I am a new Mac user, but have old printer and wasn't warned that our 2400W wouldn't work with Mac - we may have rethought the purchase; however, having been a "geek" before my retirement, I figured out how to do this with all your help. We were just about ready to go buy a new printer and resent it terribly. So I figure I'm not so old yet even though I just had my 65th birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18469850.post-42865780700380273292009-10-10T13:46:12.840+00:002009-10-10T13:46:12.840+00:00Hi All,

That was when it said that the printer was not properly installed.<BR/><BR/>Earlier, when I again tried to print something, there was a small exclamation mark next to the 2400W in the printer listing.<BR/><BR/>Then I tried again, and this time it seemed to work and no pop-up appeared. Except the printer wouldn't print.<BR/><BR/>When I went to System Preferences and clicked on "Print & Fax", I see the 2400W listed. I can see the print job in the print queue, but it does not print.<BR/><BR/>If you could give some pointers where I went wrong, I would appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>StephenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18469850.post-66613890923844600892008-03-20T12:58:00.000+00:002008-03-20T12:58:00.000+00:00PS Just to confirm the url is http://sourceforge.n...PS Just to confirm the url is http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108751&package_id=117406&release_id=364131<BR/><BR/>The uni.dmg is the Universal (Intel and PPC version)<BR/>The .dmg is just PPC version only.Steven Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182540675162277186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18469850.post-80804022822295089122008-03-20T12:53:00.000+00:002008-03-20T12:53:00.000+00:00StephenYou only need to download and install one o...Stephen<BR/><BR/>You only need to download and install one of the .dmg files, the rest are for Windows and Linux.<BR/><BR/>If you have a Mac with an Intel chip then download and install the universal one; f you are using a G3/G4 or G5 you need the other one.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.<BR/>SteveSteven Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182540675162277186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18469850.post-2990124339376498822008-03-20T11:07:00.000+00:002008-03-20T11:07:00.000+00:00Hi John,My name is Stephen, and I need help with i...Hi John,<BR/><BR/>My name is Stephen, and I need help with installation of 2400W with Mac.<BR/><BR/>I bought my son a Macbook recently for school, and would like to setup the Konica Minolta 2400W to work with it. I downloaded the 5 files from Sourceforge.net tried to install in the Macbook.<BR/><BR/>The 2 *.dmg files were simple enough. However, I don’t what to do with the *.rpm files.<BR/><BR/>Also, there was a *.gz file that I uncompressed, but I don’t know what to do with the files inside.<BR/><BR/>I am a long-time Windows guy, and don’t really know my way around Mac very well yet. Hope you could give me some pointers. Thanks!!!<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>Stephen Tan<BR/>Singapore<BR/>stephen@starfire.com.sgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18469850.post-41488909472579186192008-01-12T08:31:00.000+00:002008-01-12T08:31:00.000+00:00Thank you New Beltane - after 20 years of MS Windo...Thank you New Beltane - after 20 years of MS Windows, I decided to try Apple once again (after cutting teeth on Apple II) only to realise that my Magicolor 2400W printer did not have a driver for Mac. I thought it was a showstopper but your post gave me heart and after searching the web and downloading the driver from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108751 (thank you all open source driver builders), I finally have it working. As a competent windows user, this was not all that easy as I had to find out where the downloads were going and how to use File Finder. And then download and install Foo and Ghost before finally installing the printer driver. Anyway I know have it working in b&w - hopefully colour will come after a reboot.<BR/>Thanks again.
