is "Classic" then running on your OS X, when u use the officejet or not? *wonder*....

well, it's so, that i:
• Downloaded the Update file yesterday evening from the HP-Homepage. (there was already a matter, that the downloaded file was named: "getsoftware.cgi" so i expected and renamed it to "something.smi" and it let open by DiskImage. After trying around yesterday i also tried: *.dmg and *.img... but nothing differences!

The "HP All-In-One Communication extension" IS in fact a "Classic-Application"!!!

and now the reason, why i don't want the Software order: because i live in switzerland, and in whole europe HP has "NO" support office. I would have to order and let it shipping from the states! Sorry, but i don't pay 100.- again more for something, usually you can get over the internet!!!

and, the most important thing:

I want to use it with USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB USB !
on Mac OS X 10.1.2
:-)

So, is this possible, YES/NO???

Classic doesnt have to be running for me to print. Even though what looks like a classic extension icon has to be running in X.

If you want i could email you the installer i have. it may work better.

but, is it possible, that you stuff the "HP all-in-one Communication extension" (for X) and email it to me?

When installing the HP software. The Director Assistant Program is the one that selects wether your printer is connected via USB or TCP/IP. You do not make the selection in the print center.


BTW HP just released new drivers this week at Macworld and also should be obtainable via www.versiotracker.com

It's just not all that fun, and I'd have to refigure out how to do it. In some applications, you have to actually add a specific resource to it with ResEdit. In others, the resource is there, and it's easy to modify it.

I'd really like to know how to do this, if it's not too much trouble.

You know how when an app is hidden its icon in the dock gets faded? Well say you have a bunch of apps hidden, is there something you can do with all those icons so they arent taking up space in the dock (besides quitting the app)?

Don't have all apps you use in the dock. Create folders where you have aliases to those progs, and drag those folders to dock (in right) - e.g i have net folder, image folder, office folder and other folder - then ctrl clik on the folder to see all aliases - if i need other browsers than chimera i go there and click e.g Exploiter to get it. That way dock remains clean = finder, notes, mail, terminal, chimera, bbedit, appleworks, itunes, prefs, icab, adium, project builder. ALL other apps aer in those minimal folders - you can change those folders icon to make them look nicer on dock.
