DVD and then reinstall 10.6 onto the 10.6 partition you made. Once reinstalled, you should then have the option of booting to the Lion (10.7) or Snow Leopard (10.6) partitions. It will only reinstall the operating system and keep everything else in tact. Onc
