Latest printer drivers from Canon on all computers

If I print from the XP box, nothing comes out of the printer.

I have a g4 400 that was upped to a 1.6 aftermarket. I need to boot
in
OS9 and somewhere along the line it stopped booting in 9 all
together.

Can I removed seemingly unneeded receipt packages from
/Library/Receipts?  For example, can I delete the receipts:
    SecUpd2005-006Ti.pkg
    SecUpd2005-007Ti.pkg

Please redirect me if there's a better place to post this. All I need is
a simple applescript to open all the files in a specific folder. That's
it. The contents of the folder change regularly, but are all opened by
the same app. Thanks!

I'm not very familiar with Apple's Mail.app; I've been using Entourage
for years. I am temporarily forced to use Mail on a new MB Pro because
I am short one MS Office Mac license (have only six licenses, need
seven).

Can any of you Mac users help ?
I just bought a Casio CTK-710 and installed the driver for XP.
It installed and found the Casio with no problem.
Everytime I turn the Casio on XP recognizes the unit perfectly.

I no longer program, but I have several old ResEdit files from the 80s
& 90s that I'd like to recover PICTs, ICONs, SNDs, and TEXTs from.
What tools could I use to do this under Leopard? Also, I use a G5;
will there be any problems with the above formats on an Intel machine

So i recently discovered ( this is probably illegal ) that i can go to
the library, check out CD's and load them / Save them on my Mac...
Very often however, the quality will be really awful and they'll cease
up half way through, and i couldn't discover a way to tell iTunes to

Ok so I'm getting ready to sell one of our Power Mac G5 towers. In
preparation, I did a 7-pass erase of the hard drive, and am going to
install a fresh, clean copy of Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, on it.
The problem is the installer keeps stalling out!  If I look at the

Back in the day, when System 7 was new, there were numerous sources for
downloadable alert sounds for Mac.  Later, as sound blaster on PC gave
those wanna-be's the same capability, there were sources for wave sounds
of similar nature.

I have a CompUSA external Firewire 400 enclosure that has issues.
The drive is set to master, it mounts in OS X Panther and OS 9.2.2 on my
Dual USB iBook but does not appear on my G4 Sawtooth in either OSX Tiger
or 9.2.2. Answers are appreciated. Thanks.

I have an 867 MHz single processor G4 running OS 10.2.8.
I periodically partially disassemble my Kensington Turbo Mouse Pro
trackball to clean the rollers and remove lint.
Well, last night I had to connect and reconnect the trackball multiple

I'm having a problem with my 1581. I can load and list the directory
of a disk and everything is fine. When I try a second disk, listing
the directory shows the directory of the first disk. I have to turn
the 1581(or C64) off and back on to reset the 1581 before I can load

The following is from roughlydrafted.com:
Apple is marketing the idea of there being ³no new features² for Snow
Leopard and instead promising an overall improvement in how Mac OS X
works under the hood, thanks to a diligent code optimization and

As you can see I use Newsreader.com. I've always been happy with them. But
lately   all downloads have slowed to less than 300 kbps. Today in fact
just over 100 kbps. But, only with this newsreader. When I download updates
from Apple or something from Tucows etc average is 1.2 to 1 ...
