Lisa and Robin – sorry I haven’t experienced the issue about having to register. The printer I had at the time – an Epson R220 worked as expected. I now have an Epson 1400, and that has 10.6.x support available for it, apart from I currently use it on my Mac OS X 10.5.8 machine.

Roger, thanks for the info. I am was not able to find my epson printer utility info either. I am having the same problems Robin is having, my computer wants me to register my printer. Do you know how I can get around that? I registered it years ago, but not sure what steps I should take…

Thanks for the printer utility info, Roger – sadly when I open it I get a message saying “this printer is not registered” – it’s an old C61 I have moved to my mother’s place, and I have no idea how to register it anyway, at the moment. I can’t see my ink or clean my heads! Grrr.

I plan to keep one computer running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard for a while, so that will take care of it for me, but eventually I guess it’s going to need to be either a new printer, or some type of print server box. HP make JetDirect boxes that will do this. I have 3 brand new genuine HP cartridges yet, so don’t plan on replacing the printer any time soon.

Thank you…. I have a G5-IMac and a very old HP Laserjet 4mp. Turned on print sharing… now I can print from my OS 10.6 computers. Sadly, I have to turn on my G5-IMac but the printer works.

Thank you sooo much for the epson advice. You are a champion.

If only apple released something like this every time they upgrade an OS.

Every time i upgrade i run into some sort of trouble.

I’ve been running my sites on Mac OS X with PHP and MySQL since soon after Mac OS X came out, and so have always just continued to try and do so.

I did look at MAMP some time ago as a possible alternative, but decided against it, although the reasons are now lost in the haze of memory – maybe it was something to do with Virtual Hosts (I have 35 entries in my vhosts file) or for some other reason. But I remember that at least at that time I determined that it wasn’t going to work for me.

Having just moved over from the Dark Side (Win PC), I’m just going through this myself… I haven’t tried yet but wouldn’t it just have been easier to install MAMP?
