Got it. Thanks for the link to the Official driver. Worked fine on the newest Leopard. Printer did not print initially. Thank you to macbreaktech from last January. Hold down the printer green button to get the printer's ip address. It was one digit off of the address that the computer was finding on the Linksys wifi. Now it works, through my linksys wifi, no wires. Thank you. Never mind. Got it. Thanks for the link to the Official driver. Worked fine on the newest Leopard. Printer did not print initially.

I have followed all the instructions given and have successfully downloaded the driver and it works. I selected the 250 sheet feeder after adding the new printer, as suggested, and am trying to make special setups for printing from the 1320c but it persistes in printing from the manual feed and in the print dialog box under Printer Features the option to use Auto or 250 sheet tray are grayed out and I cannot select them.

]]> Comment on the underrated Airport Express by Gutenberg vs epson drivers http://macbreaktech.com/old/73/the-underrated-airport-express/comment-page-1/#comment-16775 Gutenberg vs epson drivers Fri, 22 May 2009 04:29:42 +0000 http://macbreaktech.com/?p=73#comment-16775 In my experience the Gutenberg drivers print out slightly faded. The "gimp" ones seem to work better with my Epson 1400. That said, it's still a far cry from the quality and control I get with the authentic Epson Drivers. Personally, I find it offensive that Apple claims this will work with "any usb printer" on their sales page, but happily passes your problems along to the printer manufacturers on their support page. I wouldn't be upset if they said it "may not work with all printers" and gave a me a list of printers it will work with.... but.... they don't. The seem to intentionally mislead us. I'm beginning to hate apple. In my experience the Gutenberg drivers print out slightly faded. The “gimp” ones seem to work better with my Epson 1400.

Send TCP 443 and UDP 4500, 4900 to the name or IP of the computer with back to my mac... don't see why that wouldn't work. Unless you had more than one Mac on your network using backto my mac... then ya need a newer router with NAT-PMP or UPnP.

]]> Comment on CocoaTech PathFinder as an alternative Finder by rodolfo lopez http://macbreaktech.com/old/25/cocoatech-pathfinder-as-an-alternative-finder/comment-page-1/#comment-15316 rodolfo lopez Mon, 23 Feb 2009 07:10:26 +0000 http://macbreaktech.com/25/cocoatech-pathfinder-as-an-alternative-finder/#comment-15316 agreed.... I really can't conceive my work session without Path Finder. My work involves file operations between many systems (that I mount with a ssh-mount, another must for me). Thanks to the shelf, the dropbox and the tabs I publish to remote servers, move files around etc etc in a way I could only dream before PF. It outstands Finder so heavily that Finder looks like a joke. And while Finder has literally no customization options, Path Finder not only delivers an absolute insane amount of them, but they are actually useful. Believe it or not, I haven't upgraded to Leopard, and Path Finder is pretty much the reason. The ultra-fast and tiny Tiger coupled with Path Finder leaves nothing to be desired from the fatty Leopard. It's funny how big companies like Apple and Microsoft patent silly stuff like scrollbars, while PF has bright ideas like the dropbox, that I won't be surprised if they get silently stolen by Apple. Keep up the excellent work CocoaTech guys. I am in love with your program. agreed…. I really can’t conceive my work session without Path Finder.

Whatever format I play, the network output is constant, from ALC to ultra-compressed MP3. I believe that iTunes sends audio to the airport express uncompressed.
