Comment on Enable Airprint for ALL your shared printers by Gerald Buckley

Not sure why that would be. Could be the MacOS and iOS have each versioned enough since original post for critical components to have changed to a breaking point.

Hi Gerald, I tried your script and followed step by step
but it did not seem to work. My iPad (iOS 6.0.1) did not pick up
any AirPrint printers..

Quentin, I think I’d just try it. My instructions are specifically for a properly partitioned hard drive. I do know some versions of MP3 players are NOT suitable to serve as startup volumes. DISCLAIMER: Your results may vary.

@bluefeatherweb & Debasis – Sorry. So far as I know this is a Mac-only app.

On the ebook publishing side of things… Didn’t Apple issue a means to create and publish your EPUB? (I’ll have to look into that one)

Comment on (How To) STOP High Gasoline Prices by pjm781

pjm781 — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:30:49 +0000

It’s quite simple
We boycott Exxon Mobil for the month of May. If we could drop their business by as little as 20 or 30% they would be forced to lower prices. The more we tank their business the faster it will happen. Then all the other gas dealers would have to follow and suddenly we’d have a gas price war! A race to the bottom – caused by we the consumers. Pass it on!!! Lets do it

Comment on When School Boards Fail by Gerald Buckley

Gerald Buckley — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 13:12:38 +0000

aRdent, It’s not something the parents took lightly. There are lots of very good people on those boards. I know a few of them and happen to like them a lot. They do a fine service to the community all said and done. No dispute there. It’s the thought that willful misconduct was going to be allowed to stand. Yes, we could have ignored it and sent a certain kind of message to these and future board members. Or, we could file writs and let the courts decide. Sending a whole other type of message. It could be the AG and/or the grand jury determine the boards will stand as elected. Whatever the determination, we’ll abide by it and feel good knowing we took the high road.

Well done. Read about this is in the daily paper and heartily applaud this little-known recourse. Thankfully there is more than one way to get elected “representatives” to follow their oath of office, or suffer the consequences.

Yes sir, that did the trick! So simple even I could do it. FYI it works on a wireless network printer not connected to ANY Mac (WiFi enabled free-standing MAC Address Canon MP-620 connected to wireless network). Trust me. It’s true. I did it. Followed the instructions on both MacBook Pros on the network, each with their own USB connected printers, one of which is a Samsung CLP-300 color laser printer, and now ALL printers show up for choosing. They ALL print, too. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
No messing with the Terminal or complicated coding syntax.
Clean, EASY, and it works!!!

Jimmie – As I’ve maintained from day one… my aim is not to encourage use of dmg files outside of the context it was offered in… mounting and installing a specific pre-release image which did NOT come with adequate instructions. Whether it works under certain circumstances is not mine to address. You might call Apple tech support and see what they have to offer you. ~Gerald

Hello there

So, I have a PowerBook G4, and a Western Digital HD. I have been following all the outlined steps, and it is not working for me. I have a leopard .dmg, and when I put it on the external HD, all it does is act like the disk (shows the 4 folders), but it will not let me boot into it.

Please help

My CD drive is stuck, so I made a .dmg of 10.5 on my iMac and put it on my Powerbook. For whatever reason, it does not seem to want to discover my firewire-connected external HD’s

Can I just use my U2 iPod? Also, can I just run the disk image and try and boot it that way?

Hey i see i’m a bit late to this party but, i’m almost at wits end with this OS X 10.5 install. I have my DMG burned to a DL DVD and the installer mounts ands shows up on my desktop, i click install, it asks me to restart the Mac. It restarts… but then just hangs on a black screen, the fan and all the startup sounds start, but it just wont boot from the DVD. I hold C on the keyboard… NOTHING! it’s kinda kicking my butt. I still have the DMG. IS it possible to just to make a partition on the main HDD to install this, or would i need 3 partitions? one that already has tiger on it and 2 blank ones? thanks any help is appreciated
